Salem Makes Beauceron History
Every so often, a dog comes along that reminds us what the Beauceron is truly capable of. Salem has done exactly that, earning historic achievements in two demanding working dog disciplines and continuing to showcase the versatility, courage, and trainability that have defined the breed for generations.
The Beauceron Journee
The Journée du Beauceron is one of the most comprehensive breed evaluations available for Beaucerons. Originally developed in France, the event was designed to help preserve the breed by evaluating the qualities that make a Beauceron a true representative of the breed standard—not just in appearance, but in temperament, character, and working ability.
Bitesports & Beaucerons
When people see a Beauceron excel in PSA, French Ring, Mondioring, or Police Dog trials, it's easy to assume these are modern accomplishments. In reality, the breed's success in protection sports is rooted in hundreds of years of history.
Long before bite sports existed, the Beauceron was already doing the work that these sports were designed to test.
Beaucerons & Herding
Before the Beauceron was seen in sport rings, obedience fields, or protection trials, it was a true working farm dog. Developed in France for one primary purpose: to move, manage, and protect livestock over vast rural landscapes.
