The Berger Picard is a member of the Herding Group. They were recognized by AKC in 2015. Remy is a very social girl, as can be seen from the photos. But they are also extremely loyal to their owners. Remy will play any game Mary wants, but she excels at Therapy work. She is an active exhibitor at the Moore County Pet Responsibility Committee’s visits to the schools.

The Corgi’s Lament
I woke up in my basket, the day after you’d gone.
I felt so sad and lonely, no lap to sit upon.
I had no-one to run to,
No treats to take with glee.
I had no plans for walkies, now you are not with me.
I know I’ll be looked after,
I know they will be kind.
But you were my true Mistress,
And I’ve been left behind.
I hope your journey’s peaceful and all I wish and pray,
Is I’ll be there beside you,
Once again one day.
