The Beauceron is a French sheep herding dog that dates back to the 16th century.

The Beauceron is a solid, medium-sized dog that has cropped ears and a rough short coat with longer fringes on the tail and hindquarters. It has a distinctive double dewclaw on the hind legs giving it six toes per rear foot.

Intelligent, friendly, calm and protective, the Beauceron is a dog that can be trained easily. Because it has a natural instinct to herd, it typically needs to be occupied with work or a lot of physical activity.Iams: [1]
