The Police Dog: History, Breeds and Service
Return to Book Page Extract from: The Police Dog: History, Breeds and Service Copyright James R. Engel April 2012 Chapter 9 France France is a nation with an ancient history, a culture that was a foundation of western civilization when the Normans invaded England and made French the language of court for several centuries. Their language is melodic and beautiful, a foundation of western literature and for many centuries the international standard of diplomacy, science and culture; if you could not say it in French it did not really matter, for you were not really worth hearing anyway. In the countryside today this is a nation of physical beauty and tranquility, in many ways the French really do know how to live. The rest of the world does not always love the French, but it is very difficult not to admire them, perhaps even with a touch of envy. Leon Destailleur French Herding Breeds But when it comes to dogs, at least among the Americans, French meant Poodles and not much else. Much of this was perception, for the farmers and herdsmen of the French countryside evolved their indigenous herding breeds, the Picardy Shepherds, Beaucerons and Briards. But among the French population as a whole the perceptions and preferences were much more akin to the Americans than they might like to admit, for the popularity went to the German dogs, the Shepherds, Rottweilers and Dobermans, while the native French herding breeds withered on the vine. Even in France, the exotic import seems to have its allure. The Beauceron is a French herding breed of north central France and the best represented French breed in Ring sport.
