Berger Picard
The Berger Picard is a rare and ancient French herding dog known for its rustic appearance, upright ears, and J-shaped tail. These dogs are highly intelligent and loyal companions with a playful sense of humor, though they can be independent thinkers. Originally bred for herding in the Picardy region, they are athletic, observant, and deeply devoted to their families.
