I have had two Belgian Sheepdogs, currently have one living, and one Belgian Tervuren. Pretty amazing dogs. These are the long coat variants of the Malinois and are better suited for here in the high Colorado Rockies. Mine have guarded the home against large black bears on many occasions.

I’ve been working Belgian sheepdogs for years. You always know where they live, the carpet is black.
They are my pick of all of the working bite dogs but they shed worse than any dogs I’ve ever had on a leash.

So impressive!! I didn’t know dogs could do that!

Will this be as good a house dog as my standard poodle? LOL

My son had a Teruvian. Beautiful elegant animal. Gentle, and really super attached to him. He was devastated when he had her age related suffering required that she be euthanized.

The Malinois looks exactly like a dog that I was raised with from birth. My relatives didn’t know what breed he was and guessed that he was some kind of boxer mix with a long nose and un-cropped tail. He seemed to be a little taller and longer than most boxers, too. He liked to stand close enough to be touching me much of the time, when I played outdoors as a kid.

He wasn’t a problem with friends or neighbors at all, but he didn’t like mean dogs. He stayed with my grandpa, when we moved away. Grandpa loved that dog. There, the dog whipped a couple of bulldogs of some kind in grandpa’s yard and was run over by a train while chasing them across tracks another time, when he was 9.
