    Wow. That story about the guy bringing the dog back and Tasha’s response was very moving. If every breeder had her heart and integrity.....shelter problem solved! There is so much wrong in the world of dogs and dog breeding; thank you for sharing something so right.

    Robert - I know you probably won’t read this since it’s an old video. But thank you for spreading the word of responsibility in dog ownership. Too many dogs die because people don’t make responsible decisions. And unfortunately, with dogs, if you really don’t have to, you can negate your decision and give the dog up. I don’t have the traditional working dog, but I’m a serial pit bull (APBT and mixes) rescuer - on my fourth. And I preach the same thing. Because my preferred breed can (and historically has been) a danger without proper leadership and ownership, including the self admission that, despite how sweet your “pibble” might be, it’s bred to attack dogs. I hate especially the situation of pandemic dogs going to the shelter because people selfishly wanted to get a dog to meet their needs without meeting the dog’s needs. So thank you.

    It's amazing to me, as a casual pet owner, that there are people out there who really really care about the dogs they create and their well-being. It's really comforting to me that if or when I get a puppy from a breeder that there are breeders out there that care as much about dogs as you two! I won't be getting a malinois since they don't fit my lifestyle, but hopefully I can find a breeder as good as her for another breed!

    There are other great breeders like her for other breeds. You just have to do your research.. if you're interested in working line German Shepherd I recommend Just K9s or Schrauderhaus. The ladder puts out both High Drive dogs and more pet friendly active dogs. And the former puts out more pet friendly active dogs. But I don't know if you're into Shepherds. They are still high energy and require socialization because they can be dominant protective dogs.

    Great interview!! She’s awesome! This video made me feel very lucky to have grown up with a camp lejeune “reject” (gun shy) Mal, who -despite her breeding- was a really lovely family dog. Feel just as lucky to have my presently 2 year old Mal. She’s high drive, LOVES to work, not a big fan of strangers, but so good natured and gentle with our family- and warms up to others with time. I just love this breed. Thanks for all the great vids. Always enjoy your content!

    I will say as a person who learned her lesson the hard way and had an accidental litter of puppies that I could not keep all of unfortunately. To this very day I have nightmares about where my puppies might be because not everybody kept in touch with me and some fell off over the years. But I think you either have this burden on your heart or you don't. I myself did keep two puppies and they are accidents but, some very awesome confident dogs with great temperaments and a great overall disposition without being overly fearful or nervous as some pitbull mixes end up. The couple owners that do send update still have always raved about them being so lovable, playful and very easy to train. It probably helped that our female was obtained through a legitimate breeder whom we knew and she is a great dog. At 9 yrs old she is still going very strong but she's got her boys that keep her very busy even though they are grown now. The pic on my bubble is the three of them🥰

    Thanks for posting. I almost got a River puppy many years ago, but my life changed. River and ONeill were my favorite Mals. I had Belgians (Groenendael and Laekenois for 25 years) and now I have 2 Pyr Sheps as my retirement breed. They are more high drive than a Malinois if that's possible. LOL.

    I have a 11 month old male Malinois and I love him. He is very smart and family friendly but also protective. But I agree you have to have this breed a job to do and work with them. My dog live in the house and sleeps in his bed next to my bed. He is crate trained. Very smart dog.

    My bf and me got two puppy malinois. We did our research on the breed and we knew what we were getting ourselves into. We also had 4 other dogs, a pit Bull, a pitbull mastiff mix, Australian kelpie, ling hair chihuahua, and a Great Dane mix. We did get our pups from back yard breeders, I know, I know, I not the best. We found these dogs due to bf’s neighbor who had one. We got our puppies to protect our business and also as pets. We’ve been watching your vids and we know having two puppies from the same litter isn’t a great idea but we are willing to do what it takes to give them the best life they need. We are already working with a trainer who works with police dogs and other working breeds. We have the time and energy to give to these little ones. We also socialize our pups like crazy. Yes maybe that’s not a great idea if they will be “protecting a business” but we want our dogs to be good with our family, friends, children and other dogs, and pets. We have a boy and a girl and they each have such a distinct personalities. It’s really amazing to work with these dogs. We don’t recommend most people to get this breed unless they’re gonna commit their time for the next 10 years plus. We are. 🐶

    I like the question regarding preferred sex for working prospects. I used to always say get a male. But the last few years the malis, gsd I’ve assessed for service work the females are outdoing the males 10/1. I’ve literally just picked up my new 8week old GSD (female) to train up as my personal work dog. I actually found a breeder after months of dealing with liars & bad bred dogs I found a breeder who uses teikerhook lines. (I love these lines)

    A women owns a Belgian Milionis in my apartment complex. Very well trained and obedient. I've conversed with her a few times. I think she must spend her entire day caring for the dog. She works from home and it affords her the ability to care for her dog round clock. He's so high strung and intense that he's a headache to just watch. She takes him out 4-5 times a day including a a several mile run with bicycle. I see them in the morning as I'm driving out to work and at 7 am, this dog look like he's on crack cocaine.

    so what is the point, exactly? Nearly no one ever takes a dog through even 1 basic obedience class. And you have a reputable Malinois breeder as a guest? Think this over and all those dogs you helped in shelters and all those animal handlers you helped. Do NOT talk about Malinois dogs as 'pets' because they are NOT that for most everyone. Police and Military handlers use Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, and similar breeds for specific reasons. Not pets!

    I've had five Belgians in my life, never set foot in a training class yet and all five have been model citizens as pets. The breed is an excellent pet for people with active lifestyles and a basic understanding of how to shape a puppy into a good adult.

    The point is its my show. Tasha is not selling dogs she is talking about a breed that I love and many others do too. Malinois are not for everyone and neither are shelter dogs. If you watch the show you’ll see it a a great discussion among friends about dogs. My videos are to educate and entertain. People have a choice to watch or tune out. I make videos I like to watch. Simple as that.
