Beauceron

The Beauceron is a French herding dog with a long and distinguished history.

Originating in the 16th century, this breed was used to herd sheep and guard flocks from predators. They were also used to hunt wild boar and other game.

The Beauceron is an intelligent and loyal breed, known for its strength and agility. They are highly trainable and make excellent guard dogs.

This breed is known for its double coat, which is short and dense on the body and longer on the legs and head. The coat can be black and tan, black and red, or solid black.

The Beauceron is an active breed that needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They are friendly and affectionate with their family, but can be wary of strangers.
