Have you just gotten a new puppy? Here are some of the things you'll need to train yourself with.
Oftentimes mistaken as the German Shepherd, the Belgian Malinois is lighter-boned and more stylish in build. A medium-to-large-sized dog, this breed weighs between 60.5-63 pounds, and stands 22-26 inches.
Coat
The coat of a Belgian Malinois is straight, lengthy, and plentiful. Acceptable colors for this breed are all shades of fawn, gray, red, with black overlap.
Activity
The Belgian Malinois require as much exercise as owners could possibly provide them. Highly energetic, this breed needs extra activity than just the regular walks around the block. They are skillful in almost all the dog sport they involve themselves in. While they may appreciate being indoors with their owners, they'd like it better playing outside. In walking the Belgian Malinois, it is advisable that they are always on leash, as they tend to chase other small animals, which they recognize as prey.
Temperament
The Belgian Malinois is among the four Belgian sheepdogs. They are intelligent, amenable dogs with strong territorial and protective instincts. This breed is a highly obedient, hard working, attentive, reserved, and very active; although if not given enough physical and mental stimulation, they may become mischievous and destructive. Although they are usually very alert, the Belgian Malinois is perhaps less snappy than their relative counterparts.
