Dog Breeds Herding Beauceron
The Beauceron is a highly intelligent and sensitive member of the Herding Group. This breed has the look and form of a balanced, solid, and powerful dog. They have strong jaws, an agile body, with a dense, straight coat. Today the Beauceron serves the function of a protective house dog but at one time was associated as being one of the best of the herding canines.
Although the area of origin for this breed is France (dating back to the 1500s), they are not entirely a French breed. The Beauceron originated from the plains outside of Paris (the La Beauce). These dogs were largely used as farm dogs - driving sheep, protecting cattle, and guarding the family.
The breed was very well known as one of the best herding dogs in France, but remained hidden from outside of the area. They became well-respected in the military as service dogs during both world wars.
