The Tervuren Dog Breed

The Tervuren is a Belgian shepherd breed who looks closely to the Groenendael and a Border Collie. This breed has a strong working ethic like all of the Belgian breeds and is known to be well behaved and helpful. With an easy training personality, they have been the type of dog that would track down felons, sniff for bombs, and protect civilians for many years. Origin These energetic dogs have been known to be around since the late 1800's and early 1900's. They have appeared in numerous dog shows since the late 50's and many think they might be a cross of a type of collie with some German Shepherd blood. Being from Eastern Europe, their type has been around since the Neolithic period, but it is unknown when they became shorter and grew more fur. Appearance Tervuren dogs have a unique look with a long muzzle and small nose. They have triangular ears pointed up showing their observant personalities. Their eyes are close together and the bridge of their nose has a sma...

The Berger Picard Dog Breed

The Berger Picard is a French herding dog that is known for its short and wiry fur and quick agility. They have been confused with a larger type of terrier because of their diminutive looks. Like most European dog breeds, they almost died out during the two World Wars but were resurrected by breeders who felt that they needed these dogs back in to compete in dog shows. Origin There is no proof, but they are thought to be one of the oldest dogs in France. In the 9th century, this dog who was much bigger at the time, was brought over to the northern part of France by the Franks as a gift. They also may have been born and bred in the Dutch highlands in the 7th century but there is no proof on this information. They have been ever popular during the 1800's at dog shows because of their rustic looks and easy to train personalities. Appearance The Picard is a small herding dog that weighs about fifty pounds, a mighty weight for its size. They are compact and have a crisp coat th...

The American Akita Dog Breed

The American Akita, a dog breed with an attentive and capable appearance, is one of the most popular breeds all across Japan. Despite its name, it was actually bred in the mountains of Japan and is a wholly different sort than its Akita Inu relative. The American Akita is a bit more stocky, has softer and more abundant fur with a larger nose. Being from its ancestor, the Matagi dog, they still have a strong sense of hunting within them. Appearance These dogs are quite muscular, they have a thick neck, strong legs, and muscled back. Their back legs are powerful and their tail is a cute long curly cue. They usually have a "black mask" on their face, unless they are of all white. They come in brindle, tawny, beige, white and brown, all black and all beige. Their face resembles a bear slightly just like their Akita Inu brothers, and their ears stick straight up in a triangular shape. They can weigh to thirty to fifty pounds. Temperament American Akitas are positively...
