Generally a healthy breed with few major documented predispositions, though hip dysplasia can occur as in most active herding breeds.
A quality diet matched to this breed's active herding-dog energy level.

One of France's oldest herding breeds, believed to have arrived in northern France with Celtic migrations around 800 AD. The breed nearly went extinct after both World Wars and remains genuinely rare, with roughly 400 in the US and Canada combined.

Lively, intelligent, and a bit reserved with strangers, Picards are known for their expressive "smile" and thick eyebrows — genuinely rustic-looking working dogs rather than glamour breeds.
