Belgium's topography and climate, ideal for animal husbandry, have also become one of the world's largest exporters of milk chocolate. Therefore, in the past, Farmers in Belgium focused on the breeding of cattle and the breeding of sheepdogs. At that time, the name Belgian Shepherd could not only refer to a kind of dog, but may include several kinds of dogs, which are not different except for the color, texture and length of the hair. At the American Kennel Association, these dogs are considered to be of different breeds. Today will be the Belgian Shepherd, as long as it is black long haired this handsome guy.
The Belgian Shepherd is a brick and moves wherever it is needed. On the farm pasture, it is a good helper for the owner, helping to watch over the cattle and sheep, taking them out for a walk, and then bringing them back to the fence when the time comes. But by the beginning of the 20th century, Paris and New York also began to use these smart and easy-to-train dogs as police dogs, and their dark eyes glowed with their own strong deterrent power. Because of their excellent sense of smell, they also show up at customs airports to help catch people who commit smuggling crimes. During World War I, they also went to war part-time, helping to deliver letters and tow ambulances. In World War II, he went directly to the battlefield as a military dog.
Later, the Belgian Shepherd Club in the United States, this dog's reputation is even greater, holding positions ranging from service dogs, police dogs, search and rescue dogs, display dogs, to loyal companion pet dogs.

As working dogs, they are a good helper for people. But as pet dogs, some owners may not be able to eat. It is easier for foreign owners to raise Belgian Shepherds, mainly because they have a large yard at home. Even if you don't take your dog out for a walk, he can enjoy himself in the yard and satisfy his own exercise. But if you want to have a Belgian Shepherd, you have to consider whether you have time and energy, take the dog out for a walk for at least 2 hours a day, to meet their exercise. If it can't be satisfied, the dog may be demolished at home because of high energy. Its super sniffing ability, when demolishing the house, it also has to turn out all the things that are hidden deeply. Raising a Belgian Shepherd really takes a lot of time to meet its amount of exercise.
Because the hair is relatively long, it also needs to be combed by the owner frequently to keep the hair dark and shiny. And black hair is easy to hide dirty things and parasites, more frequent grooming care, in order to detect problems earlier.
In addition, Belgian Shepherds are more sensitive to anesthesia, and it is very important to pay attention to the prevention of various diseases, otherwise it will be troublesome to wait until anesthesia surgery is required.
Although the Belgian Shepherd is very handsome, if you don't have time and energy to take care of them, don't force it, just look at it.
