Belgian Malinois Anyone?

    Belgian Malinois Anyone?

    I have a Mali, Knox von Stahlrosenhof aka Knox, and a little girl Mallory von Stahlrosenhof aka Mallory is on the way here. We are also getting a mal named Sirius that we are fostering this weekend. And on June 20th our sweetest little (ok, old)  girl Mohabicht Perle de Tourbiere  aka Mo was put to sleep from a cancerous wound on her elbow.

    Mallory will be my new competition dog. I will be working on Obedience and tracking, then agility and schutzund. My goal is to be the second [size="3"]junior handler to get the VCD1 title. What fun!


    YAY MALS!

    I have two belgians:  a male tervuren and a female malinois.

    I have one that came to us via mal rescue.  She's DH's agility dog.  For some reason he got tired of being blown off by the tri-ing badsenji.

    I had a chance to work with a litter of malinois at the shelter a while back. They were very smart! They learned everything so quickly! They were also VERY sensitive to your mood, they could tell when you were down or happy! They were a neat breed that I would not mind working with again!

    I don't have one, but I think they're beautiful dogs. I adore all 4 Belgian varieties and am hoping to have one of my own withing the next 3 years or so, probably a Tervuren or a Groenendael though. Mals are beautiful, but they don't have enough coat for people who are grooming obsessed such as myself.

    Whenever my dad gets mad at me and knox is around, you could see him start to pace. the moment he's start to speak, knox would snap bark and growl at him! It cracks us up!

    Ahhhhh. Trust me on this, they have PLENTY of fur to be brushed! I brush Knox twice a day, but to no avail he still sheds[>:]

    Haha...yeah, the do have enough coat to shed and it is pretty thick but I prefer lots of coat like that of the Terv or Groen.

    I  absolutely love the Belgians. I don't have a Mal but I do have a Tervuren that is sharp as a tack and has completely stolen my heart [;)]
     
    Orangedog, I too am a long coat lover. And I love the Terv's colouration.

    So not all Belgian Mal's have no stop?  There's one at agility class and she has no stop, very odd looking IMO....  nice dog, smart too.  Maybe it's her constant need to kill Kota that I dont' find attractive... and her owner's choice of yelling at her not to bark at Kota...  hmmm... and I thought Kota had issues...

    All belgians should be moderate in all aspects.  Unfortunately, some folks are moving beyond that idea of moderation in what they breed.  So we have lost shoulder lay back, bone and substance as well as other things.  There should be a moderate stop.  As to the woman's approach, not all people are equipped to deal with belgian brains.

    where are you getting it from? We got all of our mals (except Sirius, he's a rescue) from [linkhttp://www.stahlrosenhof.com/]http://www.stahlrosenhof.com[/link] Stahlrosenhof Kennels. Knox is sired by Funk to Funky Perle de Tourbiere. The moment he was conceived, he was famous from his sire. I personally don't care if he's famous. He's great how he is. Even if he is a [sm=evilfire.gif]

    Oh, and his dam is Kira.
