Belgian Malinoit are lighter and smaller than German Shepherds, but tremendously athletic. They can jump amazing heights and distances.
They are great dogs and can be fearless. They seems a little less prone to some of the health problems of German Shepherds (hip displaysia, bloat, etc) which I would attribute to poor breeding practices but which are also the result of the size of the breed.
Malinoit = Malinois.
Check yer spelling.
Sheesh.
I’ve only met one Belgian Malinois “in person” and that was a K9 that an AF handler brought to do bomb investigations to an event where President Bush was appearing in 2004. He was a magnificent animal — just awesome. I never use the word awesome, but it is appropriate in this case. My husband and I were providing civilian “security” for the event. We were there early and had ample time to watch the AF lady and her dog patrol the perimeter.
