If I am not mistaken, those are Doberman pinchers! Aren't they stunning??? I used to have one but I adopted her as a senior and she only lived with us for about a year and a half until going to the Rainbow Bridge! SHe was a total sweetie!!

Info on the breed:

The Beauceron originated in France. They are black/tan or harlequin in colour. There weight range is 66-85 pounds, height 25 to 28 inches, feeding cost $30.There coat is moderately short. They have a distinctive double dewclaw on the hind legs, and a J hooked tail. The ears are preferably cropped, but can be left natural. They are very versatile, can be used for herding, guarding, hunting, guide dogs for the blind and companionship. Much the same versatility as a German Shepherd. It has gained a reputation for its obedience, loyalty, and desire to please its master. This intelligent and calm dog accepting new situation with assurance, enjoys a run and needs an outlet for there energy. A strong but not harsh master is recommended. The Beauceron was used to carry messages in times of war.

Way to stocky and chunky to be a Doberman. They also do not have the correct ear structure. The fur seems a little to shaggy also.

If you right click on the picture and click on properties- it says "Beaucerons" right in the address. ;)
