Favorite Belgian Tervuren Comments

We have had our Tervuren for 13 years. We also had a Belgian Sheepdog which we had to put down at the age of 13 last year. They are wonderful dogs. Jasper is very protective. He is a natural herder and is suspicious of visitors. Once he gets to know them he never forgets them. Our next Dog will be another Belgian of some sort. I am sold on the breed. They are loving, energetic dogs who need alot of attention and exercize. Frisbee, and swimming was our answer.
