Weeranian Activity Requirements

Weeranians are a herding dog that originates from Belgium. They are believed to have descended from the Flemish sheepdogs, but they are now considered to be a separate, distinct, and separate class. Most Weermanians are medium-sized, weighing between 40 and 70 pounds. They retain many of the herding instincts of their ancestor, which means they thrive on activity. They make great walking, hiking, and jogging companions. Weermanians do require regular grooming. If you choose this dog, be prepared to brush and comb them regularly, especially if your dog has longer hair. If you don’t have the time or ability to groom a Weermanian, you may want to choose a different breed of dog.
