- 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.
