Belgian Tervuren Dog Breed
The Belgian Shepherd Dog (Tervueren) is a breed of dog,
sometimes classified as a variety of the Belgian Shepherd Dog rather than as a
separate breed. The Tervueren is recognized in the United States by the AKC and
the CKC under the name Belgian Tervuren, but has recently had an official name
change to Belgian Shepherd dog, Tervueren, in Canada.
www.PetsHealthSupplies.com is dedicated to the health
and well being of every breed of dog including, of course, the "Belgian Tervuren Dog Breed".
We also offer information about all kinds of
dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, fish and

Appearance
Like all Belgian Shepherds, the Tervueren is a medium-sized, hard-working,
square-proportioned dog in the sheepdog family. Males stand between 24 and 26
inches, and weigh approximately 65 lb. Females are finer and smaller. The
Tervueren is recognized by its thick double coat, generally mahogany with
varying degrees of black overlay, including a black mask. A small patch of white
on the chest is permissible, as well as white tips on toes. Tervueren may also
be sable or grey, but this may be penalized in the show ring in some countries
according to the standard of the registering body.
Temperament
Excellent family dogs, they have high energy and require a lot of exercise and
coat care. They excel at obedience, dog agility, and flyball.
