Is there a dog breed that looks like a beauceron and a personality of a Doberman pincher?

Dobermanns and Beaucerons were bred for different purposes, Dobermanns were bred to guard people and property, whereas Beaucerons were bred to herd and protect sheep. Beaucerons are a Pastoral breed and Dobermanns are in the Working Group. At first glance the two breeds may look similar; they are usually both black and tan with the same level of intelligence. However, Dobermanns have a much smoother, shorter coat and are usually docked. Beaucerons are not docked amd have rougher, longer coats. Some Beaucerons may also have a harlequin coat colouration, similar to that of some Great Danes. The two breeds may display some different behaviours, with the Beauceron much more eager to herd (like a Border Collie). Dobermanns are not a herding breed and are much more inclined to guard. They both grow to a similar size and weight. Beaucerons have a unique double dew claw on their hind legs which Dobermanns do not have. Beaucerons are also exceedingly rare, whereas Dobermanns are relatively popular as guards and pets.
