Beaucerons

I've never heard of this dog breed until now
>"the Beauceron is noted as one of the breeds used to create the Doberman Pinscher"
interesting

They're herding/guard dogs so expect them to go insane without rigorous exercise.

Is 2 to 2.5 hours of exercise a day not enough (walking, jogging, hiking, swimming, fetch, field search games)? I can do more on days off work.

Two hours is no where ideal and it's not just going for short walks multiple times a day. They need 'hard' exercise, like other herding dogs. They were build for endless energy(you will be exhausted before they even slow down) and hard, long work. Throwing a ball is going to get old for them fast as herding dogs are some of the most intelligent breeds(which makes them more difficult). My belief is that a happy herding dog is a working one.

Don't get one. I myself cannot have the dog I want(catahoula cur) because it wouldn't be fair to them if I didn't have the property or jobs for them to do. Plus that and just about all of them come from working lines so it'd be near impossible to find a breeder that DIDN'T breed for energy, stamina, work, etc.

Dogs are individuals but you need to look at the breed overall first and not get one on the 'chance' that it may not be a neurotic, destructive price of shit.
