    I love the look of the Laekenois, do they make suitable pets?

    Stunning :049:

    Must admit that I quite like the Laekenois - maybe even more than the Malinois ;)

    Ohhh I do love the curlies!

    They were - apparently - once used to guard the linen drying in the fields... now that is quirky enough for me... never mind their silly teddy faces. Underneath of course is a real Belgian, but you'll never get the "Alsatian" or GSD comments... which would be nice for a change!

    [People will probably think it's an Airedale... :lol:]

    Yep Laekenois make excellent pets for active homes -they have the same temperament and need to use their brains like all the other varieties of BSD - they are as rare as hen's teeth though with only a couple of breeders in the Uk and a waiting list as long as your arm !! -

    That Terv pup is just stunning :049:

    As much as I like the look of the BSDs, the Laekenois look a bit too "terrier-ish" (there's the Airedale comment MM ;)) for me, iykwim? I think it is the curly coat.

    It is interesting that out of the four varieties the other three types are far and away more popular than the Laekenois. Does anyone in the breed know why?

    my aunt bred them for about 20 yrs & can only talk from my own experience but i would say that generally the other 3 are easier to handle .. the laekonois is stronger willed , in fact stronger in everything. Not my fave bsd to be honest .. she started at the same time as hazel, so they were very rare then .. remember she had a litter of 13 pups & got left with about 7 of them!

    OOH was your aunt Wendy Purdue (affix Wyend ) ? ....a lovely lady with a great sense of humour - she and Hazel were staunch supporters of the Laekenois in the early days.

    the coat type has never been as popular as the long or smooth varieties and there are very few breeders anywhere in Europe - in America the Laekenois is not even recognised

    Thanks bijou. I did wonder whether it was the coat and general appearance that wasn't as popular as the more glamorous Tervs and Groens and workmanlike Malis.
