	Belgian Shepherd Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All are hard-working, intelligent dogs of the same general size and temperament.
		Belgian Shepherds are bred to be highly intelligent, alert and sensitive to everything going on around them, and to develop extremely strong relationship bonds.
		Belgian shepherds like to please, and can over-react badly to "negative" (punishment or deterrence based) training, so they should as a rule be clicker- or reward-trained only.

	The Belgian Shepherd Dog
		The Belgian Shepherd Breed of dogs are descendants of these early herding dogs of Europe and have retained the functional construction and versatility of those dogs.
		Originally little emphasis was placed on the look of the dogs and it was only during the late 1800’s that the breed was officially recognised and that standards were formulated and that the breed was classified into 4 varieties according to their coat type and colour.
		The Belgian Shepherd is an alert dog with a great deal of presence and many people who also own other breeds openly admit that there is something ‘special’ in the type of ‘feedback’ that they get from their ‘Belgian’.
