Beaucerons are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them!
#1. "The Beauceron is a large, athletic, working dog."
#2. "The body is slightly longer than it is tall."
#3. "The dark brown eyes are horizontal and slightly oval."
#4. "The half pricked or drop-ears are set high, either cropped or left natural."
#5. "The tail is fringed, carried low reaching at least to the hock forming the shape of a "J."
#6. "The smooth, short double-coat has longer hair on both the tail and hindquarters. The outer coat is harsh while the undercoat is soft and silky. It comes in black with distinct tan markings and in a less common harlequin coat with patches of gray, black and tan. The harlequin coats should have more black than gray with no white. In the black and tan dogs the tan markings appear in two dots above the eyes, on the sides of the muzzle, fading off to the cheeks, but do not reach the underside of the ears. Also, on the throat, under the tail and on the legs and chest. Tan markings on the chest should appear as two spots but a chest plat is acceptable."
#7. "The Beauceron is a brave, highly intelligent, obedient, working dog."
#8. "Eager and willing to please, they excel at obedience training, very quick to understand and respond to their masters commands."
#9. "The Beauceron is capable of police work, loyal, patient, faithful, fearless and keenly watchful, able to detect danger."

#11. "They love to work and exercise in wide-open spaces."
#12. "Another one of their talents is working as a herding dog. They may attempt to herd humans and anything else in sight and need to be taught this is not acceptable.

#13. "With enough exercise they will be calm."
#14. "Good with dogs they know and can learn to get along with other dogs and cats."
#15. "They should not be left alone for long periods of time without exercise."
