Picarenzo
The Berger Picard
is a rare and ancient French herding breed, prized for its intelligence, independence, and rustic good looks. Recognised in the UK by the Kennel Club (as Picardy Sheepdog) and gaining popularity across Europe, the Picard is known for its loyal yet discerning nature, trademark tousled coat, and expressive ears. While still uncommon on British shores, this versatile and charming breed is winning hearts with its unique blend of working ability and quiet companionship.

Anything from a half hour daily walk to a whole day out hiking, they are highly adaptable.
