Hi Jan! They are fantastic dogs. We are used to raising high energy dogs as we’ve always had Dalmatians. These Mals are prob the best breed we’ve ever owned. We’re moving to Alaska in just over a month where they will have 15 acres & a pond for their back yard! Looking fwd to life with the new pups (we went back & bought his brother also). ♥️♥️

I had a Maliniois 22 yrs ago. Back when almost no one else had one. Mine was the only one at the three different dog parks I would take her to. Loved her, she was awesome.

Your Puppy shows very promising. I had a similar dog in the Special Forces. I trained him with my own System. 80 Commands with voice and signs in 4 Languages and a secret Language. We got shot, stabbed, kicked and all. We did it all. There is no greater Bond and joy as a dog who has a real reason to exist and has an important role to play. No deeper Love and Friendship as well. Your Dog may be such an Asset in Alaska, for fun but security reasons too.

Congratulations on the new Mal baby! Please remember that mental stimulation is almost more important than physical exercise. Dogs aren't truly protective naturally, it's actually reactivity. These dogs can be amazing protectors with the proper training. I hope you have lots of fun raising your new baby! They're honestly my favorite breed hands down. Maybe I'll get to see you guys eventually as i also have 2 Malinois's and live in Alaska!

Beautiful Mal. We have a 6.5 year old Belgian Malinois mix (heavy on the Malinois) named Molly. Got her when she was 10 weeks old. Greatest dog ever. High energy. Very protective. Went through three levels of obedience training with her. Very good dog.

I had a Dutch Shepherd that was four months old too when I first got him. I remember my first reaction when I picked him up, and it was like yours. I expected a puppy but got a DOG! Being a Dutchy, he was dark-brindle, almost black and his whole demeanor was intimidating, to say the least. At four months! He turned into a massive animal and the most exciting dog I've ever encountered. Dutch Shepherds and Malinois aren't the "same", but both have that aura of "don't mess with me" and my Dutchy was scarily intelligent. He died at nearly 16 and I've never had another dog like him. I did consider a Malinois, hoping he might be a little less intense, but ended up with two Staffordshire Bull Terriers in a row. Can't say I ever regretted that. Staffies are a lot of dog in a small(er) package!

Just gotta luv those magnificent ears!! 😍

I love these dogs I have had two both have passed....best dog ever and super loyal to family. You must train them as they need jobs to do and make sure they know commands in order to control them as they are super smart, and they need major exercise to keep them out of trouble. Do not leave anything on the floor you do want the puppy to chew up I used to do long walks, and major play catch and ball. The longer they are with their mom healthier the dog, most dogs are taken away from their mom too early. Great he loves the water not all dogs do.

Seeing this makes me miss my Belgian... I got her as an outdoor dog, but the first night she scratched at the backdoor because she was cold and lonely. The next today, i put a dog door on a brand new insulated screen door. And she could come and go at will... She lived a highly active and long life. That was over 30 years ago, and today, I have a German Shepard simply because Belgians are so active and high energy. An example is while my Shepard will play ball for 30 minutes. My Belgian would never stop playing. So much to the point she always had a ball in her mouth. And now, at my age, I wouldn't be able to keep up with her... A truly remarkable and wonderful animal. I have been a dog lover all of my life and had a lot of different types. All dogs are great, and their is no such thing as a bad dog. Just bad owners. Dogs are truly mankind's best friend.

@@user-cd5up9ph3y same here. As a matter of fact, most of the contracted canines police and military are X malinois X herders. The Dutch don't really admit it, they keep their secrets to themselves, but people in the know know that the working dogs for Patrol specifically are a combination of dutch, belgian, and working line German shepherd. Sometimes they will even outcross with apbt and other Mastiff breeds. Then they will breed back. Fawn is dominant so the dog can look like a Malinois, unless breeding Sable to sable, but they will have more muscle tone, larger heads and larger chest cavities, and a little more stability not as nervy. That's from the working line German shepherd. But they still retain the agility of the Dutch or Mal. Recent stud dog in the Netherlands was outcross to a Presa Canario and then they will breed back. Them people think they'll have a purebred Malinois one day when they come to the states with puppies and it's far from it. Doesn't mean they're mutts, they're very selectively bred working dogs primarily from the shepherd breeds and sometimes extra. For SAR yes, they can use purebreds because they don't need the added size and seriousness that they need for Patrol. Detection is a tossip it can be anything between a purebred working line German shepherd, malinois, or the X herders like I just described. I like them because purebred Malinois are wonderful but they're just a little bit too nervy hyper and too fine boned for my taste, too narrow of muzzles. I think the working line German Shepherd brings great stability, off switch, size and incredible looks. No show lines though! I just wish they would be more specific because lots of people think that the Malinois the only dog used and it's really a Shepherd mix that is used

I always worry about him missing their mom or their brother or sisters but dang that only lasted just for a short minute and then he was right there with the family. “This is my new family now.”😆 I went to see where you also got Bradley, I can’t find that video. Do you have another video of that? And if you could point me in the right direction. thank you hon. I have really enjoyed watching these two dogs Bradley and gunner together with your family in Alaska they absolutely love it there . anyway, thank you sweetie and have a great day.👊💖

We actually didn’t have a video dedicated to getting Bradley. But we did introduce him on this video towards the end!kzread.info/dash/bejne/loSstc6KZczHops.html I’m very happy we went back & got Bradley. They are literally BFFs. And being up here on open land like this, it’s nice they have each other as companions!☺️
