Belgian Tevuren History:
The dogs' ancestor originated in the village of Tervuren during the Middle Ages. The founding pair is thought to have been two long-haired sheepdogs. Originally the breed was developed to be a working dog and Tervurens are known for their herding skills and their great ability for police work. Also in addition to being working animals, they can also be good pets and will defend their masters' lives with a passion. Like the other Belgian Shepherds that were bred separately, the breed standard for the Tervuren was established in 1893 by Professor Adolphe Reul at the Belgian School of Veterinary Sciences. The breed’s numbers diminished in Europe during the World Wars, however the breed was gradually re-established and is popular in many parts of the world today.
