Caprice - Glendrovers Riante Angelique CD RN AX MXJ CGC FDCh-S VT HIC HOF About Caprice: For 2005, Caprice was ranked as the #1 Briard in AKC agility. Caprice is extremely friendly; she holds the informal title of "BWX" at our home. For those who have not visited, nor know, a BWX is the highest title in "Butt Wags". Caprice is well trained, with good manners. Again, part nature, part nurture. Caprice is very gentle and soft tempered. She will show her teeth to rude dogs and puppies, but won't go any further. She walks away from aggressive dogs. Caprice can be a very silly girl. Like many Briards, she really gets too warm to sleep on the bed with us, but will snuggle and roll between us, upside down, feet in the air, smiling and talking. After snuggling, she'll bound off the bed and to her own sleeping spot. Caprice is a very good mother; she loves to play with her puppies. Caprice is a very enthusiastic worker; whether it is play in the yard, or dog sports. Several agility judges have commented that they have never seen such a fast Briard. Caprice is known as The Inspector; she has to thoroughly inspect anything new. In agility, she was penalized with an off-course because she broke from the sequence of obstacles to run over and inspect the pink tunnel. She had never seen a pink tunnel before! Come to think of it, neither had I. After completing her inspection, she successfully completed the agility course, beginning exactly where she'd left off.
