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
