About Belgian Sheepdogs
The Belgian Shepherd is a true working dog. Developed in Belgium in the late 1800's, this breed is highly intelligent and excels at activities like obedience, search and rescue, herding and tracking. Belgian Shepherds are strong, sensitive and active, and make great watchdogs as they tend to be protective of their loved ones. They thrive when given plenty of exercise and a job to do.
