On 21 July, 1831 (since then Belgium’s national day) he reached Brussels and took the oath to observe the Constitution and the Laws of the Belgian People, thereby becoming the new Kingdom’s first Sovereign, under the name of Leopold I. The early days of his reign were fraught with difficulties.
Belgium’s neutrality, on the other hand, was guaranteed by the signing powers, with the commitment to uphold it.
His wisdom and prestige — he was Queen Victoria’s uncle — deserved him the confidence of the United States, England, Brazil, and Spain, who consulted him as a referee in their difficulties, and this enlarged Belgium’s prestige.

 Cynology in Belgium
However, in Belgium, the name ‘Saint-Hubert’ seems to be the best name, simply because there already exists a Kennel Club in Belgium, which, in fact, is a dissident national organisation and not a member of the FCI.
Belgium is a small country, nevertheless the Belgian fanciers may be proud of their 10 national breeds or 14 different ‘dog versions’ when including the varieties.
In Belgium, the Malinois (short hair, fawn with fl overlay and fl mask) is the most popular variety, followed by the Tervueren (long hair, fawn colour with fl overlay and fl mask), the Groenendael (long hair, solid fl) and the Laekenois (rough hair, fawn with traces of fl overlay).

 Louis XVI of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On May 16, 1770, he married Marie Antoinette, daughter of Francis I of Austria and Empress Maria Theresa, a Habsburg.
The revolution's principles of popular sovereignty, though central to democratic principles of later eras, marked a decisive break from the absolute monarchical principle of throne and altar that was at the heart of contemporary governance.
On June 21, 1791, Louis attempted to flee secretly from Paris to modern-day Belgium (then part of the Austrian Empire) with his family in the hope of forcing a moderate swing in the revolution than was deemed possible in radical Paris.

 We, the People, in Quest of Ourselves
Born in 1835, of Leopold I of Belgium and Princess Louise, daughter of Louis Philippe, citizen King of the French, Louis Philippe Marie Victor received the education and training customarily given heir presumptive.
He set up the policy of England as the model for Belgium; and from the moment he became King in December of 1865 he has never ceased to urge the doctrine of colonization and extension of trade, through a merchant marine and through sending samples of Belgium manufacture to all parts of the world.
The ruling house of Belgium was not a wealthy one when Leopold came to the throne, and his early speculative ventures did not all pan out well; but in 1879 Stanley went to Africa under his patronage.

 Bonchien - Regarding the Schipperke
During my two trips to Belgium, I visited Schipperke kennels and met the President and Secretary of the Schipperkes Club from whom I acquired what is known about the breed.
In Belgium, 3 sizes of Schipperkes are recognized, though not separate breeds, as are the Shetland Sheep Dog and the Collie.
It seems a mistake to limit the dog to an invariable 12 pounds (in the United States the dogs are inclined to be very much larger for some reason) as it depends on the purpose for which the dog is wanted what size he should be.

Princess Louise of Belgium had a hard childhood like her younger sister Stéphanie, both were submitted to the cold treatment of their father, King Leopold II, and the somewhat distant and too conventional behaviour of their mother, Queen Marie-Henritte.
The Queen of the Belgians proposes to meet baron Dory who visitted then the Queen in Belgium, in Ostende, far from Brussels so that Leopold II could not know about it(but he would find out the same way).
The baron promised the Queen he would not go on his affair with Louise, and Marie-Henriette was even moved by his gentlemanlike and polite behaviour...but he would re-start the affair with Louise and by the first time Marie-Henriette said Louise was mad and she should be put into a mad house...

 The Griffon Bruxellois in History
In Belgium it was only the members of the Societé Royal de St. Hubert (The Belgian Kennel Club) who had affixes and this was expensive.
The Griffon was first registered under 'Foreign Dog', until the name Griffon Bruxellois was entered in 1899, and the numbers increased year on year until World War I. During this time, breeding was difficult and the numbers (both in UK and across Europe) went into decline.
Queen Astrid, a later Queen of Belgium, also loved the breed and it is possibly due to her personal interest and breeding programme that Griffons survived in Belgium during World War I. Pictured left, the last photograph taken of Queen Marie Henriette of Belgium, 1902.

The breed didn't catch the attention of the upper classes until the mid-1800s; for most of the rest of the century, the Schipperke was virtually the only house dog in Belgium.
In 1885, Queen Marie Henriette, wife of Leopold II of Belgium, saw a Schipperke at a Brussels show ad bought it, and the breed became well-known in royal circles.
