BELGIAN SHEEPDOG
History - The Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren, and Belgian Malinois began as three local variations of one breed, which was know as the Belgian Shepherd or Continental Shepherd. This is a working farm dog expected to herd and guard. It was employed as a Police dog in America by 1893. They were continued to be used as sentry dogs, messengers and draft dogs. In 1859, the three Belgian Shepherd breeds were divided into separate breeds, with the Groenendael subsequently know as the Belgian Sheepdog.
Temperament - It is playful, alert, watchful, and protective, a tough, independen, and intense dog. It can be aggressive toward other dogs and animals. It is protective of its home and family.
