Having met the <\/span>most popular French dog breeds<\/span><\/a><\/span>, we thought it was time to find out more about their Belgian neighbours. Here are six of the most popular dog breeds from Belgium, and a little bit about what makes each one of them so endearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belgian shepherd<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Belgian<\/p>\n

Great work ethic<\/b><\/p>\n

There are actually four breeds referred to as a \u201c<\/span>Belgian shepherd<\/span>\u201d, but the one that most commonly takes that title is the Groenendael. Named for the village in which they were first bred, the Groenendael is known for its distinctive black coat (which sheds twice a year).<\/span><\/p>\n

As the name suggests, they were originally bred as sheepdogs and their \u201cwork ethic\u201d is very much ingrained in the breed. They need a job or something similar to focus on, so they continue to work as shepherds but also excel in events like flyball and obedience. Groenendaels bond deeply with their families and can experience severe separation anxiety if left alone too long \u2013 even working Groenendaels can\u2019t sleep outside or in kennels away from their families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

Even in domestic settings, the herding instinct is so inbred that Groenendaels are prone to herding their families or other animals. If they aren\u2019t trained that this behaviour is unwanted, your Groenendael might nip at your heels, chase or circle you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belgian Malinois<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Belgian<\/p>\n

Herding up criminals<\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes classified as a variety of the <\/span>Belgian shepherd<\/span>, the <\/span>Belgian Malinois<\/span> actually looks more like the German shepherd, with a similarly striking, square build. Predictably, the Malinois was also originally bred as a sheepdog, but today uses its natural skills for protection and detection in different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Belgian Malinois <\/span>is fast becoming the dog of choice for law enforcement and security services, especially in the UK, as they\u2019re smaller, more agile and stronger than the traditional German shepherd. Police in North Wales even use their natural herding behaviour to apprehend suspects, with a sharp headbutt to the midriff! Meanwhile in the USA, the Secret Service uses <\/span>Belgian Malinois<\/span> to guard the grounds of the White House.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

Like many Belgian breeds, the Malinois is named for the city they originated from. But it\u2019s actually based on the French name for their hometown (Malines) rather than the Belgian name of Mechelen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belgian Tervuren<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Belgian<\/p>\n

The elegant sheepdog<\/b><\/p>\n

A third variety of <\/span>Belgian shepherd<\/span>, the <\/span>Belgian Tervuren <\/span>is also named for the area in Belgium it originated from. It\u2019s considered the most elegant of the Belgian sheepdogs, and with a thick double coat in varying shades of mahogany and black, it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/span><\/p>\n

While they\u2019re known as sheepdogs, the first <\/span>Belgian Tervuren<\/span>s had a very different job. The foundation couple of the breed were owned by a brewer, and the male pulled a beer cart during the day and guarded the brewery at night. These watchdog instincts have stayed with the breed ever since, and <\/span>Tervuren<\/span>s are used for police work in their native Belgium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

Their herding instinct has transferred successfully from the field to the showring \u2013 the first recorded champion of the American Kennel Club herding championship was a <\/span>Belgian Tervuren<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bouvier des Flandres<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Bouvier<\/p>\n

A gentle giant<\/b><\/p>\n

From herding sheep, we go to a dog bred for herding cattle \u2013 <\/span>bouvier des Flandres<\/span> literally means \u201ccow herder of Flanders\u201d. The breed originated at the Ter Duinen monastery, where the monks crossbred Irish wolfhounds and Scottish deerhounds with local farm dogs until a suitable cattle dog was obtained.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fully-grown <\/span>bouvier des Flandres<\/span> can stand almost 1 metre high and weigh a whopping 40kg (over 6 stone). But despite their large size, they can be gentle and docile with a pleasant nature, and their herd-protection instincts make them protective family pets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

The breed was almost wiped out during the First World War and the damage inflicted in the Flanders region. Fortunately, many <\/span>bouviers des Flandres<\/span> served in the Belgian army, and a military veterinarian was able to resurrect the breed from a few remaining dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brussels griffon<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Brussels<\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s favourite toy<\/b><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Brussels griffon<\/span> (or griffon Bruxellois) is a toy dog that has its origins in the ratters and stable dogs of Belgium\u2019s hansom cab drivers. These local breeds were crossed with imported toy dogs like pugs and King Charles spaniels, gradually developing into the wide-eyed, round-headed <\/span>Brussels griffon <\/span>we know today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The popularity of the <\/span>Brussels griffon<\/span> has gone up and down over the years. It reached perhaps its biggest peak at the end of the 19th century when Queen Marie Henriette began to breed and promote the Brussels griffon at home and abroad, but by the end of the Second World War there were almost none left in their native Belgium. Fortunately the vigilance of British breeders has ensured the <\/span>Brussels griffon<\/span> lives on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

The little wire-haired dog seen in van Eyck\u2019s \u201cThe Arnolfini Marriage\u201d is thought to be an early form of the <\/span>Brussels griffon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schipperke<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Schipperke\"<\/p>\n

Small dog, big personality<\/b><\/p>\n

This small Belgian breed is the subject of much debate \u2013 is the <\/span>Schipperke <\/span>a spitz or a miniature sheepdog? They date back to the 16th century, where they best known for guarding canal boats that travelled between Brussels and Antwerp. <\/span>Schipperkes <\/span>were also employed by tradesmen as ratters, and still have that drive to chase rodents and smaller animals today.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best examples of a big dog attitude in a small dog body, the <\/span>Schipperke <\/span>has a mischievous and stubborn temperament that has earned them nicknames like the “Tasmanian black devil” and the “little black devil”. They\u2019re headstrong and energetic dogs that often choose to do what suits them rather than following commands. All that energy can get directed in destructive ways, but with the right training and activities, a <\/span>Schipperke <\/span>can be a well-behaved friend for life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

In 1690, members of the shoemakers guild were invited to display their <\/span>Schipperkes (<\/span>and their hammered brass collars) in the Grand Palace of Brussels, marking one of the first \u201cspecialty\u201d dog shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any of these breeds in your family, we\u2019d love to hear your stories in the comments. And remember that we can create a unique recipe<\/a><\/span> of food for your dog, no matter what breed, with the right nutrition in the taste they love.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
