KAJIA IS A Belgian Tervuren.... OR MORE LOOSELY TERMED A LONG HAIR GERMAN SHEPHERD
WE WERE JUST INFORMED THAT KAJIA WILL REMAIN IN HER HOME. THIS IS A GREAT THING FOR HER AND FOR HER FAMILY. Kajia is a Belgian Tervuren. She is a beautiful soft female, spade and up to date on shots and HW Negative. She was first trained as a prison dog used to detect contraband but was adopted soon after by an officer then given to the current owner. The current owner has fallen on some hard times, loosing her home and is forced to relinquish her. We evaluated her this afternoon for temperament and she passed with flying colors. She is a calm sweet social dog that has been in a loving home for over 6 years. She is about seven and weighs 80 pounds. She is active and would make a tremendous dog for a family with kids. She loves children and being in a home where play was an every day event. She is not destructive, crate trained and housebroken. She knows all of her commands and is extremely obedient. She does need to get into training if adopted to established her ownership to the new family. She bonds quickly and is extremely affectionate. She is an active dog and one who needs play time and exercise time daily. this is NOT a couch potato but rather a working dog who needs a job, family and play. If Kajia seems right for you and you have the energy for her... please call us asap because we want to get her into a home before we close on the 10th for vacation.
Here is what the internet says about these gorgeous dogs:
EACH DOGS TEMPERAMENT IS DIFFERENT AND EACH DOG IS ALWAYS A UNIQUE PERSONALITY. THIS IS FOR GUIDANCE ONLY.
The Belgian Tervuren is one of four Belgian sheepdogs. A very bright and obedient dog, it is determined and observant with strong protective and territorial instincts. Socialize well to prevent it from becoming shy or sensitive. Belgian Tervurens need an experienced master who is firm, but not heavy handed. If you are harsh or overbearing it will become uncooperative. Owners need to display a confident, natural authority over the dog. Consistent rules must be set and made clear. This breed is instinctively protective so it should be trained and socialized very well from an early age. Puppies should be socialized right from birth. Good for working and competition obedience, these dogs make excellent police and guard dogs. This type of work is currently their main occupation. They do however, make excellent pets if they have owners who can challenge their minds with an air of leadership. They are ever watchful, alert and loyal. The Belgian Tervuren is good with children if socialized well with them. This breed needs to be part of the family and not locked up in a kennel. They need leadership, daily exercise along with training and companionship, for without it they may become destructive and hard to handle. The Belgian Tervuren is high energy, with a high mental capacity, and is quick to comprehend. They need a job to do, especially if you are dealing with working lines. Take care when introducing this dog with small non-canine pets. They can be rather dominant toward other dogs and need an owner who can communicate to the dog that dominance is an unwanted behavior. Provided they are correctly socialized with cats and other pets, they should not present any problems. Belgian Tervurens may instinctively display herding behavior such as chasing and circling, moving effortlessly for hours and nipping at people's heels. They must be taught not to do this to people. This is a very demanding dog. It needs an experienced owner for it can easily be difficult to control unless the owner knows how to handle him. The way the owner handles the dog can produce wide differences in temperament and aggressiveness. Talk to someone experienced with the breed before you buy your dog. These dogs are often impressive; don't base your purchase solely on achievement records and appearances. Only adopt this type of dog if you fully understand what it means to be alpha.
