Well a Belgian will grow out to be about 2/3ds the size of a Shepard and weigh in around 40/50lbs when full grown. I’m still up in the air (no pun intended) whether to get a Belgian or another Border Collie. I lost my girl last November after fourteen wonderful years together.
Get a Border Collie,by all means.I’ve had two in the past,smartest dogs on the planet.I’ve had German Shepherds that came close to being as smart but Border Collies are the Einsteins of the canine world.
I have a Belgian Sheepdog sleeping against me as I type. Also have a 1 YO German Shepherd. In the past I had 1 Belgian Tervuren and 1 other Belgian Sheepdog. They are great dogs.
She knew she was loved. When you get to The Pearly Gates, she will be there waiting for you, so you both can walk in together. As far as your next furry family member, be patient and have faith. He/she will be directed to you when you are ready.
The loss never gets any easier; lost Whitey in 1975, lost Runt in 1985, lost Rolly in 1998, Lost Pearl in 2003, lost Blondie in 2006, just lost old Jack this last December.
Honey Bunny probably only has about another 2 or 3 years ( they will be good years).
Next will most likely will be Penny, then probably George , then Sophie , then Billy.
I need to stop going to the pound; first they steal your heart, then they break it.
Getting to old now to start another family.
