About
The Beauceron is an old French plains sheepdog that came to be called the Bas Rouge or Red Stocking in the late 19th century, named for the tan markings on its lower legs. Selectively bred to drive and protect flocks, it is a large, solid, powerful yet unexaggerated dog in black-and-tan or harlequin. Frank, fearless and bold, it thrives with experienced owners who can provide ample exercise, work and socialization.
