Belgian ShepherdCharacteristics of the Belgian Shepherd.
The Belgian Shepherd/Groenendaal is the most popular of the four Belgian Sheepdogs. It’s a muscular black dog, very agile and it’s body is squarely proportioned. The coat of the Belgian Shepherd is moderately long, very full and extra feathering on the underside. The lower legs and face are covered with short hair. Sometimes they have a little white on the chest, chin or toes. The Belgian Shepherd is a very smart and obedient dog. It needs to be part of the family and not locked up in a kennel. If socialized well with children, it can be very good with them, but care should be taken when introducing this dog with small pets. It can be rather dominant toward other dogs. But if you socialize them well, there shouldn’t be a problem. This breed is very watchful and protective, with strong territorial instincts. It should be trained and socialized from an early age. But the training shouldn’t be harsh or the will become uncooperative. The Belgian Shepherd is an excellent police and guard dog and they like to work.
