The Belgian Sheepdog is a medium to large-sized breed. A member of the herding group, this breed originated in Belgium as with other herding dogs from that area - the German Shepherd Dog, Briard, Dutch Shepherd Dog, and others. The Belgian Shepherd Dog weighs an average of 55-80 pounds, and stands 22-26 inches.
Coat
The Belgian Sheepdog is a double-coated breed with thick, and soft inner coat and longer, slightly rough outer coat. They have medium length coat with remarkable fringes on the tail and legs, with thicker and lengthier hair around the neck in the chest and ruff areas.
Their coats are solid black. Some white parts are allowed on the chest and tips of the back, feet, and toes.
Activity
As with other working dogs, the Belgian Sheepdog is used to an active life o utdoors. As such, they require a lot of exercise, such as long daily walks. They also love being off the leash in a secured yard/area.
Temperament
The Belgian Sheepdog is a placid and determined companion. With their high prey drive, they are inclined to chase pets, joggers, bikers, or anything that runs. They are very sensitive to touch. Socialization and obedience training should be done early to avoid puppies from growing up with a sharp temper. Overprotective, vigilant with strangers, cautious, and always on the move when not in control, makes this breed an excellent watchdog.
