Description
The Belgian Shepherd, a medium-sized dog from Belgium, was originally a herding breed. They are closely related to the Dutch shepherd and distantly to the German Shepherd, who they are commonly mistaken for. They are slightly smaller then the latter, with an athletic and agile build. They are classified into four distinct varieties based on the appearance of their coat.

ā¢ tervuren: long hair, fawn or red coat with black mask.
ā¢ groenendael: long hair, fully black coat.
ā¢ laekenois: rough/curly hair, fawn or dusty coat.
