About Belgian Sheepdog
|
Country of Origin, History of the breed
The country of origin of the Belgian Sheepdog (the Groenendael) is
Belgium. The dogs developed from hardy working
dogs. No wonder why these dogs are found to
be so very efficient and energetic on the
fields. Nicholas Rose had developed the Groenendael
breed of dogs. He was a breeder from Groenendael
in Belgium. He had established the first Belgian
Sheepdog kennel with a pair of black sheepdogs
called Petite and Picard d’Uccle. It
was the progeny of this pair that turned out
to be the foundation stock of the Groenendael
breed.

 |
This is a highly intelligent and
protective breed and has been employed during the
two World Wars as a police and war dog and in drug
detection, search and rescue operations apart from
being used commonly for herding purposes. The dog
has also emerged as a wonderful family friend and
guardian. In fact the dog is now most often sought
for acting as a companion dog.

pet too. Its territorial and protective instincts
make it a watchful, alert and loyal pet of the family.

It needs also proper socialization training with
other dogs and non-canine pets of the family for
otherwise it tends to be rather dominant towards
these. The dog hates being locked up in a kennel
and should be made a part of the family.

to the dog it will stay fine in an apartment. The
Belgian Sheepdog stays moderately active indoors
and enjoys actively moving around in a yard of average
size. Though the dog can sleep outdoors yet it always

and straight heavy undercoat of medium length and
a dense undercoat. It sheds heavily during seasons-

on the outer ears are to be clipped.

breed. No major health concerns have been reported.
