Our local police department recently acquired their second K9, also a Belgian Malinois. Apparently, they are less expensive, slightly more alert than the Shepherd, so less expensive to train. At least that’s what the officers told us at a meeting.
See #11. I misspelled your screen name. **blush**
My trainer here in TX trains the police dogs for TX and he raises the Belgian breed. They are hyper; but very good dogs.
