The Beauceron is a breed of herding dog that is native to the plains of Central France. They were historically used as working dogs- herding sheep and cattle, supplying transport, detecting land mines, and as a police and rescue dog. They generally have a black and tan coat with a hard outercoat and a wooly undercoat that grows thick in the winter. Double dewclaws are characteristic of the Beauceron, especially if the dog is used for field and hunting. The breed is known to be athletic, intelligent, calm, gentle, and fearless, but adults are suspicious of strangers, making them natural guard dogs.
Beaucerons have a withers height between 24”-27.5” (61-70 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 65-100 lb (29-45 kg). The Beauceron has an overall body length of roughly 36”-42” (91-107 cm), standing height between 32”-36” (81-91 cm), and a typical lifespan of 9-12 years.
