Breed Review: Beauceron (17 Pics)

#4 The first documentary information about the French Shepherd Dog can be found in a manuscript that dates back to 1578.

Much later, in 1809, one of the Catholic abbots wrote a treatise "Working in Agriculture", where he detailed the question of the correct use of dogs for grazing sheep. The author described two varieties of dogs: the long-haired shepherd dog Brie and the much more powerful guard dog, which can cope with the wolf alone.

#5 Half a century later, in 1863, a dog show was held in Paris, where the French Beauséron was first presented to the public.

However, the breed received official recognition later, in 1896. A commission of respected experts approved at its meeting the first standards for two varieties of the French shepherd - Berger de Brie (long-haired) and Berger de Beauce (smooth-haired). The name "Beauceron" was given for the French region of Bose. A year later, under the auspices of the French Ministry of Agriculture, the first kennel club of this breed was created. The official club, which dealt directly with the Beauceron, appeared in 1911. It exists to this day and strictly controls the breeding of the breed in France.

#6 Berger de Beauce are very popular in their country, but much less known outside its borders.

Experts say that this is for the best. None of the "outsiders" had a hand in breeding work, which has allowed to fully preserve all the working qualities of the dogs to this day.

Today, the Beauceron in France is an excellent service dog, which is successfully used both in the army and in police work.
