Belgian shepherds will commonly suffer from eye, joint and thyroid problems as well as epilepsy and cancer. Because of their low percentage of body fat, they may have complications when undergoing anesthesia. -
Sports or Activities
Much like their name suggests, the Belgian shepherds can be used for herding. They are highly trainable which makes them a good candidate for guide dogs. They do require daily exercise and human attention. Belgian shepherds that are often left alone or are not sufficiently exercised may become destructive. -
Types of Belgian Shepherd Dog
