PS: I really like the Beauce' looks and breed functional working characteristics. Not to go off on a tangent, but was re-reading this book on breed history (which is very detailed btw, written from a UK breeders perspective)
"Beaucerons dated back to the 1500s and were known to be in the...
Me too, @Ddski5 in re: "i haz questions?"
and 🙌 good idea to start a new thread dedicated to this project.
I too am very interested to learn "what exactly are they targeting as a trait, as a specific improvement to bring to the dobe breed?"

Not choosing one over another either.
Since I've never bred dobes or even been to a show, I'll hold my tongue, from now on.
You're welcome!

@Ravenbird I'm gonna just say this once:
As I've been reading more on UDC and AWDF and at European Doberman kennel clubs, with a dog centered viewpoint, and having gotten FakeBook working for that, my impression from that social media platforms tainted view of US dog culture ...
