No. The Berger Picard's scruffy coat sheds throughout the year and, as a result, distributes pet dander through your home. Dander is the primary cause of pet related allergies.
For most breeds, eye contact is an act of aggression. But Berger Picards use eye contact to communicate. While this is a lovely trait for their owners, it can cause problems. People may mistake the eye contact for friendliness and get too close to a Picard before he's comfortable with them. Be sure to tell strangers your Picard needs time to warm up. Direct eye contact also makes many dogs feel threatened, even when they mean no harm. Early socialization is particularly important for this breed so they can learn to interact with other breeds.
Berger Picards can learn to swim and many enjoy splashing in water on a hot day. Always watch your dog closely in or near the water.
