Belgians of any variety are incredibly versatile and trainable, with enormous enthusiasm and desire to please. Energetic, agile and highly intelligent, they are very alert by nature and can be quite mischievious. They require lots of attention and socializing as youngsters, with a need for structured activities and jobs to do in order to keep them out of trouble. They thrive on spending quality indoor time with their family. Their high energy level and need for jobs to do may not be appropriate for all family situations. Belgians are always happiest working and playing with human partners.
