The BelgianShepherdDog (Tervueren) is a breed of dog, sometimes classified as a variety of the BelgianShepherdDog rather than as a separate breed.
The Tervueren is recognized in the United States by the AKC and the CKC under the name Belgian Tervuren, but has recently had an official name change to BelgianShepherddog, Tervueren, in Canada.
Tervueren may also be sable or grey, but this may be penalized in the show ring in some countries according to the standard of the registering body.
The first impression of the Belgian Tervuren is that of a well balanced medium size dog, elegant in appearance, standing squarely on all fours, with proud carriage of head and neck.
The Belgian Tervuren is a herding dog, and faults which affect his ability to herd under all conditions, such as poor gait, bite, coat or temperament should be particularly penalized.
Dogs are to be penalized in accordance to the degree they deviate from the ideal.
