There are four types of Belgian Sheepherding dogs: the Groenendael,
the Malinois, the Tervuren, and the Lakenois. They are similar in body
and temperament, but differ in coat and region of origin.
The Malinois is alert and filled with energy. Many mistake this
breed for a German Shepherd, especially since the Malinois is
often used by police and military, but it is a completely different
breed.
A Malinois is intelligent, confident, and loves to work. Besides
being great working dogs, they are popular in obedience trials,
herding, sledding, and tracking.
The Tervuren is an elegant and
devoted dog that often excels in
obedience and agility competitions.
It is an outstanding herder that also
does a great job as therapy dog or
guide dog.
The Laekenois is clever, alert, and can be quite protective of
both family and property. They were developed to guard and
tend to flocks. As all working dogs they require ample exercise
and are happiest with a job to do.
