Long haired dogs always look so amazing.

The Briard beautifully groomed to show itself off during the dog show.

I love to look at these dogs but I would not be the ideal owner for a long haired dog.

I do not have the attention to detail, patience and consistency required to keep the beautiful long hair of the Briard groomed properly.

One of the things I enjoy most about watching these dogs is how the fur moves with the wind.

As the dog walks, the hair blows back away from their chest and across their nose and into their eyes.

The photo below illustrates how the long hair responds when the dog is in motion.
