Belgian Sheepdogs, also called Groenendaels, were developed in Belgium. Males stand 24 to 26 inches at the shoulder, and females stand 22 to 24 inches at the shoulder. Their coats come in black and may have some small white markings. Belgian Sheepdogs are natural watchdogs and generally quite energetic. They thrive on hard work and are very intelligent.
