Tervuren!


Belgian Tervuren are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The Belgian Tervuren has a squarely shaped appearance to the body."
#2. "The black lips are tight."
#3. "The medium sized, almond-shaped eyes are dark brown."
#4. "The erect ears are triangle in shape with the height equal to the width."
#5. "The chest is deep, reaching the elbows."
#6. "The legs are straight and parallel and vertical to the ground."
#7. "The feet are cat-like in shape."
#8. "The tail is strong at the base with the bone reaching to the hock."
#9. "The double coat is weather resistant with long, abundant, close-fitting guard hairs. The overall length of the harsh coat is medium to long with the hair on the head, legs and outer surface of the ears being shorter. The undercoat is dense and the outer coat is straight with black tips. Males have a mane of hair around the neck that is not as prominent as females... There is longer hair fringing down the back and front legs with abundant hair on the tail. Coat colors include rick fawn to russet mahogany, or shades of gray with black tips. The chest, toes and chin may have some white. The coat usually darkens as the dog gets older."

#13. "The Belgian Tervuren needs an experienced master who is firm, but not heavy handed."
#14. "If you are harsh or overbearing they will become uncooperative."
#15. "Consistent rules must be set and made clear."
#16. "This breed is instinctively protective so it should be trained and socialized very well from an early age. Puppies should be socialized right from birth."
#17. "Good for working competition obedience."

#21. "Belgian Tervuren are good with children if socialized well with them."

#23. "The Tervuren has high energy, with a high mental capacity, and are quick to comprehend."
#24. "Take care when introducing this dog with small non-canine pets. They can be rather dominant with other dogs and need an owner who can communicate to the dog that dominance is an unwanted behavior. Provided they are correctly socialized with cats and other pets, they should not present any problems."

#30. "Litter Size: Average 6-10 puppies."
