Belgian Malinois Breed Information

Belgian Malinois dogs were bred as herding dogs in the city of Malines in Belgian, from which they get their name. These dogs are hardworking, trainable, and obedient with strong protective and territorial instincts, which makes them the obvious choice for police work and guard dogs. But Belgian Malinois also make loving companions and family pets.

If you’re looking for Belgian Malinois puppies for sale nearby, here’s some important information you should know before you bring home a furry bundle of joy.

The Belgian Malinois is an intense, intelligent animal with high-energy and exercise needs. This breed can range widely in temperament and aggressiveness, so it is not the right breed for first-time pet owners. Only an experienced dog owner can meet the needs of this dog that stands 22-26 inches tall and weighs 40-75 pounds. Given their size, Belgian Malinois do require owners who can handle big dogs.

Another thing to keep in mind is that due to their high energy and exercise needs of at least 40-60 minutes a day, Belgian Malinois are not adapted to apartment living or living in cramped spaces. However, this breed is very adaptable to hot and cold weather and can thrive in most climates.

While affectionate with family members and kids, the Belgian Malinois is not particularly dog friendly. A Belgian Malinois dog is wary of strangers but will respond to people introduced by their owner.

The good news is that Belgian Malinois are low shedders and very low droolers. They are easy to groom and enjoy good general health. Their potential for weight gain is low, given that they are such active dogs.

If you dream of a highly obedient dog that follows your every command, the Belgian Malinois might be right for you. This is a very intelligent dog that’s easily trainable. However, Belgian Malinois do have a moderate prey drive and wanderlust potential, so early training is essential.
