Sometimes I go to dog shows and see all the same dog breeds. Sometimes I go specifically to see a specific dog breed.

Then there are other times when I go to a dog show and see a breed of dogs I had not seen in my previous visits.

Until the last few years I had never even heard of a Berger Picard let alone seen one.

I always enjoy being introduced to a new breed of dogs. It is especially cool when it is a dog breed with such cool characteristics.

The Berger Picard is a dog that is on the large side of the size scale.

And the Berger Picard has really cool looking thick wiry long fur.

The fur on the Berger Picard’s face grows into a long almost stiff looking beard.

And that is one of the things I like most about this photo. The Berger Picard is shaking their head and the dogs beard is swooshing from side to side in the air.
