Description
The Epagneul Picard is a charmingly scruffy, endlessly devoted companion with a sweet, sensitive soul. They thrive on human connection, often shadowing their favorite people with a gentle gaze, and are known for their calm demeanor indoors, a welcome contrast to their tireless work ethic outdoors. These spaniels possess a classic "on-off" switch: relaxed and cuddly in the home, but instantly alert and driven when a scent catches their keen nose. While generally good-natured, their intelligence and desire to please make them responsive to kind, consistent training. They form incredibly strong bonds, offering quiet affection and a steadfast presence to their families.
