Suicide replaced Andy McCoy in Briard after McCoy joined Pelle Miljoona Oy. The Briard is an ancient breed of large herding dog, originally from France. At the farm, the Briard was the shepherd's partner, helping with livestock chores. The new Briard (which also included Angela McCoy) released a new album simply titled "Briard". Filleul's natural talent and art lessons from Briard helped her excel in her craft. In 1996, McCoy and Pete Malmi reformed their old band Briard after 20 years. Briard was known mostly for his landscape and portrait painting. Buck (played by Michael, trained by Steven Ritt) was the first family dog, a Briard. Because of these rich grave goods, J. Briard sees them as burials of warrior-priests. However, his new police partner, Capitaine Adeline Briard, is annoyed by his style of investigation.
