Back to list of breeds

The Belgian Tervuren, also known as the Tervuren or the Chien de Berger Belge, is one of the Belgium shepherds. It is a medium sized dog breed that grows to be between 22 and 26 inches, and it usually weighs around 62-65 pounds. It has a long, thick coat that is variegated with shades of red, gray, black, and fawn. Masking and black overlays are also common for the Belgian Tervuren’s coat.

This dog is a very obedient, intelligent, and loyal animal. When properly trained they can be a great family pet. However, their protective nature can make them aggressive towards other children, animals, and strangers. They make a great watch dog, however, they will typically not attack without provocation.

To care for this dog you will need to brush their coat each week. Their grooming requirements will increase dramatically while they are shedding. During this time you will need to brush them daily and pluck hair clumps from their coat. They are a working dog so they will need daily exercise and a lot of it. Obedience training and a fenced yard are also required for this breed. Their natural herding behavior makes them prone to chase cars and people. This breed is known for its relatively good health and its lack of hereditary illnesses and disorders. However, some still are subject to epilepsy and joint issues.
