The Picardy Shepherd, also known as the Berger Picard, is a medium-sized herding dog with a coarse, wiry coat, erect ears, and a natural, somewhat “shaggy” appearance. It is intelligent, energetic, alert, and deeply devoted to its owner. It is a working breed, so it needs exercise, activities, and consistent training.
Advanced DNA analysis allows us to better understand the genetic predispositions specific to the breed and make more informed decisions about its health and care. The PetGen test analyzes genetic variants associated with the risk of hereditary and polygenic diseases that may be more common in representatives of the breed. The result provides valuable information about health predispositions, supporting prevention, diagnostic planning and daily care. It’s a tool that helps owners, breeders and veterinarians act earlier and more informed.
