By Barbara Kelly


It is no secret that dogs make excellent pets. However, not every breed is safe to have around your kids. You need one that has all the right traits for a safe home environment. One kennel that meets this criterion is the Beauceron dog breed.

In general, the dog is big bodied and very athletic. It has established a reputation of being a working dog due to the ease with which it can be trained and its obedience. It has a body length that slightly outdistances its height. One physical feature that makes it outstandingly beautiful is its long head that augurs perfectly with the shape of its body.

Unlike many domestic kennel species, it has a skull length that is equal to the length of its broad pointed muzzle. Its eyes are also dark brown in color and are generally hard to miss. Its ears are half pricked and high pointing.

Temperamentally, Beaucerons are known to be obedient and have an uncanny eagerness to make their masters happy. Moreover, they possess an intelligence level and brevity that is superior to what other breeds have. Due to their obedience, they are very easy to train.

For ages, they have been highly favored for law enforcement responsibilities all over the world thanks to their useful traits. They are loyal, fearless and watchful, all excellent qualities for police field work. Many police officers are on record acknowledging that Beaucerons helped save their lives at some point due to their inclination to easily detect danger.

A Beauceron is also incredibly active and likes exercising on open fields. It is this aspect that has made it a darling amongst many pastoral communities. On limited occasions, nonetheless, there are a few that have gone as far as attempting to herd people. Fortunately, this aspect can be quickly resolved through training. The kennel loves herding as the running up and down helps it release unspent energy.

Without exercise, they are known to get agitated. As such, you might want to consider getting a different type if you live in an apartment or have little time to take your kennel outdoors. Exercise always makes the kennel calm.

Most dogs like to act aggressively in the presence of competing breeds. However, this does not happen with Beaucerons. They stay calm in the midst of other dogs and cats. Even so, it is prudent to keep it on a leash when other dogs are nearby just to be safe.

Another good trait is that the breed is pretty good with kids, which should be a plus if you are a parent. It acknowledges human beings as being authoritative figures and cannot harm children. It easily takes commands from members of a family provided it is treated well.

In spite of this, they mature slowly. With proper socialization, your puppy should acquire good skills to mingle well with other animals and people.
