Belgian Tervueren
The Tervueren is not a breed for those wanting “just a dog.” They do not make ideal kennel dogs, as they become bored and destructive. The Tervueren is very affectionate and totally devoted to their families. They will protect their home, but it is not advisable to encourage their guarding instincts when they’re young, as they can get confused and start guarding you in inappropriate situations.

Belgian Tervueren
The Belgian Shepherd dog is the only breed in the world that comes in four varieties. They are named after the areas in Belgium from which they came: Laeken, Tervuren, Groenendael and Malines. Hardworking sheepdogs like these have been recognized in Belgium since the Middle Ages. In the 1940’s the Tervueren nearly disappeared altogether. However, interest in the breed was rekindled in the 50’s.
