Belgian Tervuren

[Dimon]

Around the house and on the job, the Belgian Tervuren is a loyal, friendly and affectionate companion. In spite of its strong working-dog genes, the Tervuren craves companionship and family time above everything else. Highly protective of its family, property and territory, it is a passionate but calm watchdog. An alert and watchful companion to children, the Belgian Tervuren really flourishes when given a steady dose of good-natured play, cuddling and attention.

The Belgian Tervuren can live as long as 14 years. A relatively healthy breed, some Belgian Tervuren can develop skin allergies, eye problems and hip dysplasia. Its long, straight coat needs a good, daily brushing. The Belgian Tervuren likes to be busy. From an early age, keep it active and socially challenged.
