BRIARDS WHO NEED HOMES
IN AUSTRALIA

Zak (the second!!) the Briard needs a new home

Zak is a very friendly, responsive Briard. He is a very energetic boy, who has always been a house dog. He is a grey boy, 5yrs old and neutered. He is fully up to date with vaccinations, heartworm and is microchipped. He does NOT like small dogs but gets along fine with other dogs his own size of either sex. He is currently in a foster home living with 2 adult female Briards and is excellent with them. He would do well as a 2nd Briard or as an only dog with owners who are prepared to spend a lot of time with him. He has some obedience training, and would do brilliantly with someone who wanted an excellent agility or obedience dog. Experienced Briard owners could do a lot with this dog.

Zak is in Queensland

for further info on Zak please email zak@briard.com.au or phone 0419 642845

Fortunately we do not get many Briards through rescue. Very occasionally we do get some who need to be rehomed through no fault of their own.

"if you don't or can't rescue - don't breed"

 Contact your breeder - most breeders WANT to know where their dogs are and most will have in their sales contract a clause stating that they MUST be the first contact for rehoming. This is a good thing, it is the sign of a responsible breeder. Most breeders will screen prospective adoptive homes, again this is important, as we all know that a Briard is not the dog for everyone.

 Don't feel embarrassed to admit that you can no longer keep your Briard. Put the dog above your embarrassment and contact your breeder - they will only want to help. There are many reasons why people have to give up their dogs and it is best to get in contact with people who know the breed rather than turning the dog over to a shelter - where it 's end may not be very happy.

     If, for some reason you cannot contact your breeder or you have contacted your breeder and they cannot help, please send an email to rescue@briard.com.au Include in the email the approximate age of the dog, sex, your location, if the dog has been neutered or is entire, and pertinent things about its background such as; is the dog used to children, other pets including cats, inside or outside dog, housetrained and anything else that you feel may be important. If you like, you can also send a small photo. Once we have all this information, we can then post on this page and screen prospective owners for you. We always want the best for the dog and have been very successful rehoming dogs with this service.

Happy Endings . .
