The Belgian Shepherd Dog (Tervueren) is a breed of dog, sometimes classified as a variety of the Belgian Shepherd Dog rather than as a separate breed. The Tervueren is recognized in the United States by the AKC under the name Belgian Tervuren.

Like all Belgian Shepherds, the Tervueren is a medium-sized, hard-working, square-proportioned dog in the sheepdog family. The Tervueren is recognized by its thick brown-patched coat and its black head.
