@@tayaburzynski1365- Tola is a beautiful pup. She is a lean and mean machine! What’s your experience been training her? Has it been particularly challenging in any way? I love to learn about dogs and training - as am researching appropriate breeds for my family and lifestyle.
@@nathanwilliams2152 she is so trainable; our trainers say that what takes some dogs 3 lessons to learn, she always learns in 1. They are sensitive, spunky, active and physical. But if you meet their physical/ mental needs, they can easily be taught to have a good off-switch at home. We do some scentwork, disc/ frisbee, dock diving, trail running and obedience training. If you have kids, they will need a lot of education on how to act around these dogs. Beaucerons are nicknames "bounce-arounds" because of their physicality and jumpiness. She is also incredibly sweet, polite and good with dogs. She's the best thing that's come into my life!
This is because she is only 10 months old. Interesting fact is that the look of the teeth is one of the methods vets use to determine a dog's age. She also looks well-fed, so her teeth are not damaged by food.🐶
That is true but you can also tell how well they were taken care of. My dog had frequent, scheduled cleanings and her teeth were great up until her death at 14 years old.@@Verbatino
@@VerbatinoMy 11 month old already has yellowing teeth, and that’s with occasional brushing, a dental additive to his food, and chews! Ugh. PSA to not give your puppies soft treats - the yellowing on his teeth is only where the soft treats would build up during training 🤦🏻♀️
I have never seen a Beauceron in a Harlequin coat before I have only seen them in a Black and Tan coat just like the Dodermann coat what a absolutely beautiful dog she is and I have heard they are a true loyal dog to its owner and family if I was getting one I would definitely like one this this beautiful dog it's coat is absolutely beautiful I would like to take the time out to appreciate all the hard work that Vanessa put's into grooming all these awesome Dogs and Cat's as well and I would like to thank Vanessa from all the Dog's and Cat's that can't say it for themselves you do a absolutely amazing job on all these Beautiful Dog's and Cat's and I would like to take the time out to appreciate all the hard work that your Cameraman puts into filming all these awesome videos as well he does a absolutely fantastic job Vanessa you are a absolutely fantastic person with a heart of gold 💛 and so is your Cameraman as well..💛 keep up the fantastic work Vanessa....👍🏻👍🏼👍🏻👍🏼👏👏👏👏and your amazing Cameraman as well......,,👍🏻👍🏼👍🏻👍🏼👏👏👏👏💯
She doesn’t like the noise of the grooming process but she’s definitely been well-socialised. Her owners seem on top of everything - her teeth are gleaming and she’s a lean, mean, lovable machine. This dog can kill a wolf, so firm training and socialisation is a must.
Beauceron info for those interested: The dog in the video is a “Harlequin” coat dog. Black and tan, with grey mixed throughout. This is the much more rare coat pattern, with most of the dogs being black & tan. When you combine the standard black&tan coat with the fact that most Beaucerons in North America have cropped ears, the majority of folks who see them think that they are either a “long haired Dobermann” or some kind of Dobie/GSD mix. It’s not a totally unreasonable guess, when you consider that the Beauceron is actually one of the foundational breeds of the dobie. Louis Dobermann’s first dogs were Beauceron mixes. Their double-dew claws are not to be removed. Not only because they are breed standard, but unlike most canine dew claws, they are attached by bone. They are known to be slower to mature than many other working breeds (especially the males) but are still very trainable, and excel at many different working/sport disciplines. Some folks even compete with them in bite sports like French Ring and Schutzhund, even though these dogs are usually not naturally gifted at biting like Malinois and GSDs. One of the best things about the Beauceron in America is that despite being a very old breed (earliest mentions are in 1500’s renaissance writings) the AKC has only recognized them since 2007. So they are very healthy, and the working line dogs are the same as the showline dogs. I.e. the AKC hasn’t ruined them yet like they did the GSD.
@@kathleenchaffin2591 Yes, actually. The Great Pyrenees and the Briard also have double-dews. Coincidentally, they are all from them same French region! In fact, the Beauceron is called the “Berger de Beauce” (Shepherd from Beauce) and the Briard was called “Berger de Brie” (Shepherd from Brie). So while it’s not officially stated, it’s likely that all of these breeds are interrelated.
🤣🤣🤣 I love how just before the small blowdryer goes on the poor thing is giving you major side eye and then when you move closer with the blowdryer in your hand she looks right into the camera with such an ‘O god what fresh hell is this!’ look 🤣🤣🤣
Beaucerons are amazing dogs I was blessed to meet in France, where they are also nicknamed "Bas-Rouge" (meaning "red stockings"). Watching trained Beaucerons quietly work livestock is a wonder to behold, and though they are imposing and protective of their family I always found them sound and wise in temperament. I love this one's uncropped ears and how well she behaved for her first groom.
I’m french, and a friend of mine has had 3 Beaucerons. All sweet, amazing dogs if they liked you (which luckily for me, they did, I spent my time outside with them whenever I went to visit my friend). But they are also amazing guard dogs and can be extremely intimidating. Most people were terrified of them at first. They are very powerful, so you really need to train them well to avoid getting tackled 😅 I have to say I have never seen a beaucerons with that kind of merle coat before tho. They are usually black and brown just like dobermans. She looks beautiful.
J'ai l'impression que l'arlequin devient de plus en plus populaire dans les médias même si j'avoue ne toujours pas trop en croiser 😅 parfois ils ont les yeux verrons, ils font si patchwork !
@@Crapotto ça c’est je pense à cause de la mode du berger australien qu’il y’a eu ces dernières années. C’est un pelage hyper répandu avec cette race. Je croise pas mal de chiens avec cette coloration perso. Mais c’est pas ce que je préfère non plus, je dois bien avouer. Enfin ils restent quand même mignons
@@melissabroudin8389 j'ai aussi ma préférence pour le noir et feu ! Ah oui bon point pour les bergers australien 🤔 m'enfin mtn les parcs à chiens sont les cockers et les Shiba aha
I am sure she will... she is still young. These dogs are really fearless... You can literally tear the down a slab with a jackhammer around a sleeping beauceron. You need more than that to get this very stubborn animal to move if he doesn't want to. Don't ask me how I know...
Your advice that "positive reinforcement and building confidence in stressful situations" helps enable freedom and happiness for a dog, sounds pretty good for raising a human, too.
We had a Beauceron when I was a toddler. She sadly passed away before I grew old enough to actually really remember her. But from what I have been told by my parents, we could have not asked for a more loyal dog. Wish I could have made more experiences with her.
We had a puppy when I was 3, we only had her for about a month due to her being very crazy and energetic for my family with young kids, but I remember so clearly when my mom picked me up from daycare and she was a crate sleeping. I also remember sneaking out of my room at night to go see her, she hated being in a crate. And lastly I remember when she left. I was so sad, and after she left I guess her new owner gave her to someone else cause she tried to eat her chinchilla, and then that owner gave her to the shelter cause she had so much energy. My mom said she got trained good, and she said she saw a picture of her older, but I never saw it. She would be about 10-11 now if she is still alive.
I used to have Beauceron, until my ex took her away...infact literally the other day i was scrolling through your library curious to see if you had a video of one. I miss her tremendously 💔 thank you for posting this video it has brought joy to my day of very fond memories ❤️
I had the pleasure of interacting with a Beauceron puppy, unfortunately cropped, at the veterinary practice where I worked. I was extremely excited as I had heard about and researched this breed as I'm a sucker for a good herding dog. When I asked the owner what were her plans for the puppy - Schutzhund, agility, herding... training? Nope. She replied, "Just to chase around my kids." And I cried when I went home. At about 5 or 6 months he was already at 70 lbs, we couldn't get near him and the owner had zero control and couldn't even muzzle him, so we could work with him. I went home and cried again. This video was lovely to see- this pretty girl experiencing a new, positive situation with uncropped ears to boot! ❤
I had a similar experience. First time dog owners, both seniors, bought a Beauceron for its looks. They were not at all prepared for their dog's protectiveness, alertness and to top it off, they were physically unable to keep the dog from lunging at people.😢
It drives me nuts when people get certain breeds just to have them. And the dog winds up paying the price bc they aren’t giving proper exercise, discipline and or enrichment.
This is unfortunately a common thing. People complain about how much this breed is gatekept, but this is exactly why. This Breed can be so fantastic, or they can be dangerous. We try our best to keep these dogs out of situations that could make them dangerous.
I actually have heard of this breed! Though I only learned about it relatively recently, I like to call them by their alternate name, _Bas Rouge_ (French for ”red-stockings”)
She looks almost like if you were to get a long haired doberman! Partly the coat colours but also the long snout with the half flop ears. She's precious.
Well this puppy is stressed.....but very well behaved....really love the side eye she gave the dryer of death........great job! Hope your day is a good one!
DOOOOOOOGS CAN NOOOOOOOOOT SMIIILEE!!!!!!!!! THE DOG WAS SCARED FOR HER LIFE!!!!!!! IMAGINE HAVING A ROPE OVER YOUR HEAD!!!! She even cut the nails absolutly wrong!!!! This is very bad....
I love all these videos, I learn so much about so many dogs, but I also realized you could totally make up any dog and I would accept it, no question. Girl with the Dogs: and this. is a Beauregard Regal Beagle. Me: omg a Beauregard Regal Beagle, go off
After we lost our first dog, a white German Shepherd mix, I had taken my cat to the vet for a check up. The receptionist told me they had been waiting to introduce me to a dog that had been abandoned there after being brought in for treatment and he’d been there for three months. They’d all discussed how we’d be a perfect family if we were ready. She brought out this 85 lb. golden dog who was sad and quiet. I wasn’t sure but my cat was immediately comfortable. I agreed we’d try over the weekend and see how it went. I asked what kind of dog he was and she said, “A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever”. I laughed and told her she made that up to impress me so I’d take him home. She said no, it was a real breed. This was in the mid 1990s. Bear was 7 and was ours for 12 years. He was the most patient and loyal dog, loving and kind. He was totally devoted. But I always thought how funny his breed name was until I finally met others who knew of them, like Vanessa. I’m with you, she could make up breed names and I’d believe her.
Beauceron means "inhabitant from Beauce" in french. Beauce is a rural region situated around Paris. This dog is also called "Bas-Rouge", which means Red Stockings. They indeed have orange/red/Mahogany hair on their legs.
Tola is a beautiful dog, even when stressed. You and she are very patient and tolerant and I hope that when she gets older, she will adjust better to any situation and say to herself, 'silly me, I have spent so long doing scared when happy is easier'. I thank you for sharing.
We are 90% sure our rescue is a Beauceron or maybe a New Zealand Huntaway. We needed to get him some very specific and intense training because of his power and dominance! So happy to see a pup like our big buddy! 💕
Tola does look like a cross between a Dobermann and Malinois. That's one very beautiful dog! It's so very obvious that she's only 10 months - she still looks a bit puppyish with the long slightly clumsy legs. She still has to grow and settle into her adult form a little more. And she did very well, although everything was new and scary. She looked at the blow dryer as if she was afraid it might eat her at first, but did her best to be brave anyway. I hope she'll be on the channel again in the future.
Awe! This has been my favorite dog breed since I was a kid. I could never own one unless it was a lazy senior. I know that Im not active enough for the breed and couldn't give one the amount of attention it deserves.
She did Great and fought through the situation like a champ 🎉. Kudos to her owners who definitely have done a great job raising and socializing this doggie. As always, another great video Vanessa 😊.
Fun fact: there is hella drama in the AKC Beauceron world, because one of the big breeders refused to seize one of her puppies from a proven zoophile 😅
I love everything about her. Her name, coloring, gracefulness and her breed 😍 She is definitely on the smaller side. I've never seen Beauceron this small ❤❤❤
i'm french, and both my childhood dogs were beaucerons, the first was named betsy, and she was a asweetheart. the second one who passed away recently was named byron, and he was the biggest potato ever. i miss them.
I will never forget the first Beauceron I encountered in France. A massive dog who seemed to combine the best qualities of a German Shepherd and a Rottweiler, with a truly noble expression.
Oh, the Babe reference. My son, who is now 30, called it Dave the Pigger for the longest time. Hearing the reference brought back memories. I'm moving across the country from him and nostalgia is thick at the moment. Thanks for bringing back another good memory. 🐷
I love when you put so much time and effort into grooming a dog, and as soon as they hit the backyard they roll in the dirt 😂😂😂 It's like the ultimate "Fluff you" 😂😂😂
My friend has a 2-year-old Beauceron girl. Nearly 90 pounds of pure happiness and energy 😂 they really need a strong owner's hand, but they are sweet creautres indeed ❤
I consider myself someone who’s pretty knowledgeable on dog breeds, but one day at work not too long ago, I see one of the dog’s paperwork, and sure enough, it’s a beauceron. I hadn’t heard of them until then, but they seem like really cool dogs.
BAA=RAM-EWE, BAA-RAM-EWE, TO YOUR BREED, YOUR FLEECE, AND CLAN BE TRUE! SHEEP BE TRUE!! BAA-RAM-EWE! The cutest, strangest, sweetest movie my daughter and I watch together. 🥰
I have a 10 month old Beauceron, he is already 100lbs. As a dog lover and after raising many dogs as family, he is simply magnificent. At the same time NOT a dog for beginners, he is too strong, too heavy/powerful and energetic to not have a firm and fair master. He eats and drinks a LOT! He is aloof, he has to play and run a lot, he is remorseful when he misbehaves, he is loyal and stays close no matter where we go. He is watchful but not anxious. He is obnoxiously friendly and happy, very much has to be the center of attention among other dogs... it is painful when he steps on bare human feet, he leans on you, he sits on you, he is constantly right where you need to step... This is a Beauceron.
Sometimes I wonder just how many breeds my former dog had. This dog reminded me much of her in appearance, we bought her from our neighbor's litter, so we never knew just what breed she was. She was a little annoying because of her tendency to run to the street, pick fights with other dogs, chase cars and motorcycles and roll on mud, but I admit I miss her crazy behavior.
My closest friend has a Beauceron (normal black and tan, not harlequin), she's 10 years old now and I love that dog very much. Very sensitive, easily anxious dog (more relaxed with age now, she's still very fit and agile, too. You would never guess her age), enormous will to please, super intelligent and not the kind who just loves anyone, you gotta earn her attention. But if you got her trust, you are part of her herd. She'd probably loose her mind if my friend ever brought her to a groomer though, haha. Her claws are also super short like that, it appears that Beauceron claws might be a bit softer, because my friend never has to cut them (only the double-dew claws)
What a Torture the toilettage 🤣🤣🤣 I own Beaucerons and they hate the toillettage but no problems in lakes or rivers 🤣🤣🤣 They are Rustics dogs 😇The oldest breed made in France!
2:30 nail. On. The. Head. I tell so many owners that they need to be confident and put their anxious dogs through *simple and easy* exposure therapy, basically. It's the best thing for them instead of just hiding them away from it all.
