About Briar . . .
Briar is a big boy with an attitude to match. He lives with and is loved by Allan and Beverley Hegedus of Regina, Saskatchewan. Briar is a slow maturing dog, with an incredible deep red coat, and a very striking headpiece. Briar is the first champion for his dam, Sawyer. He is also the first Canadian champion for his sire, Lazer.

Briar’s show career . . .
Briar has been shown very selectively. He would much rather bound around the show ring than behave. We are very much hoping that with maturity will also come some ring savvy. (Here's crossing our fingers.) It turns out that with some maturity, Briar did gain ring savvy and got down to business under the talent of friend and handler, Lynn White. Thank you, Lynn!

• In May 2003, Briar won a best puppy in breed over a special under breeder judge, Walter Pinkser. This was Briar's first time at a dog show.
