Highly successful in competitive sports like obedience and schutzhund, the Tervuren bonds strongly to his family, protecting them with his life. Those dark, wolflike good looks intimidate intruders, but with his family, the Belgian Tervuren can get as silly as the next dog.

Borzoi: Standing in for fine-art sculpture one minute, faster than a speeding bullet the next (if a rabbit should happen to dash by), the silky-coated, long-nosed, elegant Borzoi can chill out with the best, artfully arranged on your most picturesque sofa, as long as he gets that need for speed out of his system on a daily basis. Like true aristocrats, Borzois need daily grooming, have good manners and won’t associate with just anybody.
