Absolutely, Peg. However, I was speaking to the black and tan (patterned) Also, some (even AKC {evil grin} ) are unaware that the three Belgians are sometimes interbred in this country (illegally) as well as in Europe (legally).

Remember that this is the only country in the world that has the Belgian Shepherds separated into different breeds...and we don't even recognize one of the varieties, the Laekenois. (sp)........ Imports can and have produced blacks..probably not too many b/t's, tho... When they're being honest, most of the long time Belgian breeders will admit to either having or having seen the wrong colour dogs ........that is, blacks, in Malinois and in Tervuren litters....just as some Sheepdog breeders most likely have had an "off black" or Terv coloured pup......even Edeltraud Laurin used to admit that she'd had some black puppies in her Terv litters...I don't know that she'd admit it these days, tho!
