Domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) The Briard /briËÉËrd/ is an ancient breed of large herding dog, originally from France. A Briard-type dog appears in Gaston Febus' Livre de chasse (Book of the Hunt), written in the 14th century. According to legend, about the same time, a Briard fought a judicial duel with Robert Macaire to avenge its owner's murder, Aubry of Montdidier. Charlemagne, Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette are all said to have owned Briards.
The Bridoodle is a hybrid between the Briard and the Poodle and will often have distinctive characteristics of both breeds. The Bridoodle is muscular in appearance with long legs that end in compact, well-arched feet. The hair of a Birdoodle is coarse and long with a slight wave to it. Both parent breeds have round heads with long muzzles and the Bridoodle will also have a long muzzle with dark, oval shaped eyes.
