  • Here is my dog Rocky. He is is 3 yr old Belgian Malinois. Yes they are awesome but they rarely have an off and will want to play all day! If your sleepy, sick, tired, they will still need to be worked. Watch my Mali and enjoy, but understand the drive. Yes the are cool dogs that can do amazing things, but working malinois aren't for the lazy. These dogs want to work all day, their who life. So if you think you want a belgian malinos think again. Thanks for all the support

    When I lived with my parents, we had a Malinois X Greyhound from the shelter. Best dog ever. Outside the house, she showed best of both worlds. Very obedient, also of the leash. Always kept by my side, without formal training. When she had the 'okay' to go, she ran like crazy. She had the natural desire to please. Sat when I asked, always walked by my side, looking at me for a command. Once I forgot to say 'come, girl', and she was waiting on me, 100 feet behind. I bet her previous owner taught het, but it came so natural to me. She was the very first dog we met at the shelter, and it was an instant click. She was very social with strangers, especially kids. Kids called her 'Bambi', because of her disproportional ears. In-house she was a couch potato, but very protective. Unfortunately, my parents divorced and Byoux, that was her name, ended up with my mom. My dad and I lived 1 mile away. One night, she escaped from my mom's house and got run over, probably looking for me. I feel sick to this day, 20 years later. Best. Dog. Ever.

      @@indakgalak Basically yeah, of course it is trainable, just make sure it's pure breed. If it is a mix, I wouldn't get it, it's my personal opinion. This dog has to be stimulated daily, he needs at least 2-4 hours of exercise a day. If not properly handled the dog can become aggressive. So if Your husband works I am not sure if he is going to have enough time to work with the dog.
      But anyway, I understand why he loves this breed, I do too. They are very loyal. One more important thing is to know, who the parents of the puppy were. Were they from the working line, if so that means doggo is going to have a lot more energy.
      Take care! Regarding all of that, they are awesome.

      @@indakgalak hi, I don’t know what you ended up doing, but as a first dog, I wouldn’t recommend a malinois, especially not if you don’t really want pets and you are the one going to be home all day.
      The dog will love you to death (literally) but he will ask a lot of time and energy. If you know it’s not your thing, he’s going to annoy you and you’ll annoy him. That will result in an overcompensating behavior from him. Very likely biting furniture, shoes, whatever.
      Especially a puppy.
      For a first pet, I would recommend or an older dog, that has been trained and is already “ calmed”
      Or the more “ lazy “ dogs, they can be big or small.
      People love dogs, but when and how it suits them, that’s not how it works.
      A dog like a malinois needs attention and physical and mental stimuli. That means several walks a day and other challenges too. The dog doesn’t care if it’s warm or cold or raining...
      There are so many types of dogs that could fit you better and believe me I recommend you taking one, for you husband but also for you. You might not want pets, but you’ll end up loving them, trust me. But start with something easier to handle.
      And beware, all dogs need attention and a way to get their energy used. Good luck.

It's meant for bully breeds such as Staffys, APBTs, American Bulldogs, and another pitbull breed I forget. Game bred literally means it's meant to HOLD ON TO GAME AND NOT LET GO. In other words, you got an independent dog that thinks and acts on his own, nothing like a working line mal or GSD who was bred to please their handlers. Sure you can teach them a few tricks, but to claim they have the same level of obedience as a belgian mal is ludacris.

The handlers were excellent, and the dogs were beyond awesome. We would hit our target, the handler would open the door to the vehicle, the dog would hit the ground and move in a coordinated manner by what the handler yelled out. It was truely amazing watching this dog "grid work" before our troops hit the ground, and even after our 5-25's this dog found 3 buried explosives that would have wounded or killed our "boots on the ground" troops.

    100% on this. My brother trains with Police and SAR teams, had two GSD's, both from Czech working dog lines. There is a big difference between a dog breed from your local breeder and one from a working dog line. The latter can come with a bloodline that can sometimes go back over a hundred years, all bred for a specific purpose and they all come with an unbelievable amount of drive. His GSD's basically had two speeds: sleep and 110%, there was nothing in between. They are truly incredible animals BUT, as you said, its literally 24/7/365. My brother isnt married and has no kids and always said if a woman ever told him "its me or the dog", he'd send her packing. Sadly, all his dogs have passed and he has since stepped away from it because it literally dominated his life for about 20 years, but its an experience I always truly appreciated. Much respect to you as you probably have over 1000 hours into this dog.

    I've had an old retired police dog like this 20 years ago. She kept me safe while I was building cabins outside with my little brother. She didn't need a leash. You just called her 1, 2 times or you whistled and she would let you know she is there. We had the same place on the couch. We had daily battles about it. When she lost, she started mumbling like a cranky old lady. Every time I went to get something to drink or play, she took over the place on the couch. When I came back she always looked at me like "Don't you dare, mister!" These dogs have quite an excellent personality.

      I had six malis in my life and I currently own two of them. I also lead a dog school in Europe. Malis need a lot of time and daily training but ofc they are not energized 24h a day and they shouldn’t be energized 18h a day if the owner is holding the dog as he should. Usually they tend to sleep 18-20h a day. Training a Belgium Shepard has the same rules as other working dogs - less is more. If your dog is energized for 20h a day you should visit your local dog school to learn more about holding a malinois as obviously something is wrong and will affect his health.

Open the door and straight bolt to the cars, every time. The only way I could coax him away was playing fetch or swimming in the pond. Never seen commitment like that. What’s funny is we moved from the country to the city and my neighborhood is now riddled with squirrels. Poor guy.

Absolutely wonderful animals. When the clock would announce the specific times a day on which we would go to the forest, and you did not have your shoes yet ... she would get up from her place and would go nuts and bring you your shoes, all happy and up convincing you to put them on because it is time to go! Fantastic sparring partner as well, you could fight and play around but she would always know it was just a game. For people unknown to this breed it must have looked intense.
    Unbelievable work ethic, even in her late senior years. Best friend I ever had, and I still miss this dog dearly 15 years later.. As soon as I have the time to have one again I certainly will.

    As someone with a similar dog, GSD, they don't stop. Ours will outlast our crazy active lab. She keeps going, loves her squeaky ball. Working dogs are work. She tends to jump into the pool to cool off and be ready for more while the lab goes into the house and lays down where 2 vents intersect and doesn't want to get up.

    We have a 2 year old mali. He was a NIGHTMARE till about 18 months and then things started to change. Over the last 6 months he's become the most incredible solid trustworthy dog.
    A LOT of work has to go into them but it's so rewarding when you see the lights go on and he does his thing. He does man trailing twice a week and goes on a 5km run with us 3 times a week. He also goes for obedience training once a week. That's apart from the daily walks and bits of obedience work that I try to do as much as possible.

People see only success and they adore this dog obedience but they don't realise how much time and work malinois demands. And if you don't know what you are doing it's gonna be bad for you. My friends have german shepards and i had 2 before i had malinois and when someone says they are similiar to malinois. They are not, the most active german shepard i've seen isn't even close to my mal's drive. This is half dog- half machine :) Think few times before you get one or just get different dog because this one lives to work something.

So often people will approach me to remark how beautiful she is/remarkable/smart that they want one and I caution them the same as you ...are you ready to be "in training" for the next decade or more because the dog will never ever take a day off and will ALWAYS be on guard whether you are or not (which can particularly be a problem with Ovcharkas
      because of their extreme guardian instincts). No matter who you are and how well prepared you think you might be you should research the breed, even mix breeds before committing to it.

    • @elegantstrawberry
      @elegantstrawberry 7 років тому +2

      JULIA Dog lover I love livestock guardian dogs! My favorite breed is the Tibetan Mastiff and I maybe want to get one in the future. However, those kind of dogs are, like you said always on guard. You have to train them well and give them a purpose, i.e. give them a property to guard, so they can satisfy their instincts. Also those breeds aren't like shepherd dogs, they don't listen to every command you give them and that's what I personally don't want, so a livestock guardian dog is not exactly my type of dog. Sad, but I am being realistic :) People need to understand that you have adjust to the lifestyle of your dog not the other way around.

    • @juliadoglover9181
      @juliadoglover9181 7 років тому +1

      Yes Sofia Geros, so true. LGDs are fantastic if you can understand and deal with them not being like other dogs in some ways and like you said being able to adjust to your dog. With a defined place in the home and something to focus on as their responsibility, they are stable, intelligent, remarkable dogs. There is a video of a guy with a Caucasian, that he got because the breeder advertised that the dog had the stopping power of a 45 caliber hand gun - cant imagine what he thought he needed that level of protection from since he lived in a very nice house in the suburbs - the dog is just pulling him down the street chasing a car. Mine never did that because she was trained and understood her place and was very happy with that. That guy in the video clearly did not have control of the dog - the dog controlled him. That can happen very easily with LGDs like Caucasian and Tibetan Mastiff and that does not make for a happier dog, in fact it makes for an unhappier and unstable dog. The last thing you want is one of these unstable because they are ruthless killers if left to their own device and you can't fault the dog, that is no joke or exaggeration. The dog is only doing what it was breed to do. Glad to hear that you are being realistic about what kind of dog you are in the position to own as you will be happier with the dog you choose. Good luck!
