Whats a Beauceron?
Basically, it’s a short-haired Briard :-). But the picture I have of a Beauceron doesn’t look anything like a Briard–it looks something like a Rottweiler or Doberman. Under the coat, Briards and Beaucerons are actually very similar and the breeds share a common ancestry–in fact, dogs show catalogs did not distinguish between the two as separate breeds until 1893, and the two continued to be interbred into the 1900s.
