Beaucerons are certainly a one-of-a-kind breed that demands an equally one-of-a-kind owner. The Beauceron is a dignified, intelligent, and extremely athletic breed also known as Berger de Beauce ("sheepdog from Beauce"), Bas Rouge (red-stockings), or just "Beauce" for short. The biggest of the French sheepdogs, these statuesque dogs were raised to manage enormous flocks of sheep in northern France, notably the Beauce area, from where they get their name. During both World Wars, the breed performed well as messengers, mine and bomb detecting dogs, and security dogs.

The breed is still uncommon in the United States, and it is unlikely to be found at local dog parks. They're frequently used in the military or police force and may be seen working in bomb detection, tracking, scent detection, and search and rescue because of their intelligence and remarkable ability to operate with their handler.

Dog History

The beauceron, or "berger de Beauce" as it was sometimes known, is a French working dog. It was developed in the 1500s as a wild boar hunter, but it also served as a herding dog and flock protector. The Doberman pinscher may have been a part of the beauceron's past. This French shepherd is not from Beauce, as the name says, but from Brie, where it shares the same ancestors as the briard. To distinguish the two kinds, the name berger de Beauce was coined. The Beauceron Club was founded in 1911 when the two breeds were recognised as distinct.

The beauceron has a natural urge to defend and protect, in addition to herding and serving as a watchdog. The breed is frequently utilised in police service, as well as for protection and rescue. The beauceron's status as a trusted companion and protector is reflected in pictures depicting them as king's companions.

Health and Care

The Beauceron is a robust breed that lives for 10–12 years on average. They like being active and require a lot of excellent exercise to stay in shape. The Beauce requires a caring owner who will offer them with daily exercise and activities like as hiking, jogging, retrieve, and Frisbee, as well as long walks.

Any big or deep-chested dog, including Beauces, is prone to bloat, a life-threatening gastrointestinal ailment. Owners of Beaucerons should get familiar with the symptoms to check for and speak with their veterinarian about how to avoid this frightening problem.

Beauceron puppies, like many other breeds, are vulnerable to hip dysplasia, so make sure the breeder offers information on recent OFA testing, which includes screenings for heart, eye, and thyroid problems before acquiring a Beauceron puppy. In addition to these tests, the American Beauceron Club suggests that prospective Beauceron owners have their elbows OFA tested and that they discuss osteochondrosis Dessicans (OCD), an orthopaedic illness most typically observed in fast developing huge and gigantic breed dogs, with their veterinarian.

The ears of a Beauceron, like those of any other breed, should be examined on a regular basis to ensure that they are clean and healthy, and the teeth should be washed often.

Care

These are huge, lively, and very intellectual dogs, weighing 70–110 pounds and standing an average height of 25–28 inches for males and 24–27 inches for females. These characteristics make them flexible, but they are not suitable for first-time dog owners.

Except for their nails, these dogs make grooming a breeze. Only a few breeds have double dewclaws, like as the Beauceron. The purpose of twin dewclaws, according to some, is to help the dog with stability, making actions like herding more efficient. Nowadays, especially in the United States, it's unusual to see puppies with their dewclaws, as they're usually removed immediately after birth.However, removing them is getting more contentious, and Beaucerons' breeders do not remove them since they are considerably longer and thicker than conventional "dews," and they are also a breed standard. Beaucerons' nails, as well as their dewclaws, must be cut on a regular basis.

The Beauceron, like all herding breeds, sheds. Quite a bit, actually. Because seasonal shedding is so extreme, your Beauce will need to be brushed frequently, if not daily, during peak shedding seasons in the spring and fall. Their coats are short and thick, making it simple to bathe and deodorise them after a fun but muddy trip or swim. However, brushing and dematting beneath the belly will be required on a frequent basis to ensure that your Beauceron looks and feels its best.

The Beauceron thrives on high-quality dog food, whether purchased commercially or cooked at home with your veterinarian's help. Beauceron puppies should be fed according to their age and current weight, with special attention paid to fast-growing Beauceron puppies who may require more calories during rapid development spurts. Beaucerons that spend their days working alongside dedicated owners may require extra nourishment or supplements to promote healthy bone and joint development, growth, and maintenance.

These dogs will not be content if they are merely given a daily stroll around the block. They need to be able to use their natural ability to scent, herd, and pursue on a regular basis. It is critical for their health and well-being to provide them with a regular schedule that includes enrichment activities.

Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

The Beauceron's double coat is short and thick, with a soft undercoat and a rough, waterproof outer coat. Although it does not require much maintenance, it does shed. Quite a bit. And much more so during shedding season twice a year. Brushing using a medium-bristle brush, a rubber grooming mitt or tool, or a hound glove on a weekly basis, or daily during shedding season, removes dead hair before it can fall into the furniture and encourages new hair development. The Beauceron's nails, like those of other breeds, should be clipped on a regular basis since extremely long nails can cause pain as well as issues walking and running. Don't forget to cut the back legs' twin dewclaws.

The Beauceron is a robust, athletic, and clever breed that requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation. This is not a dog for inexperienced owners. They require a variety of outside locales and forms of exercise on a daily basis, and are best suited to an energetic, experienced owner who can give the mental and physical stimulation they require. Despite the fact that the Beauceron was not developed to herd sheep like other shepherd breeds, he may be educated to compete in herding competitions, Schutzhund (protection work), agility trials, and sports like carting, mushing, and skijoring (pulling a person who is on skis).

A high-quality dog food, whether professionally created or cooked at home with your veterinarian's supervision and consent, should be fine for the Beauceron. Any diet should be tailored to the age of the dog (puppy, adult, or senior). Because a working Beauceron has high nutritional needs, it's important to monitor your dog's health on a regular basis to ensure his food is fulfilling those needs. Conversely, some dogs are prone to becoming overweight, so keep an eye on their calorie intake and weight. Treats may be a useful training tool, but feeding too much might lead to obesity. Discover which human foods are OK for dogs and which are not. If you have any concerns regarding your dog's weight or nutrition, see your veterinarian. There should be clean, fresh water accessible.

Feeding

Allow your Beauceron access to fresh, clean water and feed him up to 2.5 cups of dry dog food every day, split into two meals. The quantity depends on your dog's size, age, degree of exercise, and other factors. If the dog gulps its food or consumes too quickly, it may develop stomach dilatation and bloat. If the stomach twists, the blood supply might be cut off, resulting in a medical emergency.

To avoid being overweight, keep an eye on your dog's weight and talk to your veterinarian about nutritional needs. Being overweight can raise health risks and reduce your dog's lifetime.

Fun Facts

• Henry, the dog in Emma Roberts' 2009 film Hotel for Dogs, is a Beauceron.
• The Beauceron debuted at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2008.
• Cara, a Beauceron (official name: O'Cara Bleue de St Sacrement), was one of the canines employed for search and rescue at the World Trade Center site in 2001. She was said to be wearing a sophisticated camera around her neck that allowed people to look into gaps that were previously only accessible to canines. In December 2001, she got an award for her efforts in the AKC Classic in Orlando, and in February 2002, she received an award at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in New York City.

Home Training Tips and General Information

• Love is all a dog requires.
• One of the most prevalent dog claims I hear as a canine behavioural consultant is that all a dog requires is love. Is that correct or incorrect? You might be surprised by my response!
• There are four things you must do correctly.
• It doesn't have to be difficult to train your Beauceron puppy. You can influence your puppy's behaviour and make training easier right now by doing four simple things.

What Should You Teach? (and When)

Dog training begins the minute your puppy arrives at your home. If you utilise the incorrect training approach, your puppy will begin to make decisions about how he wants you to fit into his life, which will lead to conflict and behavioural issues. You must respond appropriately to anything your puppy does, or he will learn the incorrect things. Here is my suggested workout routine (what to teach and when to teach it) for your Beauceron puppy.

Instill in your Beauceron a sense of deference for you.

I utilise and suggest "Respect Training" as a dog training strategy for Beaucerons. When you say "No," a dog who respects you will stop what he's doing and do what you say. You may teach your dog to respect you by following these steps.

Teach The Correct Words In The Correct Context

My training approach for Beaucerons comprises teaching certain phrases in precise methods so that your dog not only learns the words, but also develops the respectful attitude that motivates him to obey you. Teach your dog to comprehend what you're saying by teaching him words. Teach those terms in the proper context, and he will follow your instructions.

Housebreaking Beauceron is your name.

There are two essentials to breaking into a house. There are only two, but you must get them both correct. And I don't mean 50 percent correct; I mean 100 percent correct. Otherwise, you'll wind up with a dog that is only 50% toilet trained, which no one wants. So there you have it — your two housebreaking keys.

Getting to Know Your Beauceron

Socializing your Beauceron entails teaching it how to interact respectfully with strangers and other animals.
