          We took him to Central Park via 5th Avenue where he was surrounded by 
          curious onlookers who marveled at his beauty and demeanor. I had a taste 
          of stardom standing next to Noir, paparazzi like. Noir robbed the artist 
          who designed the orange gates in CP, we were thronged with "WHAT 
          KIND OF DOG IS THAT?". He was a large regal Briard, his beauty 
          absolutely commanded attention yet loving, easygoing and loyal. One 
          of our newest neighbors who I don't think even knows our name would 
          jump out of the car and plunge herself into Noir, she could not get 
          enough Noir: Love! Noir was a very large dog but his presence was even 
          larger.
          How do you put these feelings into words? - Frank 
        A great and generous Briard he will be missed by many, 
          especially his family. His magnanimous temperament and love of all radiated 
          from his magical expression. His beautiful conformation and “quick-silver” 
          movement has been passed to his classic progeny.
        He was the first Briard that I shared in showing to 
          his Championship which he attained at less than 2 years of age. He finished 
          with a major and BOS over Specials under Judge Virginia Lyne. He gave 
          it all to me. He was a natural herding dog and attained a CGC under 
          Frank’s guiding hand and an HIC with me. 
          A descendent of Jammer (Jen Harbin) and our Rose, 
          he barked with a half-British accent. – Lana
