Berger Picard Growth Chart
The Berger Picard is a shaggy French herding dog with a tousled coat, big smile, and an independent, good-humored spirit — one of France's oldest sheepdogs, nearly lost after the world wars. Athletic and loyal, Picards are sensitive souls behind the scruffy look. Most reach an adult weight of 50-70 lb between 14 and 18 months.

Berger Picard Growth Stages
Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Berger Picard puppy grows.
Neonatal
0–2 weeksPuppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.
Socialization
3–12 weeksEyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.
Juvenile
3–8 monthsRapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.
Adolescent
8–14 monthsGrowth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.
Young Adult
14–18 monthsGrowth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.
Adult
18+ monthsYour puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.
Berger Picard FAQ
How much will my Berger Picard puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult Berger Picards typically weigh between 50 and 70 lb. The breed standard does not split this range by sex, so both males and females fall in the same 50-70 lb band.
At what age is a Berger Picard fully grown?
Most reach adult weight between 14 and 18 months. They grow tall in the first year and then fill out, so a lanky yearling that still looks unfinished is usually right on track.
How accurate is a Berger Picard puppy weight chart?
It is a helpful guide, but Picards are athletic herders and the 50-70 lb adult band is wide — working-bred dogs often run leaner. Track your own puppy's trend over several weeks rather than comparing to a single week's number.
How much should a Berger Picard puppy weigh at 12 weeks?
Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.
Do male and female Berger Picards grow differently?
The official adult range is the same for both sexes at 50-70 lb. Males often land toward the heavier end, but the overlap is wide enough that one chart serves both well.
