History

The Belgian Shepherd Tervuerense is one of the four varieties into which the Belgian Shepherd. The name of Tervueren is due to the Belgian city of Tervuren where was selected.

At the end of the 19th century, in Belgium there was a large number of herding dogs whose type was heterogeneous and their coats were of great diversity. In order to put order into this situation, some cinรณfilos (cinรณgrafos) enthusiasts formed a group led by Professor A. Reul, the school of veterinary medicine of Cureghem, who can be considered as a true pioneer and founder of the race.

The Belgian Shepherd officially born as a race between 1891 and 1897. The 29 in September of 1891, the โ€œBelgian Shepherd Dog Clubโ€ is founded in Brussels and that same year, the 15 November, Professor A.. Reul manages to gather in Cureghem, 117 dogs, allowing you to carry out a census and form a group with the best copies. In the following years becomes a real selection, making an extreme inbreeding on some stallions.

The 3 in April of 1892, the "Dog Club" Belgian Shepherdโ€ drafted a first well-detailed standard of the breed. Was admitted a single race, with three varieties of hair. In any case, at that time, the Belgian Shepherd was only a dog of humble people and therefore a breed that still lacked prestige. Therefore, is not until 1901 that the first Belgian Shepherds were registered in the Book of Origins of the Sociรฉtรฉ Rรณyale Saint Hubert (L.O.S.H.).

In the course of the next few years, the leaders of the cinephile fans Belgian Shepherd they tenaciously devoted themselves to unify the type and correct the defects. We can affirm that towards the 1910 the type and character of the Belgian Shepherd they were already established.

Through the history of Belgian Shepherd, the issue of the different varieties and accepted colors has given rise to many controversies. On the other hand, As far as morphology is concerned, the character and fitness to work, There has never been any disagreement.

Physical characteristics

According to the classification scheme of the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale, It's four different from same breed varieties. Other organizations such as American Kennel Club they only recognize the Groenendael under the name of Belgian Shepherd. The cynological organizations of Australia and New Zealand classify them as four different breeds.

But, in many countries like Canada, Great Britain, Puerto Rico, Mexico and South Africa, among others, using the classification of the CRF, recognizing them as four varieties of the same species.

From the middle ages are known, only that in those times there were different varieties classified solely by their function and not so much by their morphology since the interest in their breeding was based on the search for an efficient breed for grazing.

Along with the Malinois, Groenendael and the Tervueren shares the same standard and differs only in the type, length and color of hair, It is long in the body except the face is where short, carborane Brown, supports a small white patch on the chest and should be darker mask.

Like all Belgian Shepherd, the Tervuren is a medium sized dog, square and proportionate body belonging to the family of herding dogs. Males measure about 62 cm to the cross, and weigh, approximately between, 25 and 30 kg. Females are lighter and proportions minor measuring around 58 cm to cross and weighing approximately 20 to 25 kg.

He is recognized by his double and bulk the mantle, generally brownish with some degrees and shadow in black, including his characteristic black mask. A small white spot is permitted, as well as nails and bearings.

You need to be brushing regularly to remove the dead hairs, but in general, his mantle of hair does not tend to return woolly. A well-maintained fur will be somewhat hard to the touch, falling weight and staying glued to the body of the animal (Unlike, for example, the hair of a Samoyed).

Naturally it will tend to lose hair, but if it is not removed it could hang on the hind limbs, and form knots.

The Tervueren, can be - also- of color Sable or grey, but it may be penalized in beauty competitions in some countries according to the standard that is handled. Though, Obviously, in tests of utility and work will not color that is judged to be but its suitability.

Such activities can go from: tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, Save and defense, detecting bombs and drugs, going to sports like him Schutzhund and end up using it for search and rescue of people and victims in accidents and avalanches.

as pets, the Tervueren, they are loyal and form strong ties with his family, what they seek to defend at all costs of strangers and dangers to humans who loves.

Dogs are very observers and attentive to any changes in their environment, This makes them excellent animal to monitor. Some specimens may be nervous, This will depend on the aging, Genetics and the kind of experiences that have been submitted at an early age, That is why it is very important to give them adequate socialization from puppies and expose them to the greatest amount of stimuli., everyday situations and people.

The Dutch bulldog can be silver or soft apricot with a black mask, in both cases it presents a black stripe that goes from head to tail; It can also be pure black or white which is the more scarce and expensive of all.

It measures each 30 cm to cross and weighs between 6 and 8 kg. His confident nature, docile and friendly makes the Pug an appreciated companion animal. The Pug is particularly a dog "with a sense of humor", exhibiting very human facial expressions given its bone structure. Due to its striking appearance, some people tend to think that the characteristics of the Dutch bulldog are the result of genetic manipulation or inbreeding. But, the characteristics of the Pug are similar in the last five hundred years, period in which Europeans began it importing from China.

The tail of the Dutch bulldog It has a characteristic spiral or letter "Q" shape. This variation in the way of the tail is due to the vertebrae in this portion of the column are actually hemivertebra. In some few puppies, This alteration of the shape can be extended to the rest of the column and the animal presents spina bifida.. The spine of the animal must feel before purchasing to avoid choosing a sick puppy. An animal that suffers from this malformation should not be reproduced in order to not pass this problem to their offspring.

Given the shape of the skull, the eyes of the Dutch bulldog have a bouncy and lively appearance. To find the eyes located above, they are more exposed to friction with plants and objects to the eyes of other animals, and it is advisable to take them to the vet as soon as possible if they have an injury.

The Dutch bulldog although it is a short-haired dog, tends to constantly pelechar, so his tenure is not recommended for persons allergic or asthmatic. They have a characteristic pungent odor that may bother some people, but that decreases a bath every couple of weeks.

The biggest health problem presented by the Dutch bulldog is one that is completely preventable and treatable, and that depends entirely of the OWNER. This disease is the OBESITY. A Carlin receiving proper care can live more than fourteen years, Although on average they tend to live around ten.

One 1% of puppies can develop a degenerative neurological disease called Pug Encephalitis (or tap for its acronym in English). This disease is lethal and has no known cure. For this reason dogs must not be reproduced within the two years, in order to not transmit the gene to their offspring. Last year of life is very unlikely to reach Carlin present this disease.

The Dutch bulldog they are not aggressive animals. Like any dog, they can bite, but it is very rare that this happens without the animal mistreatment. The Dutch bulldog They live up to their motto "multum in parvoยป and are not intimidated by larger breed dogs, which you can get into trouble.

Before humans, the Dutch bulldog tend to be playful and seek interaction. However can be apprehensive to strangers, and with their barking to announce the presence of unknown people. Although its size are not guard dogs, If they are good "alert dogs".

Its solid structure makes they tolerate well the game with children and adults, and its particularly hard head can cause bumps and falls in young children and older adults.

The Dutch bulldog It's a small animal, and although strong, requires very little food. But, being a pet, owners tend to supercharge them and share their food with them. This must not be.
