Also known as Tervueren, Belgian Tervuren
A graceful, long-coated shepherd with plenty of brains and stamina
The Tervueren is the long-haired Belgian Shepherd in rich mahogany or fawn with a black mask. It is alert, intelligent and closely bonded to its owner, and it thrives on training, activity and a regular coat routine.

This breed needs about 120 minutes of activity a day. Around 7 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.
