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, a Beauceron has a big body and is pretty athletic. It has a long held reputation of serving as a working dog owing to the obedient way it takes instructions. Its total body length outdistances its height. A feature that makes it physically outstanding is its lengthy head that is in perfect symmetry with its body outline.

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.

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 years, it has been used in law enforcement in many countries owing to these traits. Its fearlessness, watchfulness and loyalty especially make it an asset for dangerous missions. It has been known to save countless lives of police officers in the line of duty as it easily detects 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 breed also has a generally fast growth rate. A puppy can reach 40 pounds within 3 months. At times, this can be too much for a child looking for a pet to play with as he grows up. Despite their fast growth rate, they take considerably long to mature. Proper socialization is the trick for raising your puppy to be well behaved.
