The Beauceron is an intelligent dog that is both courageous and calm. This clever canine learns well, is known for being loyal, and has a natural extinct to please and protect its family. Beaucerons make great guard dogs! They will be wary of strangers and in most cases, do not get along with dogs they are unfamiliar with.

The Beauceron can usually adapt to other pets in the home if introduced when they are a puppy. Should a family include young children, the Beauceron may attempt to herd them, making them a less than ideal choice for households with little ones in the mix. It is important and necessary that a Beauceron get proper training so that it does not take on the role of the “boss”. Early training will help make the most of thi breed’s intelligence, ability to learn quickly, and energy drive. Praise, play, and food rewards are helpful. A Beauceron will push back when asked to do something in an effort to test you, so be prepared!
