== Temperament == This muscular and energetic breed is described as intelligent, calm, friendly, and very protective of children. This is normally a very calm race of dog and perfect for inside and outside the house. These dogs can be trained for attacking or other training but then you have to buy a beauceron at a specialized dog kennel for this kind of sport. If you normally buy this breed, they are very friendly and stay pretty young in their minds. If you have a Beauceron who is one and a half years, he still is a (big) puppy in his mind. This is positive because the dogs still learn at older ages. This dog isn't as well known as other types of sheperds like the border collie and the German Sheperd, but he still is the strongest one against weather changes. He adapts himself very quickly and he gets pretty old too. This breed can go to 14 years, which is pretty old for dogs of that size.
History The regional names are misleading since the breed really does not come from Beauce but from Brie; however, the Briard claimed that regional name first. Although quite different in appearance, both breeds stem from similar ancestral stock. Beauce is an historical region in northern France, located between the Seine and Loire rivers. ...

Working life A very versatile breed, the Bas Rouge (“Red Stocking”) was once used to herd sheep and protecting the animals from wolves. The breed served in both World Wars as a messenger dog, a supply transport dog, and in detection of mines and rescue of the wounded. In addition, the Beauceron has strong herding traits and capability.
