The detail
A Belgian herding dog now used worldwide by police and military units, the Malinois is bred for extreme drive, speed and focus. In the right hands it is a superb working partner; in a typical pet home it is usually more dog than anyone expected.
What to weigh
A Malinois needs hours of structured work every day and an experienced handler. Under-stimulated, it can become destructive, mouthy or reactive. Many end up in rescue after owners buy on looks alone.
