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!!

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.

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.

There is a Beauceron mix up for adoption at a GSD rescue in IL, if anyone is interested.....
