"Tibo received a new toy (water bottle with animal cover) this morning. He did really well on his first tracking exercise Saturday. Tibo seemed to know we were doing something different when I put the harness on him. He began to focus not pull puppy nonsense... Biting leash, tugging on leash... He followed me out and sat at the start. Then I helped him find each treat on the track and the glove at end. He is the most focused puppy I have ever had. This afternoon I will set another track for him. At some point I will try to video it for you. I Love Malinois." -Mary from Oroville

"My live in girlfriend and I are very active people. I am looking for an active dog to make part of our family. I am not looking to compete him/her however I do want a dog that I can take running, backpacking, camping, surfing, hiking, and play around with other dogs/families. I am looking for a dog that I can train to be well disciplined and a constant companion. I am looking for a very loyal companion that can be easily trained and has lots of energy. I have known a few belgian families, all of whom swear by the dog and have explained to me they would never own a different dog because their dog does all the above. After meeting several belgians myself I have grown to love there energy, playfulness attention to their owners and natural discipline. I also believe them to be some of the most beautiful dogs and look forward to bringing one into my family." -James from Roseville, California

"I was lucky enough t work with a Malinois while working on a farm over 12 years ago. It was a great dog, but it was not trained for any specific task even though the farm had cattle and sheep. Whittle, the Mal, did save me from having to put down a sheep because he was able to help me round the sheep up. Whittle did it naturally and I fell in love with the breed. I have done extensive research into the breed and the more I read the more interested I become. In addition to reading extensively online I have a couple of books I have recently bought; The Art of Raising a Puppy and How To Be Your Dog's Best Friend. I am an active person and I am looking for an active dog do get outside with me. In addition to getting the dog outside a lot I am interested in getting the dog involved with agility training http://www.acedogsports.com/). I have also inquired about getting involved with CARDA http://search-dogs.carda.org/. As an outdoor enthusiast I have experience in search in rescue efforts in Tahoe.

"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

"Our last dog, Stella, was a Belgian Malinois and she was an amazing dog. The breed is perfect for our lifestyle. We are an active couple who loves to go for runs, hikes, and to the trails/rivers that are all over Sacramento. Our dogs get plenty of exercise and we need one that can keep up with us. Additionally, we love the intelligence of Malinois’. They are eager to learn, and respond to training very well. We went to training with Stella when she was a puppy, and we intend to do the same with our next dog. We have a large home, with a large, secure backyard. Plus, I work from home so the dog will get plenty of stimulation to ensure they don’t get into trouble :) We’re looking for our next family member to share our energetic and loving home." -Gemma from Sacramento, California

"I've come to know this breed of dog from watching a segment reported on 60 minutes on how the military trained Belgian Malinois to detect explosive in the middle east. After doing some research on this breed, I found they have a very similar quality as the German Shepherds. Both breeds, the Malinios & German shepherds have excellent temerpament, easy to train, very loyal to their owners, very protective & alert. The exception between the two is size difference. The Malinois is medium size which is more ideal in what I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong, I still love German Shepherds, but the smaller size of the Malinois is more ideal for me." Eddie from San Jose, California

"I was in Afghanistan last year deployed Navy working with the Army, I had my first experience with Malinois as working dogs and thought they were amazing. The dogs were remarkably smart, and to how they worked with their handlers it was like nothing I had ever seen. I rescued a pitt/hound mix when I lived in Florida, she was awesome! Loved her to death, however she had a surgery and while in recovery at the 'animal ER' she died due to infection. I own my home in FL and didn't have any issues with Lali being a Pitt, however moving to San Diego there are quite a bit more restrictions with Pitt bulls in various communiites. " -Daniel from San Diego, California

"I like Malinois' for it's intelligence, loyalty, and non stop temperament-I am a formerly enlisted Marine. I've always had a thing for teaching, and training and have the patience to work through difficulties and sacrifice in order to see and be proud of the end results. This breed is very beautiful and seems to go hand-in-hand with a no non-sense type of individual. I feel very comfortable knowing there is a protector/deterrent when I am away from my home for day to day activities/chores." -Marco from Los Angeles, California
