A very versatile breed, the Bas Rouge (Red Stocking) was once used to
hunt wild boar. It served in both World Wars as a messenger dog, a
supply transport dog, and in detection of mines and rescue of the
wounded. In addition, the Beauceron has strong herding traits and
capability. This muscular and energetic breed is described as
intelligent, calm, aloof, and very protective of children.
