In the year 2000 we attended a
herdingcourse just for Briards organized by Yvonne De Vries. The location
: the Ardeche (France). During a week we had superb time, together
with 20 other Briards and their bosses. Because our Ayla was already 11 years
old, we just entered our Tholie to attend the course.
