Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Beauceron Dog Breed Profile Information

The Beauceron is a large working dog that is used
for herding. We see a slightly longer body than
its height. The head is in good proportion to the
body and is narrows down to a broad muzzle that
is equal in length to the skull. The eyes are
slightly oval and brown in colour. The ears are
half pricked or can be drop ears that are set
high on the head. They can be cropped. If showing
this dog, they need double dew claws on each back
leg. They have a fringed tail and carry it low,
reaching at least to the hock; this should look
like the letter "J" The tail should have long
hair as well on their hock. The coat of this
breed is double and the main body is smooth and
short haired, with the outer coat being harsh and
the undercoat soft. It mostly comes in black with
tan markings, but you can get the harlequin coat
that has patches of grey, black and tan. This
should have more black than grey, and no white.
In the more common black and tan you can see two
tan markings, one above each eye, on the sides of
the muzzle fading out before you reach the end of
the cheeks, these markings should not go under
the ears. Tan marking can be on the chest, and it
is desirable for these to be seen as two spots
but it is OK to have this as a chest plate of
colour.

History: The Beauceron dog breed is very rare
inside America. It is a French herding dog going
back to around 1578. In 1863 the Beauceron was
shown at the canine exposition held in Paris. The
first club goes back to 1897. The Beauceron is
believed to be involved with the development of
the Doberman Pinscher. They work guarding the
flock in open areas. They have been used in the
military, running messages, tracking and
detecting mines and finding wounded men in the
midst of the battle. They are able to work even
with exploding bombs and gun fire going on around
them.

Temperament: The Beauceron dog breed is a working
dog and so needs a lot of activity. It is
intelligent, obedient and willing to please. Due
to their quick ability to understand, these dogs
learn fast and are great at obedience training.
They have a love of wide open spaces and can, if
not checked, herd up the family. While it is
possible to have this dog as a pet, this can only
happen if you are willing and able to offer the
dog all the exercises and mental stimulation they
need. They can get along with other pets by
allowing for them to get to know the other
animals. Having good leadership over this dog
will give you a well balance pet. Socializing
helps greatly. If these conditions are met you
have a lovely dog and good companion.

Health issues: As with a lot of large dogs you
can find hip dysplasia can happen. Some lines are
prone to have bloat.

Grooming: The Beauceron dog does not need lots of
grooming and only needs a touch more attention
while it is shedding.

Living conditions: The Beauceron dog can do well
in an apartment but only if the right amount of
exercise is given, they are fine. They do need a
garden and a large garden is best suited for this
dog. This dog needs long walks and in different
areas, to them the variety they need. They love
to run free off the lead.
