- Listed in the Top
10 least popular breeds, Belgian Sheepdog
breeders are as possessive as the dogs they breed and are not at all
affected.
- With this kind of
attitude, it is but just natural that the gene
pool becomes limited not without
repercussions.
- The Belgian Sheepdog is
not for less experienced dog owners.
The breed requires special handling, more so with breeding which requires a
thorough understanding of genetic make-up.
- Sought after, the
Belgian varieties excel in protection and
guard work because of trainability, their
strong natural instinct to protect, guard coupled by their superior
intelligence.
- They have very keen
observation, extra-sensory perception as in strong
scenting and hearing abilities; and their
quick
and agile movements make them more than
perfect to be companions ready to defend their masters.
- Alas! They
are not a dog for everyone.
They
require special handling and advised not to
be left without human companionship for them
to reach their full potential.
