| Origin |
The Belgian Tervuren is one of
four Belgian Sheepdogs. It is named for the Belgian village of Tervuren.
Often called a "Terv". In some countries all four Belgian Sheepdogs
are considered one breed. The Belgian Tervuren is recognized as it's own
breed by the AKC. The Belgian Tervuren is used for many things including
companionship, herding, search and rescue and police work. |
| Description |
This intelligent, protective
and energetic dog is used more as a pet rather than working dog like some
of the other Belgian Sheepdogs. They make an excellent farm dog, watchdog
and herding dog and a great family pet as well. They need to be socialized
and trained from an early age. The earlier they are introduced to children,
dogs and other pets, the better they will do. The Belgian Tervuren has
a lot of energy and loves to be on the go. They need plenty of room to
run and play. They are not meant to be indoors all day. It is important
to do your research on the Beligian Tervuren before purchasing. They can
have an aggressive nature, so the more you know about the particular dog
you plan to adopt, the better. Those who show signs of high aggression
may not make the best family pet. |
| Health |
A very healthy breed. Some minor
problems with hip dysplasia, thyroid problems, eye problems, bloat and
epilepsy. |
