the Laekenois have a curly coat, and the Malinois are used in police work probably as much as German Shepherds.
Our last male, Chip, was a Goreny. He was the grey variant (from two black parents) so couldn't be shown.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

wow, just stunning. I didn't know about the grey variety...especially from two black parents.
But what a beautiful dog.
Are the coats comparable in texture to a German Shepherd?
And do they shed much?

Maybe a long haired German Shepherd. More like a rough collie.
Yes, they shed quite a bit. We brush and vacuum 3 to 4 times a week to keep on top of it. Twice a year they blow the under coat.

There's no dog on earth that doesn't shed. Hair can be as short as you please. It's still all over the place.

My neighbor has a chihuahua. Really small dog with really short hair. Despite that, my clothes will be covered in shedded fur if I let her play with me in my lap. It's the dangdest thing.

Yeah, Lassie was a Rough Collie. These dogs resemble the Collie but they're an entirely different dog.

Honestly I thought it was a kind of Collie, but I don't know all the breeds. I remember someone had a dog that i thought was a rottweiler, but he said it was a different breed. He was shorter, but had similar coloration and body type.
