Rare Breed Network: Berger de Picard Standard Because of the French practice of grazing in unenclosed areas, often adjoining land planted with crops, the Berger de Picard developed a herding style referred to as "boundary" or "tending."

Because of the increased threat of predators, French shepherds preferred a herding dog with a strong protec-tive instinct that has led many of the more well-known continental herding breeds into police work. The Berger de Picard is a lively, energetic, affectionate dog that is still primarily used in France for herding. rarebreed.com /breeds/picardy/picardy_ukc_std.html   (688 words)

German Shepherd Dog FAQ On that day, von Stephanitz purchased a herding dog he observed at the show, and he and Meyer decided to form the Verein fur Deutsche Schaferhunde, S.V.
