THE most amazing thing that happened in 2008. Laurie Beck and Page finished the OTCH! There are many, many (hundreds) of Obedience Trial Champion Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Shelties, Labrador Retrievers, etc. There is exactly ONE Briard Obedience Trial Champion, and that is Page. It took years of hard work and dedication on Laurie's part, but she did it! Lebec Briards is so very proud of Page, Sassy's daughter from my first litter, and I'd like to thank Laurie for putting that crowning touch on a remarkable litter, and congratulate her on this amazing achievement.

Page's name contains three titles never earned by a Briard before - AKC Obedience Trial Champion (OTCH), UKC Obedience Champion (U-OCH) and UDX2 (Utility Dog Excellent, 20 legs earned).
