The merle or harlequin Beauceron is quite beautiful. They seem to be another kind of high maintenance guard dog--I guess this is what you like or consider a challenge?

While I can appreciate their beauty, for myself I will always be getting dogs that are very mellow with children and not guard dogs or dogs with powerful jaws and big teeth, because I hope my daughter has children within the next five or ten years, and I do not want to have to lock a dog up in the bedroom every time she comes over, or worry about the dog getting out and hurting a baby.

"The Beauceron is indeed a remarkable dog. but it must be stressed that the Beauceron is not a dog for everyone and may not be suitable for a first time dog owner. The Beauceron needs a disciplined master who can take the time, and who has the patience required to train such a dog. If not properly handled a Beauceron can become quite assertive. The Beauceron requires early, competent training and socialization by an experienced and disciplined owner. Although they are patient and protective with children, they may not be the best of playmate for a child because of their size and their herding and guarding instincts."
