The breed was very active in both World Wars as messenger dog, supply transport dog, and helped with detecting land mines and rescing wounded soldiers. Beacueron Temperament The Beauceron is intelligent, friendly, very calm, protective of children, and fearless. They are perfect for both inside and outside the house and can be trained for a variety of activities. Due to their herding heritage, they are energetic dogs.
