| Notes |
| |
The Belgian Shepherd Dog (Tervueren) is a
breed of
dog, sometimes
classified as a variety of the
Belgian Shepherd Dog rather than as a separate breed. The Tervueren is
recognized in the
United States by the
AKC and the
CKC under the name Belgian Tervuren, but has recently had an official
name change to Belgian Shepherd dog, Tervueren.
Appearance
Like all Belgian Shepherds, the Tervueren is a medium-sized, hard-working,
square-proportioned dog in the
sheepdog
family. Males stand between 24 and 26 inches, and weigh approximately 65 lbs.
Females are finer and smaller. The Tervueren is recognized by its thick double
coat, generally mahogany with varying degrees of black overlay, including a
black mask. A small patch of white on the chest is permissable, as well as white
tips on toes. Tervueren may also be sable or grey, but this may be penalized in
the show ring in some countries according to the standard of the registering
body.
Temperament
Excellent family dogs, they have high energy and require a lot of exercise
and coat care. They excel at
obedience,
dog
agility, and
flyball.
