Not to randomly bump up an old thread, buuut..

I have only had two people correctly identify Visa as a Belgian. One because his sister had one, the other because she used to have one. Everyone else automatically thinks me dog is something else. So far I've had "black German shepherd," "German shepherd/collie mix," "black collie," "German shepherd/wolf mix," and "wolfdog." When it was my first day doing work experience at the shop I work at, I came in, saw Visa, and told her breeder "Nice groenendael." It was those simple words that made her beg my boss to hire me -- because I knew what a groenendael was.
