Vital Characteristics Of The Beauceron Dog Breed

By Barbara Kelly


Without a doubt, dogs are among the best animals to keep as pets. However, only a few breeds are safe for kids to play with. What you require in your home is a pet with good behavioral traits for the safety of your loved ones. The Beauceron dog breed has served excellently as a pet for many years.

Generally, a Beauceron has a big body and is pretty athletic. It has a long held reputation of serving as a working dog owing to the obedient way it takes instructions. Its total body length outdistances its height. A feature that makes it physically outstanding is its lengthy head that is in perfect symmetry with its body outline.

Unlike many domestic kennel species, it has a skull length that is equal to the length of its broad pointed muzzle. Its eyes are also dark brown in color and are generally hard to miss. Its ears are half pricked and high pointing.

When it comes to temperament, Beaucerons are largely obedient and show an instant willingness to please their masters. Furthermore, they are very brave and posses superior intelligence to other breeds. This obedience makes them great for training.

For many years, the breed has been the darling of law enforcement authorities in plenty of countries owing to its extensive positive traits. Its watchful nature, loyalty and fearlessness are essential traits for dangerous police work. In the field, it has been on record as saving dozens of lives of law enforcers due to its ability to sense danger.

This kennel is highly active and prefers exercising out in the open as well. As such, many pastoral communities have for long used it to herd their animals. On a few occasions, however, a few Beaucerons have attempted to herd humans. Luckily, this is something that can be corrected with some short training. Beaucerons love herding sheep because the activity gives them the opportunity to utilize their pent up energy.

Without good exercise, the kennel can develop agitation. Therefore, you are advised to opt for a different breed in case your home is in a closed off space that does not allow much room for exercising. Your kennel will be at its best behavior if it exercises regularly.

Most kennels have the tendency to behave aggressively when face to face with different breeds. However, Beaucerons are the exact opposite. They keep calm in such situations. Even then, take precaution by keeping it on a leash if faced with this situation.

Another good trait is that the breed is pretty good with kids, which should be a plus if you are a parent. It acknowledges human beings as being authoritative figures and cannot harm children. It easily takes commands from members of a family provided it is treated well.

The growth rate of the breed is pretty fast. Puppies reach 40 pounds aged just 3 months. Sometimes, this is too much for kids simply looking to have small pets when growing up. Despite this fast growth rate, Beaucerons do not mature quickly. With intense socialization, however, they grow to behave well around people and other animals.
