Belgian Tervuren are one of four Belgian breeds that are so alike, they were once thought of as a single breed. These were the Tervs, Sheepdogs, Malinois, and Laekenois. The only thing that sets them all apart is their coat type. Belgian Tervurens are longhaired who love to master difficult tasks and have a great need to accomplish goals.
The Balinese—which sports large, triangular ears—likely originated from a genetic mutation that created a longhaired version of the Siamese cat breed. Lithe and muscular, the breed's silky coat lies close to the body and resists matting. These cats are typically affectionate, playful, and chatty. They love hanging out with their families, and they often get along with children and other pets.
