High upkeep, very active and intelligent dogs. They will go crazy if you do not exercise their body and mind enough.
I have two Belgian Malinois. Both are rescues. I paid $200 for one of them and the other I got for free. They are intelligent, high energy dogs. They need jobs. One of mine is a narcotics dog and is on contract. The other is trained to do Search and Rescue tracking. They can get needy, clingy, and destructive if not mentally and physically exercised. Shelters and rescues are full of Belgian Malinois because people either back yard breed them and dump the pups they can’t sell, or they get a puppy and don’t realize you can’t kennel them for 12 hours a day while you are at work.
