This rare French herding dog may benefit from a dog food with controlled portions to maintain a healthy weight and disposition. The Berger Picard is less active today than its ancestors were and as such quality as well as quantity of dog food is key for maintaining optimal health and weight.
The History of Berger Picards and Obesity
Genetic testing suggests that the Berger Picard shares a lineage with the German Shepherd. Originating in the base of the French Alps, the Berger Picard has a thick coat to endure the frigid and damp climate enveloping the region. First recognized in the late 19th century, the Berger Picard was nearly extinct following the ravages of WWl and WWll. The breed continues to be used by farmers in France for herding and shepherding flocks of sheep. Today, there are fewer than 5,000 registered Berger Picards in Europe and the United States with the overwhelming majority found in France. This loyal breed is exceptionally loyal and does not part well from owners. The Berger Picard is a very versatile breed adapting well to both small city dwellings and large rural farms.
