The Berger Picard dog is a dog breed being considered by the AKC for inclusion as a registered breed. The following article describes the breed.
One of the oldest dog breeds in France is the Berger Picard – its name was derived from the region of its “said to be” origin, which is the Picardie region. Yes it is as unique as the name sounds, this dog breed almost faced extinction during World War I and II. Some say that there are only a few of them left, so stumbling across one of its kind would be quite rare. Having one as a pet would give you a great feeling of pride, like the feeling you get when you know that you're one of the few people owning a private helicopter, or reading this article.
According to research, there are only 3000 Berger Picards left in France, and about 300 in Germany. In terms of looks, this pooch is gorgeous – it boasts a well-muscled and medium build weighing 50 to 70 pounds, and standing anywhere from 21 to 26 inches. The hair of its coat is of medium length with a “wire” appearance, coming in the color variations of gray and fawn. The ears are also of medium length, that sit on the top of its head like two triangles. Back in the early days of France, they were used as sheepdogs – it was their responsibility to keep the livestock in place and watch out for predators on the prowl.
Being a sheepdog meant learning many commands and the ability to work “hand in hand” with the shepherd. With the given information, it's safe to say that the Berger Picard is an intelligent dog breed. The smart pooch wasn't only good at doing jobs, but also made a great companion for lonely people or families. They proved themselves to be very loving; they just love staying in the company of their owners. Another thing good about this dog breed was that it was playful and got along very well with children.
When put into the “family scenario”, it treats them as if they were its “livestock”.
It has the tendency to be very protective and watch over the property, which is great for those looking for a guard dog. One thing that the Berger Picard will demand is attention – leaving it to be alone for long periods of time will make it uneasy and lonely. That would then lead to the development of behavior inclined towards destruction. Try locking it up in a house for sometime by itself, and when you get back, you may be looking at chewed up couches and tables with scratches. This dog breed will need proper canine behavioral lessons at an early age to stop the development of any potential problems.
Give it time for bonding – this is very important if you want to ensure a healthy relationship between you two. Introduce it to the other pets in town as well as your friends and family; doing so does have its benefits. These are only some pointers to keep in mind if you're really that lucky to actually have a Berger Picard in your possession – for more information, do some research.
