Sarek
Sarek
the father and grandfather of many influential Briards, passed away in
2001. His legacy lives on in his many accomplishments and in the
outstanding achievements of his children and grandchildren. These
pictures and records hardly do him justice. Perhaps only those who
knew him can appreciate how truly grand he was. Sarek is the first or
second Top Producing Sire in the history of the breed, (with only
13 litters) . He holds many other records. Sarek was truly a
Versatile Briard, winning in the show ring at both the all-Breed and
Specialty levels; and accomplished titles in Obedience, Herding, Agility and Tracking. He earned many
titles but was ready for even more. His desire to work
AND to please his handler made him a STAR in every event.
