Belgian Sheepdog owners. Do you just love them. I have been blessed for 40 years. Absolutely love the breed?

I have had three Belgians, 2 Grons and 1 Turv, I have still got 2 of them and think that they are great fun. The oldest is 10 and a real character, he opens all the doors in our house so is always raiding bins. The youngest (Turv) is 3 and loves our kids, she goes on the trampoline with them and runs with them when they ride their bikes over a field.

I think that they should only be owned by experienced dog people as they need so much socializing at an early age. But given the right training and socialization they are the perfect (although a little cheeky) pet.

i loved my belgian. i got her when she was about 8 weeks old, and i had her until she was 15. i had to put her down about 4 years ago because she developed mylophithy and couldnt walk anymore. it was really sad because she was still young and active other than that. :(
but she was my sister and we had a special bond. we grew up together and she always protected me. i will miss her always.

i have one and shes the best!
