Would you recommend them for as a firts time dog. Got some experience, but never owned one myself.

Frontyer hovawart are outdoor dogs not indoor

Frontyer they’re not like retrievers they’re excellent watch dogs

@@solomons5669 nop he can be wathever you want, but he don't live from food only you have to love him

I'm not a certified dog trainer, but certainly an enthusiastic hobbyist. The best way to get to know more about the breed is to contact your local breed club (e.g. Hovawart Club of North America, or in my case Hovawart Club Nederland). The breed is German in origin, so you could also reach out to the German hovawart club to get some info from the country of origin. Maybe there happen to be owners of hovawart or breeders close to you that you could visit to see them in person and get a feel for what they're like.

Thank you so much! I think contact the breed club is the first step too.

He's doing great :) Loves having a little brother. I do these things with him too, but I didn't upload those.

good to know that! may i ask you some questions about these breeds? are they good to be a service dog? if someone has less experience handle dogs but love to training them, could they be a novice dog? thank you

You may always ask questions! Sorry for my late response though. Neither hovawart nor beauceron are generally good as service dogs. They are generally not recommended for novice owners, but if you're dedicated it's definitely not impossible. My hovawart was my first dog on my own (had a family dog growing up) and we're doing fine! Hovawart are estate guarding breeds, meaning they're reserved towards strangers, and independent (they are supposed to guard the estate on their own), so they are not naturally super handler oriented/biddable, and as service dogs they wouldn't be that good because they're not very sensitive and there's the possibility that they would not allow strangers to help you when something is wrong. Beauceron were bred to guard and herd a flock of sheep, with and without presence of the shepherd. So they too are independent self-thinkers, and reserved towards strangers. But they are more biddable than hovawart. They are not suited for service work for the same reasons as hovawart. I personally know no one who has a beauceron or hovawart as actual service dog. I know one person who uses her hovawart as therapy dog, but honestly it's a loaded subject in the community. If you're looking for service dogs, I would definitely go for traditional choices like golden retrievers and labradors; they're the go-to breeds for a reason :).

The_Jonas_W they’re so difficult to get in the uk omg I really want one
