(Laekenois, Groenendael, Malinois, Tervuren)

Excerpt from the UKC Standard...

..........The Belgian Shepherd Dog was developed in Belgium as a herding dog to work sheep. He is enthusiastic and remarkably quick. He shows a natural tendency to be in motion. The Belgian was developed for endurance. He must be able to move and tend the flock all day and to guard it from all invaders. In addition to his inborn ability as guardian of the flocks, he is an exceptional watchdog and a tenacious and brave defender of his master and family. He is vigilant, and highly responsive to his owner's direction. He is alert, intelligent and inquisitive. While he is firmly loyal to those he knows and loves, he typically exhibits reserve with strangers..........

In the USA, they are considered 4 separate breeds...Belgian Tervuren, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheepdog (Groenendael) and Belgian Laekenois. The Laekenois is the only one not currently recognized by the AKC. Every where else in the world, they are one breed with 4 varieties.
