The K9 officer was a Belgian Malinois from Mexico who was very well behaved. His partner was a nice, young, local man who served in the Army before joining the Mint Hill police. The Cubs were impressed with both.
One of the TV personalities in Vegas had a Belgian Malinois, and she was a beautiful dog. The personality moved to Reno and got a job with the NV highway patrol as their public information officer. She was, back in her early days, a cheerleader for the Raiders, and I’ve kept in contact with her through our moves. Her dog “Anubis” died in December and Kim is still mourning her.
She was a beautiful dog! Solid black. And though she was old, deaf and arthritic, the last five years of her life were spent in being spoiled.
If I could get a larger dog, it would be the Malinois. Second choice, German shepherd.
