"I love the coat! Great colors!" exclaimed one person, and another wrote, "What in the cookies n cream, caramel vanilla cinnamon latte is going on." Harlequin (merle) may be one of the standard colors that the American Kennel Club accepts for Beaucerons, but it's still stunning to behold on a real live animal. Netizens were effusive in their praise of Goose's good looks, with one gushing at length: "Ok but this is seriously the best looking dog I have ever seen! There are a lot of cute dogs out there but this one wins! Coloring, face, everything. Literally the best looking dog ever."
The Beauceron dog breed
Many viewers had never seen a dog like Goose before and asked if he was perhaps a mix of more common breeds, such as Doberman, German shepherd, and Australian shepherd. In response, Goose's owner explained that the pooch is a purebred Beauceron. Replying to a question about temperament, Goose's owner wrote, "He has moderate energy and high drive. Handler focused, but can be stubborn. Doesn't like repetition. He's very Velcro."
Intelligent and powerful, Beaucerons can weigh as much as 110 pounds. Their lively spirit and strength make these French shepherd dogs well-suited for experienced dog owners who are prepared to wield a firm but loving hand and give them plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation. Beaucerons do well as watchdogs and protectors, and they're also one of the best dog breeds for a small ranch. Many of them were also used in the trenches of the First World War.
