Default Beaucerons and GSD's rare in the USA?

Beauceron/ German Shepard Mix Puppies

And how would you get blue merles out of this cross? Is that possible?

I don't buy it. Look like Catahoula cur mixes. Or who knows, could have been a dual-sired litter as well.

Beauceron's can come in a harlequin coat color, so maybe it came from the Beauceron part?

Beuceron's have a "merle" coat. Beauceron's are not common in the US. I"m not sure what the purpose would be to breed to a GSD.

Most Beacerons look like Dobes on Steroids. I know a few in the states but they are not common. The right one can be a very intimidating dog but I gather they have their own set of issues. I have not seen any merle ones though.

No clue what they were thinking putting the two breeds together.

Beaucerons are very rare in the US - and harlequins even more so. The post has been removed though, so I can't see it.

But this is a harlequin...


I do like beaucerons, but crossing them with GSD's would be pointless.

Unfortunately they crop their ears (in the US)

Disturbing when people want to play frankenstein breeding in their backyard.
