Latest Beauceron Frequently Asked Questions:
I haven't been very lucky, the kennel where we got our current boy from is no longer breeding, although they did point us to another breeder in Canada. The other part of the problem is I'd like a harlequin (which are harder to find). I'd like to buy from Canada or the states, but I've only found one or two kennels, and only one of those produces harlequin's. I can't seem to find kennels in France (that have a website I can read). They are such a rare breed, and trying to find a breeder is giving me a headache. (I'm researching breeders right now, I won't get another dog for a year or two) Can you help? I'm trying to pick the breed I'd like in the future... that's why I've asked about the Bordeaux in past questions... I contacted the Lady in CA, last night she noted that someone is "working" on her site... she is still breeding. So far she's all I've got. But I'll try what you suggested. I know both breeds aren't for everyone, but we currently own a Beauceron so we know what we are in for.
Answer:Unfortunately, all I can recommend is that you contact the Parent Clubs in the USA and Canada. There is a woman with a harlequin Beauceron that I've seen at my area shows, but I have no idea where she got it. USA Club members: http://www.beauce.org/General.htm Looks like some people in CA have bred Harls in the past, but their last litter info was from 2001: http://home.earthlink.net/~beaucerons/BCRpuppies/BCRpuppies1/ You could contact them and see if they're still breeding. ADD: LOL! I did exactly what alambre suggested, and the woman with the website I mentioned owns/bred the #1 and #7 Beaucerons in the breed standings. So I guess she is still breeding! http://www.caninechronicle.com/Statistics/breed-display.php?cat=846
He is a Beauceron, and weighs about 120-130 pounds. The milk I gave him was Garelick Farms 2% Reduced Fat Cow milk. Is this going to effect him at all? Is it bad for dogs to drink milk?
Answer:ya its bad for them but not to bad i think you should bring him to the vetinarian just to make sure he is ok.=]
When you think about it, all dog breeds are created by 2 or more breeds For example: The Doberman Pinscher This is a breed of relatively recent origin. It was developed in Germany in the 1860's, presumably by crossing among German Pinschers with Rottweilers, Beauceron, Pinschers, Manchester Terriers, Greyhounds and English Greyhound to create the sleek and highly intelligent Doberman Pinscher. I just kind of thought about this recently. Does this make sense?
Answer:I think it is sort of an interesting question. While some argue that the breeds that exist and are recognized today are 100 or 150 years old (or even older), one could argue that no new breed would ever exist if people didn't cross breeds with a purpose today ... like labradoodles. If you wanted a labradoodle breed - perhaps you want the outgoing temperment of labs with some of the shape and intelligence of poodles. The breeders would have to pick offspring with the desired coat/shape/temperment qualities and breed them and so on. At some point 50 years down the road, maybe you'd end up with a pool of dogs that would breed true. Unfortunately, I think many "designer" dog breeders are just aiming for the first generation and don't think much past that (and just think about making money). I think the development of new breeds shouldn't be derided but irresponsible breeders make that quite difficult. Interesting question to think about though!
German Shepherd Mastiff Doberman Pinscher Akita Beauceron Rottweiler Great Dane Irish or Russian Wolfhound Airedale Boxer St. Bernard Alaskan Malamute Pitt Bull Borzoi Other
Answer:The Doberman is the dog for me, or possibly an Akita, but I absolutely love my 3 dobes. They're all friendly with those I'm friendly with, wary of those I'm uncomfortable with and have proven themselves to be protectors as necessary, without any training other than obedience and some agility. dobermans are extremely intuitive and will instinctually know if something is not right with somebody, if you socialize them throughout their life they will know better what it's like to have people welcomed in their house and on the street, if someone in public makes you neveous, act it out like your nervous and they will learn to pick up on it. The main thing w whatever breed you choose is socialization and obedience, all breeds listed are dogs that require a certain type of owner as well as socialization, which is the difference between protectiveness and viciousness. Also, make the dog part of your family, living in the backyard is not going to make your dog love you like it would in the house. Dogs will not protect anyone they do not care about, they may guard THEIR territory but if their territory is the backyard, what exactly are they protecting? FYI the russian wolfound IS a borzoi
OK so I've been wanting a powerful large breed. Ive always loved big dogs. My choices were Apbt, rottweiler, dogo argentino, American bulldog, bull mastiff, great Dane, English mastiff, or doberman pinscher, or maybe boxer. Then i narrowed it to rottweiler, doberman or bull mastiff or maybe English mastiff. Well i jog a lot and bike alot, and now i was walking my other dog ( Beauceron ) and this guy offered me an American Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler mix. Its a puppy, and has all of his shots. I was wondering if i should get this puppy for only $50, and welcome him to my loving home, OR get one of the other dogs i mentioned from a professional breeder. I know these breeds are legal where i live/\ This guy doesn't breed his dogs, his friend gave him this dog supposedly.
Answer:I would get a Great Dane or Doberman - They are great dogs. A joy to train and be with...they are good with kids if you are ever around any...They are wonderful pets. A Irish Wolfhound is also a outstanding choice if you have not considered that yet.
