Check my 360°. I think she is 5 or 6 months old. (She doesn't have all her premolars, yet.) It is hot here in central Texas so keep in mind this is her summer coat. And any tips for raising her (if she is a Belgian Shepherd) would be appreciated. We have bonded strongly. She's now my baby & I am gah gah over her!
Answer:Although I dont think she is a pure bred Belgian, I do think she has Belgian Shepdog in her background. Go to bsca.info This is our National Belgian Sheepdog club website. You can get breed info about personalities, training, structure, etc. BTW - Laurie - Belgian Sheepdog heads are not narrow like a collies. They are actually about 2 times the width of a collie and look more like a German SHepherd head. Their coats can be as big as a collies, or shorter, kind of like a long coat shepherd. .

I have just recently rescued a belgian sheepdog, and I am planning to breed her. I got the name Lorra Miller from the web I am wondering if any one knows her, and if she is good.
Answer:a you planning on getting her and the stud dog tested for any hertartrie health problems??? a vet doesn't do this a specialist does. a you going to have an ultrasound done to confirm pregnancy and than an xray around 7 weeks to count how many puppies you should expect? what a you going to feed her while she's pregnant? she will need to be on a special diet(will need certain food) do you know how to tell if something isn't right while she's pregnant? do u know how to assist her in labour if required? do u know how to care for the puppy's if she doesn't? a you going to have all pups vaccinated etc before going to new homes? if u answered no to any of the above then you shouldn't breed her!!!!!!!!!!!!! out of curiosity why do u want to breed her? cos if mum and pups cared for properly through this time u wont actually make money.
Is it because it isn't as popular worldwide?
Answer:yes, in order for a breed to be recognized it must meet certain criteria, and one of them is that there is a parent club in the US, certain regulations for the US studbook, and there must be a certain minimum number of people and dogs interested in competeing. The laekenois is in the process of being recognized, right now they are registered as a foundation stock breed, meaning they are building up thier stud book and gathering interest.
