Charakter

Malinois Hund

The Belgian Malinois is one of four Belgian Sheepdogs. It is a very smart and obedient dog, serious and watchful with strong protective and territorial instincts. Some are very shy or sensitive. This breed needs extensive socialization from an early age, and firm, but not harsh, training from an experienced master.

If you are harsh or overbearing they will become uncooperative. Breeders should socialize puppies right from birth. They are good for working and competition obedience, make excellent police and guard dogs. They do however, make excellent pets. They are ever-watchful, alert and loyal, and they thrive on loving companionship.

This breed is good with children if socialized well with them and needs to be part of the family and NOT locked up in a kennel. They have a lot of energy and needs a job to do. Generally this dog gets along well with children, but they can be rather dominant toward other dogs. Provided they are correctly socialized with cats and other pets, they should not present any problems. This is a very demanding dog, needs an experienced owner.
