Quick question:
We've been looking into getting a large dog as we live on 5 acers and spend a lot of time outdoors. however, we have a small pom. currently and two cats, How does the Belgian breed interact with smaller pet companions?
Thanks

Hiya .. Belgians do quite well with other dogs both large and small. The same is not always true in reverse so the Belgian will end up getting their feelings hurt when for example a Great Pyr tries to take its head off...
Chopper never met a person who didn't want to pet him and he hasn't met another dog who wasn't his best friend. Cats on the other hand may be a bit of a problem. I've had chopper around a couple of cats and it was a bit of a challenge to keep them apart. He's 70 lbs of energy that's ready to go and check out that little furry ball with a tail and based on the look in his eyes I'm thinking he's seeing his next meal.
Around people Belgians are generally known to be well mannered, playful, and obedient. Some people might call them a bit needy but if you love dogs you'll appreciate the friendship offered by a Belgian.
One thing that's important to know is that they do have long hair that needs to be brushed frequently to keep their coat in decent shape and they do shed a bit. Other than that they are wonderful pets.

He's a Bengals fan! Of course he likes his Oktoberfest Bengals chicken lid...
