Beauceron is a very old dog breed that came from France. It was used to guard livestock. The other sheep dog found throughout northern France, was the long haired Briard. It was believed that both breeds stem from similar ancestral stock.
The Beauceron is a large dog with solid, muscular body, and a deep chest. The head is long with dark eyes and a black nose. The ears are set high and are natural drop or cropped erect. Although most breeds may or may not have dew claws (many owners remove dew claws, especially if the dog is used for field and hunting), an important feature of the Beauceron is the double dew claw. A beauceron must have double dewclaws, which form well separated "thumbs" with nails on each rear leg.

Beauceron dogs are courageous, intelligent, friendly, calm, and protective of children. They need physical and mental activities to keep them stimulated and they make excellent workers. This breed does well with an active and experienced owner in a rural or suburban home.
