About this Breed

The Belgian Malinois is the ultimate working dog. They were developed during the late 1800’s in Belgium with the intent of creating a highly intelligent dog with a very strong work ethic. The breed has made a statement through its work in the police force and the military. Malinois were Belgium’s first police dogs. American servicemen brought these dogs back to the United States after World War I with the desire to incorporate them into the military.

This is a very smart breed that requires a strong owner in order to tackle their intelligence. Malinois have boundless energy, but can thrive anywhere so long as they are thoroughly exercised on a daily basis.

Their double coat, unfortunately, can result in quite a bit of shedding. These are people oriented dogs that want to be included in all family happenings.
