Boy Bewildered

I've had the great fortune of adopting a beautiful Briard - the dream dog in the picture! She is a dream, the greatest dog I've ever had. She's beautiful, but even more than that, she is so sweet, gentle, patient and funny! Yes, there is a bit of grooming involved, but I figure it's just one more way of getting close to this wonderful creature and not all that much work if you keep the dog in a puppy clip. We live in an apartment. She does take up most of the available floor space, but she is very content as long as she gets a few walks a day - doesn't seem to miss the space, but loves a trip to the dog park for a romp every few days.
Please don't let the fear of alot of work keep you away from these glorious dogs. The truly are hearts wrapped in fur!
