Vital Characteristics Of The Beauceron Dog Breed

By Barbara Kelly


It is no secret that dogs make excellent pets. However, not every breed is safe to have around your kids. You need one that has all the right traits for a safe home environment. One kennel that meets this criterion is the Beauceron dog breed.

Generally, this dog has a large athletic body. It has long been considered a working dog owing to its obedience and ease of training. Its body length is slightly greater than its height. What makes it such a beauty is its long head that is symmetrical with its body shape.

Unlike most pet kennels, the length of its skull equals that of its broadly pointed muzzle. It also has enchanting dark brown eyes. You will notice that its ears are high pointing and pricked halfway.

In terms of temperament, the Beauceron is obedient and has often displayed an eagerness to please. It is also quite brave and portrays a higher degree of intelligence as compared to most dogs. Its obedience makes it the perfect candidate for training as it quickly adapts to commands.

For ages, they have been highly favored for law enforcement responsibilities all over the world thanks to their useful traits. They are loyal, fearless and watchful, all excellent qualities for police field work. Many police officers are on record acknowledging that Beaucerons helped save their lives at some point due to their inclination to easily detect danger.

This breed is also highly active and loves to exercise on open fields. For this reason, many communities that herd cattle and sheep use it as a herding kennel. On some occasions, a few dogs in the breed have tried to herd humans as well. However, a little training is all they need. Beaucerons love to herd sheep as they provide the perfect opportunity to make use of their high energy levels.

Without exercise, they are known to get agitated. As such, you might want to consider getting a different type if you live in an apartment or have little time to take your kennel outdoors. Exercise always makes the kennel calm.

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 positive quality is their affection for kids, which arguably is an advantage if you are a concerned parent. They view humans as the ultimate authority and can never act aggressively towards kids. They also obey commands from all family members if they get 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.
