I also have a black and tan belgian sheepdog breed. I am seeking confirmatoin of this color type, and have seen one on a purebreed magazine in agility work. My dog is a perfect Belgian Sheepdog look and fits all personality and other breed rules.
I just found a link that identifies a regressive gene that causes the black and tan marked Belgian Sheepdog. I will gather that info and add to my comment shortly

Yes. These are two separate breeds of dog. Although they bear a superficial resemblance, the German shepherd is usually taller, heavier, and bigger-boned than the malinois. German Shepherds are easier to handle than Malinios. Before getting a malinios, people should study their characteristics. They are more stubborn than German shepherds.
There are several breeds that look very similar to a German Shepherd. These are: 1) Silhoh Shepherd 2) Belgian Tervuren 3) Belgian Laekenois 4) Belgian Malinois 5) Belgian Groenendael 6) Anatolian Shepherd Dog 7) Beauceron

Lakenois are bigger by a small amount, and are the least similiar to the German Shepherd of all four Belgian Shepherds.
I have a Tervueren (Belgian Shepherd). He loves swimming and is a fantastic swimmer.

I like the Belgian Shepherd's the best because it tastes like Belgian waffles.
The Belgian Shepherd, also known as a Belgian Sheepdog, is a medium to large sized breed of herding dog. More information about them can be found from the AKC, Wikipedia, or from Animal Planet's Dogs101 site.
