This calm, reliable dog is loyal and devoted. It may be wary of strangers and strange dogs but gets along with other family pets.
Breed Overview
Originally used as a general-purpose farm dog, the Beauceron originated in France in the late 1800s. They were used to herd and guard sheep and cattle. Though affectionate with family, the Beauceron is somewhat reserved toward strangers and feels protective of the family. They fit best in families with older children or with an active owner. They are intelligent, courageous, and calm. Exercise requirements for the Beauceron are a good daily workout or long walks daily. Grooming is easy with weekly brushing and more frequent brushing during fall and spring shedding seasons. If you like Beaucerons, you may also like its long haired relative, the Berger de Brie (Briard).
