Is A Malinois Right For You?

There are many dog breeds. But out of ALL dog breeds which one is the best one for you?… To clarify, there is no BEST BREED but only the RIGHT BREED. Depending on your purpose, one breed might be better suited than an other for you. If you want solely a lap dog, then a Belgian Malinois would NOT be adequate. Most choose a Belgian Malinois because of their qualities that is not found easily in other dogs- the same reason why its the preferred breed by dog trainers, law enforcement, and military. Qualities that make them attractive such as their intelligence, drive, compact size, long lifespan, trainability, low grooming requirements, and overall healthier than most breeds. Most previous Malinois owners can agree that once you go Malinois its hard to go back to anything else. Similar to the same experience you go through when switching from PC to Mac, you eventually can’t go back. The breed’s ease of handling, intelligence and obedient nature makes it the best fit for those seeking the same.

To Match a Puppy With its Right Home Its Wise To Have a Matching Process

To better discern if a puppy is a good fit for your home and family, you will be asked a few questions in relation to your goals to better asses your situation.  A MALINOIS REQUIRES AN OWNER THAT IS 100% COMMITTED AND DEDICATED… All MALINOIS require training. Without training they can become destructive. They are very smart dogs, very protective and loyal. High Energy working temperament will only be placed with professionals. Lower Energy to Medium Energy puppies will be placed with active homes, veterans/non-veterans, PTSD Therapy, Emotional Support, First-time Malinois owners and other less intense homes.

Unlike most breeders, our main focus is the training and the supplying of trained working dogs for professional applications and breeding as a secondary function to support that. In contrast however, for most breeders breeding is their primary purpose. Dogs might come from good champion lines and have AKC titles, however the quality of life of the ‘breeding dog’ is not a good one. 

5 Most Common Mistakes People Make When Looking for a BELGIAN MALINOIS PUPPY and What to Do About Them

Mistake number 1…Acquiring a puppy that is ‘ill bred’. It’s important that you make sure the Malinois puppy you’re interested in is well-bred and has a good appearance and temperament. A puppy without the correct markings, that is TOO YELLOW or that is nervous or insecure is a bad bred puppy. A puppy with little to no face mask you should avoid. You don’t want that. You want a courageous, confident, protective dog. You want a dog that has a good structure, good paw and bone size. Because the Belgian Malinois is hard to come by in the United States from reputable places, many breeders resort to breeding with whatever stock is available to them or from local Malinois owners or friends they know, producing an inbred subpar and frail-looking Malinois puppy.

Mistake number 2…Acquiring a puppy from a backyard breeder or, ‘hobby breeder’. It’s important that you look for puppies offered by professionals who work with the breed all the time and who train them, rather than someone who happens to have a male and a female to breed once in a while. Breeding and Training is an art. You need to have done it thousands of times before you are able to produce quality dogs. You need to have a variety of stock available to you to pick and choose the best traits to pass on. And as a trainer that works with the breed, you’re able to know best what type of dog and temperament is desired to have a smart and obedient dog.
Mistake number 3…Acquiring a puppy from someone who doesn’t interview homes. It’s very important that the breeder shows interest in getting to know the new handler to make sure it’s a right fit. Someone just looking to place puppies will not even care about you, your goals with your puppy, nor your living situation. Each puppy has a different personality and happy puppies are the ones placed with a compatible home.
Mistake number 4… Choosing a puppy based on price. If you’re shopping for a puppy bargain and basing your decision mainly on costs, you should definitely save yourself problems and headaches waiting to be happened and not acquire a puppy at all. Any new puppy like any new family member incur unexpected costs such as crates, toys, bedding, etc. Being on a tight budget can further make it more difficult to give puppy a good life. And while on a budget you can be easily influenced to bad bred puppies indicated by its cheap price tag, which you should see as a ticking bomb of problems waiting to happen.

Mistake number 5…Acquiring a puppy from someone who doesn’t sound knowledgeable. It’s important that the person offering you a puppy has more knowledge than you do about the breed and can advise you on best practices for caring for your puppy. Someone who doesn’t seem to know much is someone who you want to avoid.

As all our dogs, raised w/o chemicals nor toxic vaccinations. Natural deworming. Socialized. Imprinted. They are being started on basic English commands and leash training. Very good drives. Beautiful full dark face and a dark chest (hard to produce combination). Avail. with or w/o AKC reg. Will be searching for the right homes starting now and they will be placed mid June 2014. Reviewing submitted questionnaires now. Slideshow pending to be uploaded We’re professional Belgian Malinois dog handlers and we work and compete with the breed locally and abroad. We practice the sport known as French Ring, Schutzhund, and often work for Narcotic Detection, Border Patrol, and Law Enforcement Applications. We are serious about our work and passion, which you’ll see reflected in our photos. We’re producers of DarkFace Malinois; lines which we’ve d perfected over time in terms of beauty and solid temperaments. We have added a lot of information and photos to exhibit our exemplary specimens.

DarkFace Malinois

We work with lines- which we’ve been fine tuning and perfecting using quality imported blood, producing well-rounded Belgian Malinois dogs with FULL DARK FACES, DARK CHESTS and ACCENTED DARK-HAIRED TIPS on their backs. Take one of our pictures and compare them as you go through your puppy searching journey. We of-course would never sacrifice temperament for any physical markings, and in any case the temperament and fullness of the breed’s purpose is preferred over physical beauty.

Integrity of the Breed

At this point in time in the breed’s history in the United States, it’s critical that we focus in maintaining the integrity of the breed. Observing the current American bred Malinois we notice how its starting to morph into something else… and if you’re currently looking to acquire a Belgian Malinois puppy- this can affect the quality of puppy you may end up with. We travel abroad frequently for competition, breedings and importing new lines, and we see how other countries are very sophisticated and have highly optimized breeding programs in place that produce high quality dogs on a consistent basis… And it’s laughable to see how far behind we ‘Americans’ stand in terms of quality standards for the breed and sophistication. Sadly, it’s very hard today for a well-qualified prospective Malinois owner to acquire a ‘good’ Belgian Malinois dog without going overseas. And even if you do go overseas, without the right connections, an American going dog shopping in Europe will probably encounter serious rejection due to a general consensus that exists among European breeders to avoid selling their dogs to foreigners… specially if they know they’re coming from the United States.

Advancements of Work Done for the Breed

Moving forward and more recently- we have accelerated the work of the breed in the U.S., and have invested more resources to amplify the project, importing new blood… and successfully establishing foreign relationships- crucial to continue the breed’s much needed work here…

Keys to Becoming a Great Breeder

Something very critical for any good breeder to have is a constant flow of fresh imported blood coming in for breeding; You want to keep your lines alive, broad and varied. And you want to avoid excessively narrowing the gene pool, which is what’s happening right now with stagnant and dead lines imported many years ago….When the breed is hard to find like it is now- what tends to happen is that breeders (Note: we have nothing against other breeders and we respect their work) that have typically never traveled outside their state- resort to inbreeding within their limited stock or with whatever is available from other people they know in the U.S. …and the puppies produced are then sold to other breeders and when they grow they are bred again within that same gene-pool of friends and friends of breeders…That’s NO BUENO MY FRIEND..  It doesn’t matter if they have AKC or not, it doesn’t matter if there were 50 champions in the lineage a million years ago, what really matters is what the lines have become ever since, how they look, and what you can do with them now. Not doing this will lead you to breed the infamous “TABM’s”, an acronym used for the ‘Typical American Bred Malinois’…a puppy that is deplorable by foreign standards.

A TABM Puppy

A “Typical American Bred Malinois” puppy often has a dull yellow coat, thin bones, undersized paws, frail looking body, with a half-fast and barely noticeable black mask, ears that barely stay up…and many times so sensitive and scared of everything- hence making it a dog with no useful purpose. An example of this was found online and is attached below.

Example of a (TABM) ‘Typical American Bred Malinois’ (NOT Our Puppy)

You can see how puppy advertised on the picture above doesn’t have a well-pronounced face mask. Its actually very light and almost faded away. The mask doesn’t go past the eyes. Coat color is also very light and yellow and lacks sophistication. The only thing that we can not tell from the picture is the puppy’s temperament. We have high hopes that its temperament is highly, highly optimized to make up for its physical lacking- because from the picture alone we can tell that this is a very ill-looking and bad-bred Malinois puppy. In contrast check this puppy below. An Exemplary Specimen of Ours…This picture was sent to us by proud owner, Jane- from Brentwood, California… Not only will you see physical beauty, but also a nice structure and solid temperament, typical of our DarkFace Malinois Lines. Here’s another photo of him that was sent to us from Jane after his graduation from basic obedience class. Jane states that puppy easily picked up the commands and passed the whole program in a very short time. Other adult specimens of ours below… Father and Son. Part 2: As you see our work above, you will notice our dogs are physically very well-bred. Now, a physically well-bred and well-formed dog is only half of the story. A dog with a good temperament that is not sensitive, scared or thin nerved is also very important. A dog that is confident and protective of you without being aggressive is what you want. And yes, how you raise a pup will also contribute to whether a dog will be thin nerved and scared or confident and protective…this is the ‘Nature Vs. Nurture’ debate…however no amount of ‘nurture’ and ‘properly raising a dog’ can bring out a more confident and protective animal than what’s already predisposed by its genetic factors, in other words, you can’t make him/her more protective, courageous, and confident than what his genetic and brain chemistry dictates. I have a close friend who has 3 Malinois in Hawaii and swears by them. I have heard nothing but great things about this breed. I grew up with 2 big Akita females and loved them. We never had to worry about our family or house with them. They were family! Now I am 28 with a 6 year old son and a beautiful girlfriend who I want to have the same experience I had. I have done quite a bit of research on this breed and have talked to my friend in detail about these dogs. She has warned me that they do need to be mentally stimulated as well as physical daily exercise. We are an active family and enjoy to travel to the mountains to camp and hike. I feel a Malinois is the perfect breed to join us in the truck and be part of the family. -Taizen from Arizona

 What We Look For in A Good Belgian MalinoisCandidate

What we look for in good homes and prospective candidates for any of our puppies is a well researched person and someone who is passionate about owning a Belgian Malinois. In most cases they are the type of persons that has done all their research on the breed, seen all videos, read every single article written about them, and have spent countless hours every night watching Malinois videos and dog training materials. They have most likely Googled and researched everything about the breed, and are interested in acquiring more than just a ‘pet’ but rather are looking for a lively, fun, high activity partner and/or a PTSD therapy companion. We typically choose those homes because they show commitment in choosing the right breed by investing serious thought and effort into it. And we also choose those homes because the reputation, health and integrity of our breed is dependent on who owns them, and we only want new owners with knowledge who will zealously keep the breed wholesome and intact.

rmed of puppies planned for 2014. This questionnaire will be like a quick interview that will tell us a little about you to help us make the selection process smoother and more accurate between a puppy and its future handler. The particular type of puppy that you’ll be limited to if you have no prior experience with the Belgian Malinois, will be a ‘civilian tempered’ puppy and will generally serve better for personal therapy / companion and civilian protection purposes. Working tempered puppies and first picks of the litter are reserved for professionals, and for working purposes only. Note: We are not ‘ELITIST’ who keep the breed ‘OFFLIMITS’ from capable handlers, nor do we like treating people who want a compatible high activity dog as ‘CHILDREN’ incapable of making their own decisions and judgements. We don’t make exaggerated claims of the breed being a GSD on ‘METH’ (Yes Malinois are high energy, and that’s a generalization…, and yes there is a spectrum and a range of energy levels, where some are lower than others, and some are WAY over the top…. and we acknowledge and factor that when choosing the right handler for each puppy.). Usually this propaganda and scare tactic is used to keep away ‘UNINFORMED’, ‘UNEDUCATED’, ‘UN-COMMITTED’, ‘UNSERIOUS’, ‘IGNORANT”, ‘PET SEEKERS’…And keeping them away from the breed is of course our intention as well…But we prefer EDUCATION, INFORMATION and KNOWLEDGE, as a better tool rather than the fear and propaganda frequently employed… And the truth is that many well-informed physically active civilian homes report to us having a great relationship with their Malinois and it being the best dog experience they’ve ever had. And as responsible dog handlers, we ofcourse will not place a HIGH ENERGY WORKING TEMPERAMENT MALINOIS with an 80 year old grandma looking for a lap dog. Every dog has it’s proper role according to its temperament. You get the point!

“We have decided upon the the Belgian Malinois because we want a guard dog who will be loyal to and protective of our family (we have 3 children) and an active and smart dog who can accompany us on our vacations and day trips (our favorite place to go is the mountains) as well as on our daily/weekly runs and hikes. The longevity of the Malinois as well as the good health of the breed was also a main factor. The Malinois is also a very beautiful and unique dog. We considered a German Shepard, but felt that the size and the shorter hair of the Malinois would be more suitable since the dog will be welcome inside the home.”  -Michelle from Techapi, California

And on that scale you measure the puppy’s intensity levels from one to ten. And depending on the scale’s intensity levels for that puppy, you determine what type of role would best fit that Malinois puppy. Lower intensity Malinois puppies such as a level three or four or five do better with civilian, beginners and for PTSD therapy roles. Levels five, six and seven are better for experienced previous GSD or Malinois owners, since they are more intense. A level eight or nine or ten puppy are only for full time working purposes and professionals. Some Malinois puppies are VERY driven and high energy that they would be considered a level eleven, twelve or even thirteen!…that’s how intense they are. Most
