With the exception of the nearly extinct Bouvier des Ardennes, these dogs are the sole survivors of a once wide variety of Belgian cattle dogs. These robust, cattle driving, cart pulling farm dogs existed in a number of coat and color varieties until 1965, when present standards were set. These powerful and usually amiable dogs can be quite aggressive, a reminder of their cattle guarding heritage. They make superb guard dogs. These dogs need regular grooming. They weigh 60 to 88 lbs. and stand 23-27" at the shoulders. Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
