Belgian Shepherd's

[Katja]

Hi!

Since we managed to wake up couple owners with this breed maybe it is best to open one thread with belgians so we don't post into introductions with all kind of belgian shepherd stuff.

So for begining some pics so those who don't know them get a little idea.

Tervuren (Tervueren in europe) in this case is Raider du Cadre Noir at age 1 year(my terv):

Malinois (on pic is my Blueberry at age of 1 year)

Groenendael (in usa called Belgian Sheepdog on picture is Ebontide Nexus for Lykos JW) :

And last Laekenois (I don't think it is recognised by AKC yet, on picture is Yentl van de Schranshoeve).

This are pictures, I am sure owners will fire away.

Bye, Katja

They are the "ugliest" of belgian shepherds at least that is what many think when they see them for first time but actually they grow on you very fast.. it all depends what kind of fur you like.

Breeder in Netherlands (Kennel Longfields http://www.laekenseherder.nl/) really has 2 very beautifull girls.. Here are couple pictures..
