The Beauceron is a herding
dogbreed
from France. He
is also known as the Berger de Beauce, the Bas Rouge, or the
French Shorthaired Shepherd.
Appearance
This breed stands 24 to 27.5 inches (61-70 cm) in height and weighs 66 to 85
pounds (30-38.5 kg). His standard colouring is black and tan, black, or
harlequin; other colours (tawny, grey, and grey/black) once prevalent are now
banned by the
breed standard. The coat is short, close and smooth, except on legs, tail
and flanks where there is a slight fringe.
Temperament
This muscular and energetic breed is described as intelligent, calm, aloof,
and very protective of children.
History
The regional names are misleading since the breed really does not come from
Beauce but from
Brie; however, the
Briard claimed
that regional name first. Although quite different in appearance, both breeds
stem from similar ancestral stock.
Working life
A very versatile breed, the Bas Rouge (“Red Stocking”) was once used to hunt
wild boar.
It served in both World Wars as a messenger dog, a supply transport dog, and in
detection of mines and rescue of the wounded. In addition, the Beauceron has
strong herding traits and capability.
