Belgian Malinois - Multi-talented Dog

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Belgian Malinois Dog“Mo”

   The Belgian Malinois is a multi-talented dog. It is employed in all sorts of work including guarding, tracking, narcotics and bomb detection, herding, cart and sled pulling, and search and rescue!

   The Belgian Malinois is a herding breed. It is very hardy and energetic, and is wildly popular in its native country of Belgium.
The Malinois is one of four types of Belgian Sheepdogs. These were each developed from other working dogs, and all are very skilled at herding.

   Although the Malinois was not bred as a pet, it can make a very good one. It loves being treated like part of the family. It is very loyal and loves children.
It is also very protective, making it a great guard dog.
Exercise caution when it is around other pets and watch for a dominant behavior towards other dogs. Good socialization when it is young will surely help it get along with other family pets.
