Briard

Briards are working dogs who never clocked out. They’ll herd your kids, your guests, your other pets, and possibly you around the house with an intensity that suggests livestock management is their actual job and you’re just funding their operation. Own a Briard and accept that you’re living with a 55-pound employee who expects constant projects, won’t take suggestions, and has an elaborate memory for every transgression you’ve committed.
