Belgian Sheepdog

Good to know

• Herders and guardians: bred in Belgium to herd and guard flocks, they are watchful, protective and wary of strangers.
• Need for work: energetic and highly intelligent, they need daily exercise and training or dog sports to stay happy.
• Sensitive souls: they bond closely with their people and respond best to gentle, consistent training.
• Long black coat: the long double coat needs regular brushing and sheds heavily during seasonal sheds.
• Herding behaviors: some chase or circle moving things, so early training helps.

Getting out with a Belgian Sheepdog

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
