Belgian Tervuren

The Belgian Tervuren is a smart, energetic herding dog with a medium size and straight, thick coat. They are affectionate with family but can be possessive. Known for their intelligence, they love activities and challenges, requiring lots of mental and physical stimulation. Tervurens are playful and enjoy outsmarting their owners. However, they can be a handful for those who don't understand their need for work and high activity. They need an owner who can keep up with their energy levels.
