In this video Danny Craig of Temple of the Tree Kennels shares his love and knowledge of his breed he has dedicated his life.
The Belgian Malinois (pronounced MAL-in-wah) is a Belgian shepherd of medium size. At first glance the Malinois resembles a German Shepherd Dog.
Developed in Malines, Belgium, Malinois have a great deal of stamina and truly enjoy working. They are highly intelligent and very active dogs. The Malinois excels at many tasks. In addition to herding, they also do well with police work, search and rescue, and in performance events, such as agility.
People who are not familiar with the Malinois often confuse them with the German Shepherd Dog (GSD), but there are significant differences in the body structure and temperament of the two breeds. Malinois are smaller dogs with lighter bones. They stand with their weight well on their toes, which gives them a square body profile, while today's GSD has a long, sloping back and carries his weight flatter on his feet.
Malinois are fawn-colored, red, or brown, and the tips of their hair are black, while the GSD is usually tan with a black saddle. Additionally, the Malinois has a more refined, chiseled head that the GSD and smaller, more triangular ears.
Many think that the Malinois is more alert and quicker to respond than the GSD. They're also very sensitive dogs that don't respond well to harsh training methods. Some Malinois are friendly and assertive, but others are reserved and aloof with strangers. They should never have a fearful or aggressive temperament. Because of their energy level and sensitivity, Malinois are recommended only for people who have previously owned dogs and have experience with dog training. Malinois are very intense dogs who like to be included in all of the family activities. They aren't well suited for people who work long hours or must travel often, leaving their dog at home.

RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS WILL BE REMOVED!!!
I do not agree with the title, Mals have their own spirit and it's nothing like a pit bull.
You didn't write the title so that's cool. I"d suggest you open your mind and see how the breeds are similar in their approach to work. I've talked with several Belgian Malinois trainers and they make the comparison between the two breeds.
Then why aren't Pit bulls used like the Belgium Malinois for police work & guardian work. You know why they are much easier to train & will obey the commands much better.
Dogumentary TV I
Dogumentary TV when he says pitbull.is used in the bloodline how is used cause I can't see pitbull features ? just curious as to how Danes and pits are bred in
This guy was one of my teachers in high school and he never stopped talking about his dogs. They’re amazing !
Seems like a nice man, he has a lot of knowledge :)
I wish i will be able to once get a Malinois a chocolate Lab showdog and a Black Lab field dog. Now i have a field lab/pitt mix and she is adorable and a really good teacher and companion to me. Im really happy with this guys mentality, im always arguing with my father about this as he is a classic pure breed means pure, and im like fck your pure if it means sick and weak, thankfully my neighbour has an aussie shep.and he is of the same mind i am so we tried to breed our two dogs so we get a nice strong brave athletic multi purpose dog, so he can guard the house, the animals of.the house and people but still be good for hunting, that can either work alone or in group and enjoys the outdoors just as much as cuddling indoors. Because our dogs are just like that and those are their strong traits so its highly likely they will transfer them on their litter. They get along swimmingly and mine just feels like a motherly type of dog so we decided we would try this out, keep most of the litter for ourselves and see if we can make them work according to our needs. We were all 3 (neighbour has waifu) trained by professionals and can enlist their help at any time, and im not only talking about normal trainers, we have a few police friends in our local k9 unit, we have vets that are dog owners in our dogplay group, professional trainers etc so they are really well off as well as they seem to be in love with each other as they really enjoy eachothers company and work very well one off the other and are both really healthy and active.
Teaches dogs, teaches humans.. nice
@@weedhigh2564 yeah, that is a great idea. My pit and aussie shep mix was the best farm dog we could ask for. She could herd and babysit livestock. All I wanted is just a little retriever in her to make her perfect. She could retrieve doubles and triples, loved water, had the mind of a retriever but not the mouth!
How are you doing today?
Dogs are big commitment. It’s always best to choose the same match in temperament as your lifestyle.
Very true
My family has a Belgian. She's actually a lap dog, it could be situational since she had been abandoned and was nearly 40 lbs. when we found her. That could be why she's so clingy and sweet, and she's basically been a therapy dog for me. They are deeply emotional dogs that know when you are sad and will lick you until you giggle. She's the best dog we've ever had, most loyal and amazingly intelligent and intense dog I've known. I can't stop praising this breed, they truly are like smaller healthier German Shepherds on steroids. It's a shame that she wasn't utilized as a working dog.
Jess Gaines , if you truly believe that It is shame your dog was not utilised for work then you have let your dog down , for you could easily have put even basic work challenges in place .
You dog sounds like mine, abandoned female, petite and sweet. Everything you said. I know she takes her job of being my best buddy very seriously.😊
You have already given her a job, but can continue to train and develop her mind. I need to do that more with my watchdog.
"They love to work" both my dogs are flunked police dogs because they didn't work 😂😂
Manda Reynolds wouldn’t that mean they are terribly bred?
Ḩᾱrvest maybe mine but most malinois I’ve seen are very well trained and seem like they love the work
Manda Reynolds ah
Ḩᾱrvest No, not necessarily. Many breeders readily admit that possibly only one pup from a litter could perform at a high level for police work or sport. And even then it takes the right combination of trainer and dog to make a truly great dog.
Jordan Smith oh okay
I used to own both pit and GSD, they are all passed away due to their age limit.....now im owning a mali, I gotta say the title is kinda true.....my Mali posseses the inteligence of GSD with the energy of Pitbull....he reminds me of both of them when they were still alive....now Im always taking my Mali for evening stroll after long day in the office....his intelligence and strength really put a smile into my face after long day at work....getting a little bit hard to keep the leash with all the energy he has....specially when he sees a squirrel, or just "barking trash" with the neighbor corgis.
My 61/2 year old male is civilized most of the day if he gets his morning run alongside the farm ATV for 25-30 minutes at a long trot. And most evenings he wants to go for another 10-15 run!!!
I have my first Malinois now, but have owned several German Shepherds. I just want to say that as they’re definitely all the descriptions as these well educated breeders have described, they’re also very loving, sweet, and loyal dogs. My young female cuddles me every night.
malanois' are amazing dogs but they are extremely high energy and will run 90% of owners into the ground so if you don't have open space and alot of time to exercise do not torture this dog with lots of hours of inactivity. I made that mistake and it still hurts my heart
cody ralston it’s okay brother. At least you know now. Nothing ever wrong with trying to give any dog a loving, caring home. You’re a good person for that.
u prolly wee jus a bad owner
I got one as a puppy and had zero idea what I was dealing with. I’ve had many many dogs and cats and kids NO PROBLEM!!! My boy had severe separation anxiety and was nonstop energy and full of mischief. I was afraid to put him in the car for fear of him ripping it to shreds if I left him alone. He hated the leash. He chewed his way out of his crate. I could not have asked for a smarter,more loving and loyal dog but it was EXHAUSTING!!!! My neighbor called the animal control on me for one reason or the other. When I finally decided to relinquish Willy, the lady at the animal shelter said I was waiting for you to call. She said I was the one that came to your home. She said do you know that your dog is a Malinois? The animal shelter is run by the police department. She told me she wanted to keep Willy. Anyway, Willy has been relinquished the police department where they’re going to neuter him, give him all the shots, clip his nails, and then place them in a good home where they can handle a Malinois. I knew he was a working dog before she told me. I didn’t know about this breed. Ironically, I watched John Wick three last night. They use melon Walla dogs in that movie. What’s the irony? I’ve never seen them before. Anyway please, anyone who wants one of these dogs should not get them if their family. These dogs are working dogs they need to be worked 4 to 5 times a day. And then there’s still not gonna be tired. They will love you with all their heart. Mine never showed any aggression. He was sweet, gentle, loyal and needed my attention 24/7. He is sadly missed but they are going to find him a good home where he can WORK!!!
@@jahlonburruss1906 that was my point I was not a good owner for that dog
I understand why you tried don't hate yourself
I've had a Belgium for almost 5 years, having purchased her at 2 years. She was amazingly trained, in fact over trained for my needs.
I am in a wheelchair and I use her as a Service Dog. While I chose not to keep up on some commands, like taking down stranger, she has expanded some. Her retrieval, for me a huge dependence, has increased. Not just from a ball being thrown, but dropping my keys, money and more. She taught herself to pull the clothing out of the washer and dryer. But, she will not put it in, nor will she fluff or fold..
She throws my boots at me if I do not dress fast enough. She allows for no time to talk to clerks, once money is exchanged she is wanting out the door.
She tolerates people coming out of nowhere to touch her or me. There is a constantt battle of who is leading who. She does work off lead. I had fo purchase a treadmill. Her demand for activity is far beyond my physical abilities. Service Work is by it's nature, hurry to get somewhere, best manners. Lay still for sometimes hours, then hurry to go somewhere. In and out of cars, aware of traffic in parking lots. Much much more.
Initially I was hesitant to get this breed. Now, I hope I beat her to the end. She truly wants to please and work for it.
I have a Belgian malinois Dutch shepherd mix, she's amazing.
Our malinois listens so well, very focus and is very active when we are outside the house. Inside the house, he is very relax, follows us everywhere to know what we are doing, and likes to cuddle. To us, Ozzy is a perfect family dog.
How long do you play with him outside and what activities do you do with him?
I APPROVE OF THE BELGIAN MALINOIS
Amen. That is why I bought a Malinois X German Shepherd male puppy. The mother was the German Shepherd. My neighbour bought a Kusa registered Malinois same age . My dog is almost a third bigger than him. Two totally different personalities. I do not care about papers I care about my dog. What a fantastic dog. I was fortunate to get him. He is 12 weeks old and do not shy away for any noises. The first night I had him when he was 8 weeks old, he lied in the doorway, ears up and guarding!!! I love Akivah and love training him. We stay on a plot on South Africa and all my doors are open. I refuse to lock myself up.
But locking up can also help protect the dog too, though. It can buy you a little time to get your guns and flashlight.
Love my Tabitha she is a Belgian Melonas she was abandoned at a RV park she is about 1 years old and she is so precious, she follows me everywhere I go ,she Protects me ,and she is really great doggie. I am blessed to have her. And she is so spoiled.
breeding for health is my favourite thing. continue your great work sir
I just adopted a 10 month old Belgian Malinois and he is amazing! They are so smart and want to please all the time which is helpful when it comes to training. He is incredibly athletic and can leap crazy high-boy do they have a lot of energy! Also he likes to "herd" his pack and keep us all together or within eyesight. He always stays close to us which is priceless when it comes to wandering off etc. I can't wait to see what we can do together in the years to come!
I actually own a Belgian malinois, and i can say that she is very playful. She likes to "hug" visitors, and gets wound up very easily. Only two toys have ever survived the wrath of her teeth. However, she is loving, smart, and very easy to train. Due to being playfully being bitten and tackled, i've grown immune to her attacks.
i love my belgian malinois puppy always energetic every single day..
My god they are so majestic
She seems so dedicated and her dog so happy. She is knowledgeable and that makes for a happy dog, physically and emotionally
My Mal came from some average breeder...he was the runt, almost a year old and only 56lbs. The father was 70 and mother 60. So unknown breeder but with solid training, he is becoming such an amazing dog. He is my service dog and trains weekly. Love this breed.
Custodians of the breed... that is the best thing I’ve heard in a long time 🙌🏼🐺🇺🇸
New bloodlines should be introduced into the Pure Breeds from time to time anyway... Thanks for posting !!
I grew up with this breed! But as a house pet then! Well, nog in the house, they had a really big outside csage with a wooden house (even we could walk in it)---- They are such great dogs!!! Our last one we got out of a shelter, she couldn't be sweeter!!! you could just take their mouths in your hand without being difficult!!! I really miss her... she would always run a circle around me and lay in the grass for a belly rub when I got outside in the yard :D And even though we got her as a pet, not a working dog, I always thought she had a great posture, and I love the muscles in these dogs!! --- I really miss her though
and what I always loved about her.. she had a really pale color!!! most are on a dark side. But ours was really light colored :)
So many great breeders on "Dogumentary TV", but this fella, and his philosophy, is my favorite.
I agree totally in what hr says.My 'OGD' , old german shepherd, came from Germany and became from a breeder who crossbred with malinois and Germans few generations before. This breeder was known in my club to have the most dogs with what seems genetically protective based characters.In the first week I went with Mex to school/club, it was immediatrly obvious....probably one of the most stable and fast learning pups they ever seen. Some firemen who also did search and rescue, asked me to go in practise with them.From 6months old, all basics were already covered and we went to search and rescue aswell as biting/protective training. Just to say, mine hasn't have any 'official' libe but camr from a known workingline bred with other breeds, just to preserve the pure character. He does however has a long doublecoat and a floppy ear, but a perfect bite, outstanding bonestructure, no 'flaws' what so ever on the health part. And training...well super easy and everyone in any school i visit immediately notice it.Just a great advise this man gives, don't mind 'standards', mind health, mind character....let a dogbreed progress!
Fantastic video, the guy does a great interview and I like his breeding philosophy. My favorite video so far keep up the great work Zeke.
One thing I notice with my Malinois, she's not scared of firecrackers unlike with other dogs. She is one good guard dog for she can hear or detect even the slightest sound/s. My mal is indeed very active and yes a little nervy especially when you touch her all of a sudden that's why I always hug her and kiss her. I'm not sure if she was abused when she was a puppy, we got her when she was 4 months old. I always give her a toy or something she could bite on that would give her something to focus on. She loves to play especially the tug of war. She's one year old now and although she has destroyed most of my stuff, I still love my mal.
This is not unique to Mals. It depends on the Dog and its stability. I've owned dogs my whole life including purebred Mals, x Mals wl GSD x Mal, and mini American Eskimos and most of my dogs from not afraid of fireworks. Only dogs with high neuroticism were afraid
belgian malinois is my favorite dog ever! he s the perfect dog top high level
absolutely admire these dogs they are so amazing. I don’t think I could ever own one knowing the amount of work they require but I love seeing them run and jump, it makes my heart skip a beat!
Thankyou For This It's Greatly Appreciated. ...Watching This While My Mal Runs Back AND Forth ....
Big respect in the end for recommending the larger kennels, its really to your credit.
I have two malinois and I love them, they are extremely intelligent and protective!! very loyal to their owners
Very informative video, and I highly respect the honesty that was said in video!
Great presentation around the Malinois as well as very honest
Thank you
I enjoyed it very much
Great job Zeke very informative!!
great advice thanx. i have a mali and he is simply the most amazing athlete I've ever seen
6:20 missile mode engaged. Holy absolute hell what a beast.
Wonderful interview. Very informative.
great video and really well cut!
I absolutely love your style of training! I have seen the brutal training that some of these mals have been put through and it breaks my heart cause they are great sensitive dogs! Active for sure and ya gotta be on your toes! There is one up for adoption at the Camden DE SPCA that's 3 yrs old..... I really want to go meet him--- Wish me luck!!!
I adore my Malinois of joy.....
I have a KNPV Malinios from holland, he weights 84 pounds with no fat on him, his dad and brothers a being used for bite work by the police, i got to see the KNPV papers of his dad when i bought him as a pup but no pedigree papers. Working malinios or Mechelse Herders as we call them in Holland are all atleast above 75 pounds so they can take a man down easier. also they are verry aggresive against anything or anybody not part of the family, they are the best protection and guard dogs in my eyes
Nick Diaz mixes better sometimes
Also have a KNPV line Mal and he's 86# of pure muscle and drive. Amazing dog. Hits decoys like a train, jumps no problem and puts his heart into everything he does. Absolute monster of a Malinois. Doesn't like strangers and is very territorial, super beefy and muscular people don't even think about robbing my house.
The knpv is a bigger boned..just bigger mal. Mine will be of Mexico lines from sire side. Which makes pups dark sable coats and more light boned.
Thank you for the video
Always wanted to see these dogs thank you
Very informative. Thanks for posting this I learned a lot.
One of the best Malinois videos I've seen. Thanks
Great video. Tons of information. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this video! I have a Chow Mal and this video has helped me to understand my big beautiful boy much better! He does get nervy with strangers and although he is improving at least now understand what is happening when it happens and can act accordingly.
Just got mine , he is awesome at 12 weeks already!!!
Thanks so much for all your wisdom and sharing it with us. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
great video!! thank you sir
Good Job Dan!!
Trying to learn. Thank you so much
Now here is a true dog guy
Keep up the good work Enjoy
Great Video Thanks
this guy knows his stuff. great video
Great tips. Respect.
you treat your mal's like I treat mine, they sleep on my bed too lol 😂 I love it! they in my eyes are i
I tescued a Malinois/GSD mix from the local shelter. It has been a journey I couldnt have foreseen, but I immersed myself into everything Malinois and now she and I have found a happy medium. Now the leash-pulling is another story.
Real knowledgeable man
Guys check out where you’re getting your dog. I found my Mali GSD mix online and I found she had underbite and a heart condition after I got her. She passed away at 4 months old. She had the best personality and lived a very happy life and made many dog friend. RIP Hazel.
I really love Belgian malinois
They are loyal and very protective yet cuddly on their owners
Best dog video I've seen on youtube
Great channel!
Great video
Awesome video!
your such a tough guy it's nice to see that you also have a heart so nice
Thank you great info ...
Congratulations,,, Excellence video
Best dogs ever, mine are on Squirrel duty, chasing and catching them all day, every day.
Big thumbs up for the positive reinforcement
They are the Captain America of Dogs. Super Soldiers.
True on size, my friend got a Dutch from "top" American lines "pure" he is male but on a good day is 40 pounds she was so bummed, she wanted a protection dog. Mine is a so called Western Shepherd a mix of German Shepherd, Malinois and Dutch, the mix is good sized with unreal athletic ability and drive, much healthier than my German Shepherd
Just curious where you got your Western Shepherd from because I see a lot of Malinois and Dutch Shepherd breeders advertising their dogs as purebreds and even some of them have papers, but they are clearly a mix of working line German Shepherd and sometimes even American Pitbull Terrier or mastiffs and then bred back because these larger head types and more size you cannot get from a pure Mal or Dutchie. Just like Danny Craig said, they have to out cross for size and improving genetics. Many so-called Malinois and Dutch Shepherd breeders of the working lines get extremely offended if you bring this up, but a rare few are honest and they will say yes, they do have German Shepherd in their lines or they do have this in their lines
Awsome video please make more like this! THank you for posting!
There hundreds of videos like this on my channel.
Just found your channel honestly the best I've seen!
I got a 4 1/2 month old malawa from Mohawk Malinois in Kentucky, and I pretty much have to protect him from himself. Full steam ahead, and loves the skateboard.
Excellent Ethics, and info . thought provoking.
Wise talk from a working breeder: open registries and breeding for the job!
I felt in love with this dogs
Gosh I LOVE the MALINOIS 💓
The first dog that appears in the video is more a Tervuren(Tervuren is a Malinois with long hairs)than a Malinois.There s 4variety of Belgian herders(Malinois,Tervuren,Groenendal wich has long black hairs,and Laekenaar that have hard hairs.).It s a very close cosin(nearly a brother) of the Dutch herder(shepherd)wich exists also in 3varietys(shorthairs,long and hard).I m from Belgium and i used to practice Belgian ring(NVBK type).
I agree it does have more Terveren in him but remember that they are technically the same breed in Europe just four different varieties where is the United States began separating them into four different breeds. Also, that Terveren if it comes from working lines which it does likely has other breeds in it as well
Awesome video
Great video.
I love this dog. I even have one
YES I BEEN WANTING THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG AND ITS THE BEST
Charlie And Lola nope
Tiny The Gsd you don't know what your talking about these dogs are great
very informative video and an extremely knowledgable speaker.
Great argument at 03:11! Totally agree! Good video!
And this is the best friendship one will ever have #Belgian #Malinois ⚠
great info..we just got a Malinois..
The kennel club is a disgrace and a shambles anyway, it should be abandoned or someone should start a new one with more modern standards that are healthier for the dogs.
Agreed, if you breed for health and working ability, you automatically get good looking dogs anyway.
I agree a good example is the great dane the difference from the USA breed & european & german. USA breeds live on average 7-10 yrs the German & Eurpean breed will live 12-14 yrs. They are bigger boned & much steardier & healthier dog.
Matt Fontwell which kennel club are you talking about?
He's probably talking about the American Kennel Club
I agree!
My mal is mixed with Siberian husky. When she plays with border collie the collie gets tired and she still has a lot of energy left. She's the best dog I ever had.
Great info. You hit it when you said these dogs are crossbred. I have a long haired Mal and some say that isn't a mal .My mal looks just like of some of yours in the vid. Thank you God Bless
Fantastic interview! Always thought that the Mal in Europe was mixed up as they are not showdogs and can definitely imagine that other breeds are once in awhile mixed into the lines to improve/refresh the working lines (focus on other qualities than looks), as Malinois can look very differently of each other. Grew up with and around Malinois' (I live in Netherlands) and agree that these dogs seem very healthy compared to other breeds. Again, great video!
Mostly positive reinforcement, way to go!
amazing dog
Im going to buy one my friend has one and what i saw of this dog is amazing
I could listen to this guy talk about dogs all day long.
Mals are a medium sized breed.
Why would he want them to be the size of a GSD?
That would just slow them down.
Their petite size and structure is what gives them their speed.
Breeding them up would just lead to size related problems.
Kelsie LeCrone I have an 80 pound female and she can keep up with my Vizsla. My Vizsla can run about 40mph for an extended period of time. She can keep up but doesn’t have the same endurance to run that fast for extend periods of time like my Vizsla.
Even at 50/60 pounds for a ladge male thats still a medium dog... german shepherds should be well above that.
I think that if you have 0 experience with the breed, you should probably not comment an opinion. These dogs are insanely athletic. With your logic, horses should be slow as shit lol.
Agreed...but petite ? Lol
you are dumb
the dog is man's best friend !!!
