Redirect to:

Belgian Shepherd#Groenendael

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From a short name: This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a more complete page title, such as a person's full name or the unbroken title of a written work.
- Use this rcat (not {{R from initialism}} nor {{R from abbreviation}}) to tag redirects that are the initials of a person's name.

From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Groenendael (Q38399).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-The '''Groenendael''' (in English, approximately {{IPAc-en|ˈ|x|r|uː|n|ən|d|ɑː|l}}) is a variety of [[dog]] that is included in the [[Belgian Shepherd Dog|Belgian Shepherd]] [[dog breed|breed]], but sometimes treated as a distinct breed. The Groenendael is recognized, either as a breed or a variety of the larger breed, by all major kennel clubs, such as [[the Kennel Club]] of the UK.<ref name="kennel">{{cite web |url= http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/breed/display.aspx?id=5111 |title=Belgian Shepherd Dog (Groenendael) |work=TheKennelClub.org.uk |location=London |publisher=The Kennel Club |access-date=28 November 2013}}</ref> In the [[American Kennel Club]], it is called the '''Belgian Sheepdog''',<ref name="AKC BSD">{{cite web |url=http://www.akc.org/breeds/belgian_sheepdog/ |title=Belgian Sheepdog in AKC |work=AKC.org |publisher=American Kennel Club |access-date=25 June 2008 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080708030436/http://www.akc.org/breeds/belgian_sheepdog/| archive-date=8 July 2008 |deadurl=no}}</ref> a term otherwise synonymous with Belgian Shepherd Dog more broadly.
-== Description ==
-{{Howto|section|date=April 2016|reason=This "should" language is not encyclopedic. WP does not provide conformation standards, and is not a dog show.}}
-Like all Belgian Shepherds, the Groenendael is a medium-sized, hard-working, square-proportioned dog, in the [[Herding dog|sheepdog]] family.<ref name="AKC BSD" /> The Groenendael is recognized by its distinctive black coat.
-===Appearance===
-[[Image:Belgian Groenendael - MEN.jpg|thumb|right|10-year-old Groenendael]]
-The Groenendael should be athletic, strong, imposing, rustic, and balanced in appearance. It should look natural, never as though it has been prepared just for the show ring. Its coat should be profuse, but never look as though it would inhibit the dog's working ability in any way. The colour is always black, with small white markings being allowed on the chest. When being shown, its handler should never have to force it into position; ideally the handler should not have to touch the dog at all.
-====Size====
-The Groenendael should be {{convert|60|-|66|cm|in}} at the [[withers]] for males, and {{convert|56|-|62|cm|in}} for females. The weight should be approximately {{convert|25|-|30|kg|lb}} for males, and {{convert|20|-|25|kg|lb}} for females.
-====Coat====
-The Groenendael has a thick, double coat. The texture should be hard and dense, never woolly, silky, frizzy, fine, or wiry. The undercoat should be thick and profuse. In [[conformation show]]s, dogs without an undercoat are heavily penalized.
-===Temperament===
-[[Image:Belgian Shepherd Groenendael puppy 4months.jpg|thumb|A Groenendael at 4 months]]
-The Groenendael is intelligent, active, loyal and quietly affectionate. Groenendaels are not a breed for the faint of heart. However, for those who have plenty of time, energy, confidence and love, they are wonderful friends. Training and socializing is essential. They are wary of strangers and protective. They love children as long as they are introduced to them at an early age. The Groenendael bonds deeply to its people and can live outdoors or in a kennel. It needs to spend time with its family every day and may experience separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time.
-==Care==
-The Groenendael needs a large amount of exercise as a rule. Expect to spend about two hours a day working with it. Exercise should include not only a walk, but also a training session to keep the dog mentally stimulated. These dogs have great "work ethic" and need a job to do, such as obedience, [[flyball]], [[schutzhund]] training, [[dog agility]] or livestock work in order to be happy. They are a sensitive breed and cannot be trained using harsh training methods. They do not need much grooming, however when shedding (which happens once or twice a year) they lose massive amounts of coat and need grooming every day.
-==Health==
-{{See also|Belgian Shepherd#Health}}
-==Activities==
-Belgian Shepherds can compete in [[dog agility]] trials, [[obedience training|obedience]], [[Dog showmanship|showmanship]], [[flyball]], [[tracking (dog)|tracking]], and [[herding]] events. [[Herding]] instincts and trainability can be measured at non-competitive herding tests. Groenendael exhibiting basic herding instincts can be trained to compete in herding trials.<ref name="Hartnagle-Taylor and Ty Taylor">{{cite book|first1 = Jeanne Joy | last1 = Hartnagle-Taylor | first2 = Ty | last2 = Taylor |year = 2010|title=Stockdog Savvy|publisher=Alpine Publications|isbn=978-1-57779-106-5|pages=|chapter=}}</ref> One of the basic activities of the Belgian Shepherd was guarding the flock. This make that the Belgian shepherd is extremely useful for protection purposes. The Malinois is famous for its IPO or Police-dog performance, but the Groenendael can also be used for this purpose.
