About the Belgian Tervuren
The elegant, agile Belgian Tervuren is a bright and self-assured herding dog of medium size, known to be affectionate and possessive with loved ones. Lots of hard work and challenging play is heaven for this tireless, do-it-all dog.
The Belgian Tervuren is characterized by a straight and abundant coat, an elegant but muscular frame, a proudly carried head, an alert and intelligent demeanor, and an insatiable work drive. The Terv's coat furnishings, like the sporty 'collarette' around the neck, are more profuse on males, who run larger than females. 'Their intelligence and high activity level can be a challenge for the less creative individual who may not understand the breed's need to work,' warns one longtime owner. But don't get the idea that Tervs are grim, mechanical worker drones. In fact, Tervs take real delight in their ability to master any task, and owners say a mischievous sense of humor is at work whenever Tervs outsmart their beloved human.
