The Groenendael is rarely called that in the States, here it is mostly known simply as the Belgian Sheepdog... although those in the know will refer to it as Groenendael to eleminate confusion amongst the types.
Some breeders have both Groenendaels and Tervs, their coloring being the only thing that distinguishes the two types.
The Belgian Sheepdog is well known as a kind and gentle family guardian, and generally considered to be the most laid back and calm of all the Belgians. They are sometimes competed in trials and athletic sports, and several are found serving as the Search and Rescue dogs. There was a SAR Groenendael on ground zero after 9/11.
I have heard recent concerns about temperament issues in the today's Groenendael, some describing the ones they recently met as "slinky," or un-forward. Always investigate the background & family of any dog!
