The Beaucerons are known for their incredibly calm and gentle ways. Due to this, they make fantastic pets for families with younger children. However, they are extremely energetic and agile and require a lot of physical exercise, so need a family who partakes in lots of activities that a Beauceron can join in with. These dogs also take a lot longer than other dogs to mature, up to around 3 years of age. This should be taken into account when training but it does make it slightly simpler that they are fairly easy to train. Their training should not be rushed but rather broken up over their first three years with lots of socialization so they develop into well-rounded pooches!

Beaucerons were developed in France and their first reference was in 1809 by Abbe Rozier, who wrote an article on the breeds strong ability to herd. They were involved in the creation of the Dobermann and highly regarded in their country of origin as both guard, working and sporting dogs! They were readily used in WW1 and 2 as messenger dogs, as well as going to and from the frontline to rescue any soldiers that may appear to be injured. Additionally, these doggies were also used in land mines to save any workers from being injured. In 1922, the breed standard arrived and although well-known in France, their presence elsewhere is relatively unknown.
