Berger Picards
BeauVol Dogs
BeauVol (beautiful flight) is the perfect way to describe Papillons and Picards are smooth sailers too.
The Berger Picard (pronounced BARE-zhay pee-CAR) or Picardy Shepherd is a medium sized rustic French herding dog. Their scruffy appearance fools many people into thinking they are a mutt or a mixed breed that is new. The Picard is believed to have Celtic roots and has been around for a long time.
Size: 50-70 lbs with a thin, muscular build
Coat: Scruffy and rough (not too wirey) 2-2 1/2 inches long in colors of fawn (tan) shades and dark gray brindles (varigated coat)
Life Expectancy: 12- 14 years
Claim to Fame: Several PIcards were used as the title character in the move "Because of Winn Dixie" because of their scruffy look and because they weren't commonly recognized.
