#10 The complexity of the character is given by the desire of the “boss” to dominate, which is especially noticeable in males.
The desire to control is expressed quite vividly and is often directed not only at other animals in the house but also at family members. Many owners joke that the Beauceron, as a true herding dog, considers those around him to be helpless sheep, for which he is entirely responsible. Maybe it really is. A willingness to protect the weak is the hallmark of the Berger de Beauce. That is why even small children can be safely entrusted to them.
#11 Many are surprised by the habit of this dog to slightly bite and pinch people by the legs.
Such behavior does not pose any threat to human health, but it is due to the fact that in this way the distant ancestors of today's shepherd dogs managed herds, pointing them in the right direction of movement. This gesture is by no means aggression, but simply a manifestation of vigilance and concern for others.
#12 Beauceron unquestioningly accepts the master’s authority and obeys him in everything.
Don't confuse this with servility and servility. To paraphrase the classic, we can say that the "boss" will serve, but never will. Building such a relationship with a dog is possible only through justice, respect, and love. It should be borne in mind that such love for the owner also has a negative side. Long-term separation is very difficult for these dogs and may even get sick.
