About the Belgian Malinois

The Belgian Malinois originated in the city of Malines, Belgium in the late 19th century. The breed was developed as a herding dog and was used by farmers to control and manage their herds. Over time, the breed became known for its high level of intelligence, trainability, and loyalty, making it a popular choice for police and military work.

In the early 20th century, the Belgian Malinois was recognized as a separate breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and was used extensively in World War I and World War II as a military and police dog. The breed was also used as a search and rescue dog, sniffer dog, and guide dog. Today, the Belgian Malinois remains a popular choice for police and military work, as well as for personal protection, obedience training, and agility competitions. The breed is known for its high level of energy, enthusiasm, and need for regular exercise and mental stimulation, making it an ideal choice for active families and individuals.

Malinois are a part of 4 separate breeds of Belgian Shepherd. The other breeds in the Belgian Shepherd group are the Belgian Tervuren, Belgian Laekenois and Groenendael


Belgian Malinois Health & Genetics

Belgian Malinois are a strong and energetic breed of dog with a lifespan of around 14 years. They are generally healthy dogs but are prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and skin allergies. It's important to screen for these conditions before breeding to minimize the chance of passing them on to offspring. Belgian Malinois also have a high prey drive and require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to maintain their physical and psychological health. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet can help ensure the overall well-being of a Belgian Malinois. However, genetics play a significant role in a dog's health, so it's essential to purchase from a responsible breeder who does their due diligence with proper pedigree research and also screens their breeding stock for common health issues.
