The Berger Picard Michael Stonewood

The Berger Picard is a breed of herding dog that originates from France. The breed is named after the Picardie region of France where they were developed. The Berger Picard is also commonly known as the 'Picardy Shepherd, ' the 'Picardy Sheepdog, ' and simply as the 'Picard.' The breed nearly went extinct during World War 1 and World War 2 and is still considered to be a rare breed of dog. Like most working dogs, the Berger Picard has a well-muscled and medium-sized body. Due to the breed being developed to work, the Berger Picard is a highly energetic breed.
