The Briard Pedigree Finder is pleased to be beta-testing brand-new software from phpPedigree. Problems can be reported to diannes@users.sourceforge.net

The information in the Briard Pedigree Finder was compiled from publically available sources for informational purposes only. No warrantees are expressed or implied.

Related resource: The subscribers to Briard-L have compiled a worldwide list of kennel names; it is at http://www.briardworld.com/misc/kennel.html.

Many people have provided information to the Briard Pedigree Finder, and I am indebted to all of them. Special thanks are due to the following:

• Fran Taylor, whose Briard Register provided me the original inspiration
• Dave Behrens and the Briard Club of America for contributing their data
• Doris Vaterlaus, for copies of the Swiss Briard Bulletin from which some of the information on European dogs was taken
• MBF's Infodog web site
• The American Kennel Club's web site, their Stud book and Awards publications, and most especially for their wonderful library, which served as the source of French, Belgian, Swiss and UK studbooks
• The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals
• Inka Ritola for Finnish pedigree information
• Anne & Carl Mitchell for their database of Australian dogs
• Linda Beall, for data from the AKC Studbook
• Bjarne Grandalen, for sending information on every Briard registered by the Norwegian Kennel Club between 1986 and 1996
• Heinrich Schuler, for the many, many thoughtful additions and corrections he's contributed
• Barbara Eichner for her help with Briard Club of America historical records
