AKC Standard

Discussion
Correct eyes and ears give the Belgian Sheepdog’s head its attractiveness and are considered essential to good breed type.
The eyes should be almond shaped and dark brown, with an alert, intelligent look. Protruding, round, or light colored eyes can destroy the look of a good head.
The ears should be triangular in shape, set high on the head, giving the Belgian Sheepdog’s head its unique beauty and distinguishing it from many other breeds having naturally erect ears. A high set, small to medium sized ear permits the proper expression, so essential to the breed.
