That “Fransche Herdershond” (3:53) looks like a hella fun guy.

Snapping fingers must have been the precursor to the clicker? Thanks for the enjoyable break.

I’m wondering what that Fransche Herdershond would be called in English, and is that type of dog still around? And I really want one of the Matin Belgische trekhond. It looked just like a Rottweiler, but in other colors than black and tan, which would make it easier in interactions with silly people who think Rotties are scary.
Dang, I just spent time looking and found it was called the Belgian Mastiff, used as a drover and carting dog, but the breed disappeared after WW2. That is a real shame.
I was impressed to see that the Ruwharige Belgische Herdershond back then is a lovely example of an old-style Laekenois Belgian Shepherd, and the Hollandsche Herdershond shows us what an original Dutch Shepherd looked like.
Thanks, Shirley, that was really nice, and even educational!

Re: your initial question, I was looking into it myself and I’m pretty sure it’s the Briard.

Fascinating how both the boston terrier and the boxer appear in those days. Very different now.
