I'm currently training/rehabilitating 2 abused and rescued Tervurens for a client. Completely different situations. One is very shy and timid the other has anxiety through the roof and cannot do anything but pace constantly. I start working with them this week. It will be a challenge, but I'm honored to work with such an exceptional breed. I've worked with many Malinois, and loved the challenge.
No, leave it to the AKC to make it complicated, and to ruin a breed. Would NEVER put any stock in AKC breeders, just look at what they have done to the German Shepherds.
It took me a while to realise this name thing when I started to search videos on belgian shepherds. Never before had I even considered the possibility that somewhere they were not seen as one breed. Very confusing. :D I have 2 Tervurens myself.
Only American Kennel Club decided to recognize them as 4 different breeds. For me, it was confusing aswell. But it is not a big deal, for me, it is still 4 varieties of Belgian Shepherd 👍🏻
Yes. It's not a big deal for me either but it really took me a while(when I got my first Tervuren 13 years ago) to realise that they really separated them as different breeds. :P Now that I know that they do, I have no problem. :D
What is your favourite Belgian Shepherd? Tervuren, Malinois, Lakenois or Groenendale? ALL Belgian dog breeds video: ruclips.net/video/RgGuxE2IBZQ/видео.html
@@didimockets Yes. They become defensive of family and home with terrirtorial instincts that make them excellant guard dogs. This does unsurprisingly mean that they treat strangers with suspicion and are not suited to houses with children unless raised well or trained. They are also extremely agile even more agile than breeds such as German Shepherds or Malinois.
Hi rocadog I have a female Belgian sheepdog groenendael full black. But But I don't know how to distinguish the characteristics or differences between Belgian Sheepdog Groenendael showline and workingline dogs? What is the difference between showline groenendael and working line groenendael? Thanks rocadog
The main differences are in temperament and not in appearance. The working line typically have higher drive, energy level and more confident. Here is a perfect video explaining differences between show line and working line Tervuren, but it applies the same for Groenendael as well: ruclips.net/video/q7VCtU3wHmM/видео.html
@@Rocadog Rocadog I want to ask one more question. Why do I have a Belgian shepherd dog? Every time I take him for a walk in the morning, my dog always wants to go for a long walk (I use a leash every time I take him for a walk). I'm telling the truth, twice now my dog has gotten loose when I took him for a walk around the residential street where we live, it's good that twice my dog has come back to me. Why does my dog behave like that? (I usually take my dog for a walk around the street of the housing complex where we live at 5 in the morning). (This Belgian sheepdog groenendael dog belongs to me, every time I want to go to a small shop, or I go to Alfamart, Indomart to buy a drink/food, My dog is always screaming/crying
It can happen, that long hair puppies are born in Malinois litter. It is still the Belgian Shepherd, there is no difference other than the hair. It is allowed to cross between Belgian Shepherd varieties and occasionally puppies of different varieties can be born within the same “purebred” litter of one variety.
As a owner of a Tervuren and having had a Malinois as a kid. I think there is also a diffrence in bodybuild between them. Tervervuren and Groenendaeler have a more narrow or lean build and a have a VERY pointy muzzle. More like a greyhound but with a longer coat. When my Tervuren gets wet she looks just like one. The Malionois is more squared in the jaw and torso. Tho it has a lean build in general, it's nothing compamared to the other Belgians . And the Malinois genarally tends to get bigger than the other breeds too. I can't speak for the Laekenois. Tho I live in Belgium, I have never seen one in real life.
Not if you educate them well. I have a Malinois and he's the most adorable, energetic washing machine. He licks everyone. But I live in one of the safest places on earth, with no crime, I don't need a guard dog.
Dutch Shepherd? In Holland he calls the Dutch Malinois Shepherd, which is logical, he was raised in Belgium and he is of Belgian origin, this breed was not recognized in Belgium because of its color (a breeder raises dogs to earn money and a dog that is not of race has no value, the Dutch have some of the dog recovery, it's the same story with the white German shepherd, white is denied in the breed standard, the German white shepherd became American.Hollywood made a movie with a white man killer shepherd (I forgot the title of the movie) in a few days all white German shepherds had been killed, the American does not make the difference between a fiction film and reality Today, the white German shepherd has become the white Swiss Shepherd.
In the nineteenth century, sheepdogs were selected solely on their qualities at work. In the Belgian and Dutch plains, shepherds therefore used dogs whose dress could be "brindle" or "yellow", of similar morphology and character: strong, enduring and courageous. At the end of the 19th century, several enthusiasts were interested in the selection of their dogs, and this is how dogs identify in Belgium a breed they call the Campine Sheepdog. We find their traces at the first agricultural competition organized in Belgium: the sheepdog intelligence contest. Following this contest and the results recorded by the shepherds of Campines, the organizers decide on the nominated as Berger Nationals

In Sweden they say that they´re about the same but still not really. I´ve heard that Malinois is a bit sharper in temperament (in general). But I think you should pay attention to the comment below from a Dutch person. I don´t think it´s only color and coat differences.
I have heard the same thing, but i also heard that it is a rumor, because they are the one Belgian Shepherd that is trained most for military and police purposes and they are trained to be sharped. There are more opinions about this.
@@Rocadog Majority of K-9 breeds we use in the United States are the German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, and Belgian Malinois. The Malinois being my favorite and future owner. :) I just want to find a reputable breeder with healthy pups.
I believe it to be more about the practicality of the malinios' short coat that has made them the most popular for military and police work. Then when you add in the intensive breeding programs that have created popularity and prominence in k9 bite work and sports of the last 20 years or so, I'm sure that the average malinois is more aggressive and have more drive than the average of any other type of Belgian shepherd varieties. They might all be Belgian shepherds, but the malinois are clearly only bred for chasing and biting people. Not really a live stock shepherd IMO.
I m a first time owner, out of these four breeds, I want Tervuren as it looks a bit less energetic. Although I could exercise a dog for 45min-1hr, twice a day, I can’t really help with a 2 hour walk… also looking for a long coated as I live in Canada where winter originated 😢. Which dog will you suggest me?
As a owner of a Tervueren and having had a Malinois I have to say that there's no difference in energy. My Tervueren needs 3h a day of exercise or training and she 3y/o. The Tervueren have also a more fearful mindset in general than the Malinois. They need a lot of socialising! Don't get me wrong they are great dogs but if you are looking for a dog with less energy don't go look for that in a Belgian Shepard.
I have to disagree on the temperament standard. I had a Groen and now have a Groen/Border Collie mix. They are more herding focused than the malinois I have encountered, which, unfortunately, have a bit more of an aggressive police dog nature. Just my experience.
If you buy a Groenendael and Malinois from Belgium, you will see that they are the same dogs. Malinois from Belgium or the Netherlands have a very strong herding instinct.

why do you all use the french names malinois is mechelse lakenois is lakense
It's not French it's English
They are 5 you forgot the schipperke
They are not similar. The Malinois compared to the Laekenois is sharper. More nervous and less intelligent to take its own action
