The Morphological Characteristics of the Belgian Tempienne The Belgian Tempienne is a relatively well-proportioned medium-sized dog. I believe some dog lovers have also watched related dog competitions. The Belgian Tempienne Lien Dog is also a racing dog. Breeding this type of dog will definitely be very popular when taken out. It is relatively smart and listens to its owner, which is a very advantageous feature for training it in daily life.
The ideal shoulder height of the male Belgian Tempienne should be 24 to 26 inches; the female should be about 22 to 24 inches. Males under 23 inches or over 26.5 inches are disqualified; females under 21 inches or over 24.5 inches are disqualified. Body proportions are square.

An undershot bite is a disqualification if two or more of the upper incisors are unable to contact the lower incisors. If the upper and lower incisors cannot contact because the middle incisor is short, but the other parts of the bite are correct, it will not be judged as a protruding bite.

The hair texture should be medium-coarse and should not be silky or bristly. Wavy or curly coat is not acceptable. The undercoat is very thick and can adapt to various climatic conditions. The hair on the head, the outside of the ears, and the lower half of the legs is slightly shorter, and the open ears are protected by tufts of hair. Feathering: Consists of longer, richer hair, such as the snood around the neck; the feathering on the back of the forearms; the long feathering on the thighs and "trouser" parts; and the long, thick and abundant hair on the tail. Females rarely have the same feathering as males. This distinction must be taken into account when judging females. Color The body color ranges from camel to reddish brown or mahogany. The coat color is a very unique bi-pigmentation: the tip of each camel hair turns black. The characteristic feature of the Belgian Terminus is that it darkens as it ages. In adult males, the black tips of the hair will be particularly noticeable on the shoulders, back and ribs. If only a small portion of the clip has black tips, it is not acceptable. Although the lack of black tips in females and juvenile males is permitted, the absence of black tips in adult males is a serious fault. Fading, such as cheese or gray color predominating, is a very serious fault. Chest: Usually black, but a mixture of black and gray is allowed. A white patch on the chest is allowed, but it cannot extend to the neck or under the chest. The face has a black mask, and the ears are usually black as well. The complete absence of black color on the face is a serious fault. A frosty or white color appears on the muzzle or chinis normal. The lower body, tail and "trousers" are cream, gray or light beige. The tip of the tail is dark or black. Feet: Toe tips may be white, toenails 0">pure black, pure liver color. White on parts other than chest, muzzle, chin, and toe tips is a disqualification.

The topline is level and stable, consistent with the direction of movement. This breed is better than running in a circle. Running in a straight line. Stiffness of gait, horse gait, gait, crab gait, and similar gaits are faults and will result in points being deducted according to the degree to which they affect working ability.
