In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Belgian Tervuren that you might not know.
A Quick Overview:
Group: Herding Dogs
Weight: 40 to 70 pounds
Height: 21 to 26 inches tall at the shoulder
Life Expectancy: 10 to 12 years
The Terv is a charmer, noted for his intelligence, elegance, alertness, and sense of humor. He stands his ground in the face of strangers, sure of his ability to protect his people and property. With his own family, he's affectionate and demanding of their time and attention. This is a dog who loves to be doing things with you.
And he can do a lot of things. The Terv isn't just a herding dog anymore. He does police work, is an accomplished assistance dog and therapy dog, and participates in any number of dog sports, from herding - natch! - to agility, obedience, sledding (yes, sledding), and tracking. The breed standard - the written description of how a dog should look and act - says a Tervuren is usually in motion when not under command. Take that description to heart if you are considering a Terv!
The Belgian Tervuren is not typically recommended for people who are inexperienced with dogs. His temperament and activity level can be overwhelming to people who haven't had a working dog before. Herding dogs such as the Tervuren are hard-wired to chase after a flock of sheep all day long. That instinct doesn't disappear just because they're living in a family home instead. The Terv requires a good hour of exercise each day and enough mental stimulation to keep him from being bored. If he's left to his own devices all day, he's likely to create his own entertainment - generally something you won't like that will be expensive to repair - or to develop separation anxiety.

i am at my third Tervuerense Herder. She runs 40 km and comes with me when i cycle the highest mountains in the neighboorhood possible. She has no issues with babies and only has a good heart. But it is a type you may never punish if you want to reach the highest level. She never walks with a leash, even not in Sofia between all traffic. And my dog… trains other dogs with behaviour problems by giving the good example. She can talk to horses and much other things i never knew or will never know. They are much smarter and stronger than i am! +je

i had a terv. he was full of sophisticated goofiness. all in all a pretty gentle dog, that could get loud with strangers. The very first time he was let loose in a field with sheep, no training, brought the sheep to to us one by one. no muzzle and no injuries to anyone. Frisbie...dont get him started. he would run until he passed out. Stomach cancer was the end. blocked the stomach so food couldnt enter. after 3 days of no food i had to call the vet to the house. and even on that last day, 2 hrs of frisbie time. had that drive til the very end. loved that dog.

After owning my first Tervie, I will never own another breed. His great grandfather was imported from Austria many years ago, his dad is an AKC national champion, but I just got a gorgeous looking goofball. To those looking to own one, he absolutely loves children, he is protective of his yard against people and animals he doesn’t know, but he just has an intimidating bark and stands his ground until he knows you, he’s energetic and ready to go whenever you want him to be, otherwise he’s basically a couch potato. They have sensitive stomachs - I work for Blue Buffalo and get free food, but only feed him PurinaOne ProPlan - the oil coating General Mills puts on their food is disruptive to my dog (plus his mother siblings) stomach. My dog is always by my side no matter where I am when I’m home. I’ve had friends with Shepards growing up, I always loved the aesthetics of the German/Belgians, but I never thought I’d ever own one. I moved into a new neighborhood and my neighbor across the street had a tervie, we met with them and they sent us to their breeder. They’re one of the sweetest, best, and most loyal dogs you’ll ever meet. I hope this helps anyone looking. I’d never give my dog up for anything.

my dogs eat everything including bread, banitsa, lots of milk and chocolate… so against all rules. Their preference, like just now, is a full fried chicken for each of them both. They are, just like me (or is it vice versa, me like her?) tolerant and always ready for a run, cycling trip, mountain road, adventure or… simply for a long hugging session. And they are not jealous of my girlfriends when i hug them! +je

Was your dog always protective or did you have to train him to be this way? My dog is the world's most gentle angel. No one is ever afraid of him & he is huge. He calmly walks up to them and smiles. I can't get him to bark at strangers, He barks for treats. What can I do to get him to bark when someone comes to the door? He's a rescue. I think someone abused him & trained [beat} him not to bark.

@foxhill1212 2 жыл бұрын

@@mkmason2002 - he is very social and wants to play with everyone, he especially loves children, but he doesn’t realize how big he is so he can be a little too rough. He naturally developed his “defense barking” on his own, if we are in the back yard he will bark at anyone who gets too close to the fence. We didn’t train him to do anything, it seems like it was just bred into him to be protective of his family and property, I don’t know if he would ever actually bite somebody, but his bark is intimidating enough along with his size so nobody even tries to get too close. Plus we only leave him outside for small periods of time by himself, for safety mostly, a couple people in a neighborhood a few miles north of my house had their dogs poisoned while they were in the backyard.

My Wife & I have a Tervuren/Collie mix, Bucky. He was a rescue, found completely by accident by a rescue group. He, his Mom & 4 littermates were living in the Cali desert. Given the behavior of his Mom, she was likely a wild dog or abandoned. Bucky was not domesticated in the slightest when we got him. He was likely 8-10 weeks old. We are very glad that *we* got him, as he was utterly gorgeous & for sure someone would have gotten him just because of that, then found out how much trouble he was & returned him. This could have given him a reputation as a 'bad dog' and relegated him to a life in shelters. As it was, though we are very experienced dog owners, Bucky was by far, the most difficult dog we've ever trained. We first had to domesticate him, which took nearly a year. However, now at about 3 years old, he's a very good boy. He's also the smartest dog we've ever seen. We have a Border Collie, Elly, who is smart for even a BC, but Bucky is smarter still. However, though Elly is being trained as a Search & Rescue dog, Bucky will never do anything like that. Not because he can't, but because he doesn't *want* to. ^_^ We don't use negative training & positive training has severe limits with Bucky. He essentially has the personality of your average housecat. A 120lb housecat! And no, he's not fat, just *huge*. The only things he is devoted to are us, his Pack and guarding. He & his littermates must have had some bad experiences with Coyotes in the wild, because he does and always has, lose his crap whenever they are even smellable. He is normally extremely gentle, but is terrifyingly fierce when Coyotes are around. He's also very emotionally sensitive, which isn't always a good thing. Back in early 2020, his DoggyMom, Maya (The Husky in my profile Pic), passed away. Ever since then, Bucky cries every morning when my Wife takes his brother, Jack, out for a walk. Every. Day. Clearly he's terrified that my Wife will come back & Jack won't be there! Thankfully I'm able to calm him by sitting with him, but it's heartbreaking that he's smart enough to never forget his Mommy, but sad his Reasoning can't overcome his emotional fear. But, even if he never forgets, I'll always try to be his 'Reasoning', and reassure him that my Wife & Jack will return.

Thank you for taking him in and keeping him! I know how difficult they can be. My first was chained to a tree for 5 years & fed table scraps & garbage. Lots of medical issues but he had the best vet care & lived to be almost 15. Of the 3 I have now, 2 older ones are rehomes from great breeders. Our 3 yr old boy was pulled from a puppy mill where he spent 18 months in a cage with little food & water. We adopted him from Tervuren Rescue when he was 2 yrs old & had a lot of issues. First few months were a challenge but he turned out to be a Prince of a dog. It took him about a year to overcome most of his irrational fears. He will be 4 yrs old in April & was my Mothers Day "present" in 2020, the day we brought him home. Best decision ever!

I got an ID test for my dog who looks exactly like this. He was 30% German Shepherd and 70% Belgian Malinois. He’s fluffing tough all the time. He’s got major fur. I think the test was wrong, he looks EXACTLY like these Turverin’s. A neighbor asked me today if he was a Turverin. He looks nothing like a Malinois, but that’s what I told her he was because of the test results. Maybe they are putting all Belgian’s into one group?

@foxhill1212 2 жыл бұрын

It’s probably a Tervy- I get asked all the time if he’s a GSD or a fluffy malinois. My fiancée is a dog groomer and she had never seen one before we met my new neighbors dog.

From what I've researched thus far, the Belgian Herder breed has 4 different variations, predominantly a difference in coat. Two are long hair. Two are short hair. A Tervuren is a long hair of any color except black. If it is black, then it is a Groenendael. The Malinois is one of the short hair varieties. The other short hair is the less common Laekenois which has a very wavy coat. Over time, the varieties are becoming increasingly distinctive in temperament and physical characteristics but are not yet 4 distinct dog breeds. I suspect your dog is 70% Belgian herd dog of the Tervuren variety.

These dogs are extremely smart. Our Belgian Miles taught himself to be potty trained by watching our mutt. But as a puppy they will tear up everything, bc he ate the bottom of my daughter’s outdoor playground and ate through the outside back door to our house. But other than that, very loving and extremely loyal dog. 💯

My mums best friend had been breeding and showing them for over thirty years. We campaigned some of her pups for her with the last one being our cream Trev Shelly who passed roughly 12 years ago. She was one of the best dogs we’ve ever had, and she was so protective of me and my brother. Her job when not showing was to protect our chickens and her yard/house. Since Shelly passed my Mum have stuck with our other favourite breed the Shetland sheepdog as her friend no longer breeds and we will only get a term through a registered and ethical breeder. I do miss having one though.

Ce chien est très sensible intelligent attaché à son maître attentif attentionné Il a besoin d'une activité quotidienne et analyse parfaitement dans quel état nous sommes, moral, santé. Le mien va avoir 9 ans et nous sortons en forêt tous les jours 2x par jour Il ne demande que cela également et se lever de bonne heure pour une petite sortie dans le jardin quelle que soit la saison est un plaisir pour chacun tous les matins Je suis attentif à des signes de fatigue quant à son activité (dos ,arrière train) il n'est pas en surpoids mais il faut le canaliser car il est prêt à tout donner pour jouer. Et je sais par expérience qu'il faut ménager nos efforts.....j'ai 66 ans. C'est vraiment la meilleure idée d'avoir choisi ce chien ♥️♥️👍👍 Mais je crois que le chien ,en général ,est le meilleur ami de l'homme. C'est aussi son éducation et son respect qui y contribuent

@convidtruthshallout 2 жыл бұрын

I would guess because my Belgian turv is medium size, currently 6 months old, barks at people he doesn’t know, or who come to the door. He’s always active, needs constant stimulation. Has at least two hours of free running walking per day plus games, plus training! A full time job! If I or a family member doesn’t‘entertain’ him he becomes ‘naughty’ grabbing and running off with shoes, items of clothing etc. If I’m busy and cannot watch him he goes in his grate for a down time!

The training not to bark is a difficult one. The first three months you have to hug them whenever they bark before they get used to it. My Rajna only barks now to protect the cars or house (it is their car and their house!) or when somebody in uniform or behaves weird… Hugging always stops her immediately. At the vet, she does not give an inch when injected, they can stand a lot of pain like me but that is because we are trained to run and fall in the mountains of Bulgaria. She almost never needs a leash. +je
