CLEAR ALLThe Belgian Shepherd Tervueren is considered to be the most elegant of the four Belgian Shepherd varieties, which also include the Malinois, the Laekenois, and the Groenendael. They are known to be athletic, intelligent, and versatile working dogs with plenty of stamina. This breed’s origin may have been as a pastoral dog, but today, they are also utilised for rescue work, police work, show ring competitions, obedience and agility courses, and as devoted canine companions. As a result, they are best suited to active families that have plenty of time to devote to their unique and intense needs.
These are medium-sized dogs that boast a long, rich fawn to russet mahogany coat covered in a blanket of black that gives them their striking appearance. Belgian Shepherd Tervueren dogs have the same muscular body and limitless energy that is associated with all Belgian Shepherd breeds.
Known to be smart and sensitive, these dogs thrive with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. If not given enough, especially in a home setting, they may invent their own games to alleviate boredom, potentially leading to the development of unruly or unwanted behaviours. Keep in mind that the Belgian Shepherd Tervueren does not like being left alone for long periods. So, they match best with families where someone is home for most of the day.
These handsome dogs combine the loyalty, love, and character of a companion dog, with the beauty and grace of a show dog and the intelligence and energy of a working dog. These canines are true all-rounders as long as they are appropriately trained and socialised by an experienced owner.

Belgian Terurens are medium-sized dogs, standing between 56 and 66 cm tall. They have robust bodies, but their weight can range between 20 and 30 kg depending on their muscle density. Females are generally lighter than males.
Out of all the Belgian Shepherd varieties, Tervurens are the most handsome. Their bodies are muscular but elegant, and their heads are elongated and well-chiselled, making them model-material in the dog world.
The Teruren’s upper body is broad and nicely muscled, with a deep chest and well-sprung ribs. Their muscular back legs stand on large, thick feet with springy soles, allowing them to run at high speed on all types of terrain.
One distinct feature of the Tervuren’s face is its long muzzle that tapers gradually to its small black nose. Above its muzzle are its small almond-shaped eyes, which are dark brown with black rims.
Tervurens are one of the two long-haired Belgian Shepherd breeds with a long, straight double coat. The dog’s dense undercoat provides them warmth and protection from extreme weather, and they strategically have tufts around their ears to protect dirt and bacteria from getting inside.
The Belgian Tervuren’s coat is typically fawn with a black overlay and black extremities (usually the muzzle and ears). Generally, their hair is longer on their body than their head, but they often have a ruff of long fur around the neck and feathering on the legs and tail.
Like all Belgian Shepherds, Tervurens are energetic and intelligent. These active dogs must always be doing something, ideally helping their owner somehow or running around the yard.
Therefore, their primary living need is getting plenty of exercise and interaction. Both physical and mental stimulation is a must, making these dogs wonderful canines for agility courses and flyball. They also adore long walks in the woods, challenging puzzles and interactive games.
Belgian Terurens are inside/outside dogs and do not do well living in a flat or apartment. They thrive in country homes with access to an enclosed garden and can spend lots of time in the great outdoors.
However, this is not a dog you can leave out in the garden while you go to work. Terurens desire frequent human companionship and suffer separation anxiety when left alone for too long.
These dogs are also highly confident and protective, so they are not afraid to protect their home or owners if needed. However, they are not aggressive for no reason and do not attack without cause.
The best home for a Belgian Teruren is easily one with a garden where they can enjoy plenty of off-leash exercises. However, the garden must be securely fenced as these canines have the instinct to chase moving objects, including wildlife, neighbourhood cats and even cyclists.
In terms of an owner, Belgian Terurens need someone who is home often and has plenty of time for them. Ideally, these dogs need a minimum of one hour of daily activity broken up into two or three play sessions or short walks.
Belgian Tervurens do well with active, outdoorsy people or young families where the household has high energy. They can get along well with children, but training will be necessary due to their dominant behaviours and herding instinct.
Belgian Tervurens can also live harmoniously with other dogs if they grow up with them from puppyhood. However, as they can be wary or even aggressive towards unfamiliar dogs, introducing them to another canine as an adult can be challenging.

Neo
Russian Blue
We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
