Beauceron dog breed

[le bon paysan]

Just looked them up, they look a mean dog, very closely related to the Doberman.
What were you going to do with it?

they were used as abase for both the Doby and Rott.

Ah just what i wanted to hear,how did you find it to train?
And what kind of temperament does it have?
Can you compare it to any other breeds?

They are late maturing . They drive but don't fetch. I wouldn't want mine around sheep, neighbour's 2 mostly security, uses his on sheep but just got a collie.

They are very attached to their owner/ family , hate being left behind, suffer from separation anxiety (destroyed a cushion) . And my wifes bitch has learnt to open the door and jumps on the bed at first light each morning, as we should be working 'cos she thinks its time to go!

Both go Bananas if someone comes, look very aggressive, hate white vans with a passion, delivery drivers wont get out. Soft as clarts with the kids but bit a neighbour just because he was waving his arms about.
Love em both to bits.

Im after a dog just to do basic sheep work only really to help gather in ,save my legs,
And when i say guard dog ,i wont be training as a gaurd dog as such only to bark on command,
I want something that looks abit intimidating and is naturally wearying of strangers ,
Help keep those who like to have a snoop around at night on there toes.

Sounds like you need a hunterway to me.

This is a working strain, not spoilt by showing ( your problem in UK)

They were the first breed i looked into ,german shepherds ,as i watched an online video of some being used abroad ,
they wouldnt let the flock get off a track into fresh fields ,
But i couldnt find any mention of any being used with sheep over here all show or protection,then others which looked to me with very bad hip/backs,
Shame as ive met alot nice family friendly german shepherds
but they do have that look of intimidation about them,

I'm told GSDs were originally used mainly to guard the crops of small farmers before the invention of wire fences but some do herd (apparently).

https://www.champdogs.co.uk/breeder/4361 <- this guy breeds Beaucerons in Gloucestershire and takes his dogs for sheep training with Beth Watts in Bream (Sheep and Leap dog training) so would be worth a call
