Belgian Sheepdog

Belgian Sheepdogs can be traced back as far as the 1800's in dog shows and are considered to be a hard working dog. During WWI they became famous for serving as message carriers, ambulance dogs, and even pulling machine guns. This strong, black dog breed stands between 24 and 26 inches and weighs around 65 pounds. The Belgian Sheepdog would be suitable for any family that can provide jobs for the dog to do, such as herding.
