Breed Education
The Breed Education Committee of the Briard Club of America welcomes you to our pages. We, and our fellow BCA Presenter-Tutors, work to provide educational material and information to all interested in learning about our beautiful breed. We are available to owners, breeders, judges, and aspiring judges as they learn to evaluate the Briard in accordance with the official AKC breed standard.
If you are interested in mentoring on the Briard, you can contact one of the members of the Breed Education Committee
