Breed: Belgian Tervuren
- The Terv is known in Belgium as the Chien de Berger Belge.
- The Terv owes its name to the Belgian village of Tervuren, the home of M.F. Corbeel, an early devotee of the breed.
- A. Clarys featured a Terv in one of his famous paintings of the very early 20th century.
- The first Terv was registered with the AKC in 1918.
- Prior to 1959, the Belgian Tervuren was shown as a Belgian Sheepdog. In that year, the AKC granted the breed separate status.
- The Terv originated in the Belgian countryside as a general herding and guard dog.
