Character Traits 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 many species of pet dogs, this one has a skull length that is neither longer nor shorter than its protruding muzzle. Its dark brown eyes are enchanting. Also noticeable are its halfway prickled upward pointing ears.

Temperamentally, Beaucerons are known to be obedient and have an uncanny eagerness to make their masters happy. Moreover, they possess an intelligence level and brevity that is superior to what other breeds have. Due to their obedience, they are very easy to train.

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 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.

Many dogs act violently when they come into contact with other breeds. However, this is not the case for this particular one. It behaves perfectly normally with other dogs and domestic animals such as cats. Even with this trait, it is advisable to keep it restrained when other breeds are nearby just in case.

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.

Beaucerons grow incredibly fast. It only takes 3 months for puppies to get to 40 pounds. At times, this proves to be overwhelming for children who develop an attachment to small sized pets. In spite of this, they mature slowly. With proper socialization, your puppy should acquire good skills to mingle well with other animals and people.
