1. It is pure bred. NOT a mix of Rottie and Dobie like people think. They are one of the newest breeds accepted by the AKC: http://www.akc.org/breeds/beauceron/
2. seeing as its an AKC registrable dog, i'd say its pure
3. It's a purebreed from France. It's only recently been recognized by the AKC in America, which is why folks don't recognize it very well yet. "The Beauceron is an old and distinct French breed of herding dog, developed solely in France with no foreign crosses. Dogs were bred and selected for their aptitude to herd and guard large flocks of sheep as well as for their structure and endurance." http://www.akc.org/breeds/beauceron/index.cfm
4. It's a pure breed, recognized by the AKC. However, like most dogs of the world, originally it did come from a mix. According to the AKC: The Beauceron is a distinct French breed of herding dog. Though almost unknown outside of France, the Beauceron has a long history. It is a very old breed developed solely in France with no foreign crosses. The earliest record found so far of what is thought to be this breed dates back to a Renaissance manuscript of 1578. In 1809, the abbey Rozier reported plain dogs guarding flocks and herds. In 1863, Pierre Megnin differentiated, with precision, two types of these sheep dogs: one with a long coat, which became known as the Berger de Brie (Briard), the other with a short coat, which is known as the Berger de Beauce (Beauceron).
5. Beauceron (Berger de Beauce) (Bas Rouge) (Beauce Shepherd)
6. None. The Beauceron is an old and distinct French breed of herding dog, developed solely in France with no foreign crosses.
7. You own a Beauceron and you don't know that it is a purebred breed? Please learn a whole lot more about the dog you have and don't worry about some report. The Bauceron is no a 'mix' it is a purebred dog and there are plenty of sites on the internet that discuss the breed and give good information. If this is a class assignment you might actually want to do some real homework instead of asking on this place. No wonder 'Idiocracy' is coming to fruition!
8. the Beauceron is a french herding breed. It is a purebred dog. Though it has only been recently recognized by the AKC (American Kennel Club), the Beauceron is actually a very old breed. It is not mixed with Rottweiller. You can find more information on the Beauceron Club of America. I have seem them in person and they are just magnificient, but a lot of dog.
9. The AKC recognizes this breed so it must be a purebred.
