Kita is splendid! I am not really a dog person Kay but can I guess at GS and quite young? That coat must take some brushing!

Angie she is actually a Tervueren which is one of the four varities of Belgian Shepherd. The are a lot finer than the GSDs.

She is now 8 months and in the very bouncy 'tigger' stage, which can last until they are about 4 :shock:. So getting pics can be fun and games. I think OH took about 20 but was only happy with these :roll:. Absolutely everything distracts her at the moment in particular the seagulls flying overhead, then the ids playing, dogs barking, cars and so on :D.

Well, I was right about young anyway! I did think she looked finer boned than a "normal" GS!

Bet she keeps you well exercised and on your toes!

She certainly does........but she is usually standing on my toes :shock:

Thanks. I love GSDs but I do prefer the BSD with their finer boning. The Tervs and the Groenes are my favourites too. I can't quite get my head round the Malis short coat and I am reserving judgement on the Laekenois :?

Thank you Shelley. She is pretty but boy does she know it :roll:. She might be the youngest but she is boss......well of the dogs anyway ;). They are not as common as the GSDs so you may not have seen one before. I will get some pics of the other three varities to show the difference

This is a Groenendael. They are long coated like Kita but black.

This is the Malinois. Which is the same colouring as Kita but short coated.

And finally the Laekenois which has a wiry coat.

Thanks for posting those pictures Kay. Like Shelley, I don't think I've come across a Belgian Shepherd before.

As I have said they are not as common as the GSDs and people tend to think they are a GSD cross Collie. When I had my original BSD, Finn, many years ago I remeber having a conversation in the woods with a 'sweet' old man who was so insistant that Finn was a cross and I had been 'done'. In the end I just said' Well he has qualified for Crufts as a BSD' and that shut him up!!!!

Kita's an amazing looking dog! Like Angie, I'm not really a dog person, but Kita's got a beautiful coat, poise, grace and is rather pretty too.

Hopefully as she gets that little bit older she'll calm down a bit and grow into her elegance even more!

Thank you Yola. That is really nice of you as I now you aren't really a dog person.

By the time she is about 4-5 she may have calmed doen :roll:

Woah she is coming on well there Kay. I do like them as I have previously said my friend used to keep them and his older bitch Katie was well perfection.
