The Belgian Sheepdog (Groenendael) is a highly intelligent, loyal, and protective breed, originally bred for herding livestock and now commonly used in police, military, and service work. Their long-haired double coat sheds heavily year-round, with seasonal shedding peaks, requiring regular grooming. Training is easy, as they are highly intelligent, obedient, and eager to work, but they require firm, consistent training and plenty of mental stimulation. With their high energy levels, they need daily exercise, training, and interactive play to stay well-balanced.
The Belgian Sheepdog, also known as the Belgian Shepherd, is a medium-sized herding breed originating from Belgium. Its history dates back to the late 19th century when efforts were made to standardize the various shepherd dogs found in the region.
