GSDs can surprise you with their abilities. They can themselve adapt to understand your day to day words. They can sit down under your table or next to you or near door when you do your office work. They act as a actual guardian when you take them out for walk, and mostly become less reactive until trained for otherwise. Their instinct are just next level. They know someone approach you with bad intentions. Their hearing is superhuman, their smell sense is superhuman. If there ever existed a perfect dog breed that can be used for literally any purpose, they are GSD.
My GS just turned 5 months old..he has literally invented a pinball game where he puts a firm rubber ball on a bookcase shelf, nudges or punches or licks it into motion where it rolls then drops down underneath and comes out somewhere else, or he has to bat it without seeing it under the shelf to get it to bounce out and listens carefully where it’s going..it’s just crazy and fun to watch his wheels turn..I tell the trainers I’m going to that “I’m the only one holding him back..”..
Got my first GSD in 1959, currently have 5. Trained Schutzhund & police. Mals are good - for the right person - but for me, there is no other working dog that compare to the GSD. The absolute best for a family, single person, protection etc. GSDs just have a "wise" personality & can tell what to do & when to do it. (with correct training of course).
This comment expresses what has been my own experience as well. I've had several working breeds, and my GSD was above and beyond. In addition to being easily trained with gentle guidance, she was a superior problem solver and analyzer of situations, as well as working partner and companion. Had high energy and drive when needed, and calm otherwise. She was given special privileges everywhere she went.
Agree..thier the ultimate guard dog..my puppy wont let me shower or use the bathroom by myself..he follows me room to room..he is a secret service agent..I swear..why Biden is getting rid of his I'm gearing mine up..
@@serla7362 I disagree..unless you find something with red beams coming out of its eyes..no dog is a better guard dog than what my GSD brings..I live in the jungle..he bailed me out today..he plays on a real coarse every day.
This is the first intelligent evaluation of the two breeds I've seen. Much of what I've seen it's pretty clear the individual has never experienced a high end GSD. Your level of experience is refreshing. A quality bloodline GSD is really fairly easy to train and work with overall - with exceptions of course such as tempering high prey drive.
While malinois is by far the most athletic dog, which is quite impressive to watch, GSD actually has the mind of his/her own, is super intelligent and in-tuned, way more versatile than any other dog, and the best looking too. GSD has it all: the looks, the smarts, loyalty and devotion; while they look very regal, they're also super cute, which is a rare combination.
One wonders if those favouring the Belgian pooches are aware that their recent lines have German shepherd blood in them?? What's more most of the world's military, Police & other security services opt for the G.S.D every time ( they cannot all be wrong). At best when certain countries want to "turbocharge" their line they cross them with wolves ( as in Volksoby from Russia, Kumming dog from China & of course the famous Czech wolfdog); but they sure as hell do not use Belgian pooches for the mix, enough said. Kind regards.
@@toolsconsumables7055 Interesting piece of information. Thank you! Original German shepherd line was also developed with a wolf. I can see that in my boy's behavior and some postures I've never seen in any other breed.
I think it's important to keep in mind the behavior differences between German Shepherds. I've had three GSDs in my life, one when growing up, one born in '06 and now a 7 month old DDR Working line from the Jipo-me line. The spectrum they were/are on is huge. The first one, an American Show line GSD was a male and an absolute beast. Immensely protective, which was what we needed at the time because of our semi-secluded residence. The second one, an all-black Czech/American male was much gentler and calmer. Extremely social. The latest, a DDR female couldn't be more different from the others, in terms of focus and energy. She is the best bred, sire and dam both imports from one of the biggest Czech breeders. Crazy energy, in desperate need of activity and a job. I write this to help prospective GSD owners realize that all GSDs are NOT created equal. They're all individuals, of course, but knowing their bloodlines can be essential to your getting the dog you want. This is a great video, because it shows the differences between GSDs and Malinois. As far as the German Shepherds go, keep in mind the DDR working line dogs can be like the "standard" American German Shepherd on crack, too. As I've learned. :-)
Malinois don't have a high prey drive, natural prey drive and instinctual protection have to be taught whereas a gsd has all that bred into the Breed. Gsds are better for protection also there size is more imposing and the Malinois has the I wanta learn and let's go instincts
@@crod67435 I can assure you most malinois have high prey drive, a lot of sport bred ones are about as highly prey driven as any dog you'll find, they come out of the womb like that.
I have a Mali X Shepherd mix. His brother is a Lab. I love the balance with the two. My Mali mix is as chill as my Lab. I just got so lucky with both. I feed gently cooked meals on a holistic level with supplements to balance and complete their meals. Great video! Thank you.
I've tried to explain this to friends of mine that are always commenting on my Malinois, but lacked putting the words together in such a understandable way . Thanx for that .
Yesterday we took our 13 months young work line GSD bitch to try forest tracking for the first time. No previous tracking training at all: she picked up the scent and found and pointed out 8 out of 9 dropped objects from the 400 yard trail and did the whole thing without hesitation. Perfect animal, very sharp both physically and mentally, likes everybody and not aggressive at all, but with great drive. Totally different from our previous 3 show lines/white shepherds (which were lovely dogs also).
Personally, I find the working GSD much more asthetically pleasing than the Malinois. They have an imposing and often even a certain regal look to them that I find very appealing. This seems to be an irrelevant factor when comparing them in workability but if it comes to personal protection deterrance is vital. And I find the average working GSD to be much more intimidating than the average Malinois.
Well said. A very short analogy I have heard is that a Malinois is like a Ferrari but the GSD is like a classic Mercedes. I have had/worked both, watched many in real life/real world actual intense situations in addition to role playing competitions (not Schutzhund) and it is an apt (albeit) short descriptor.
@@bradynparisian7100 They did not say that malinois aren't imposing or intimidating, but that a GSD would be more scary looking. Im definitely sure that your mali girl will scare off most people perfectly well
I have a working line German Shepherd 95lbs and people will cross the street. My Mal sometimes gets confused for a small GSD mix but not very intimidating but of course both dogs will turn your world upside down.
@@LittleBarracuda which is why I think malinois is so much more admirable , they are full of surprises and though they may not look that scary when tested their bite work is incredible compared to a GS & not only is their speed when running outstandingly fast but when their drive comes in to play they will literally die for you, plus I think their built is so slim yet so athletic & will take you down with so much power , don’t get me started on how smart their minds our. Just my opinion🙂
The best comparison of dogs that I have come across. You compare the same level of dog, you give facts, explain the difference and what it means, and state your preference and why. The dog breed itself isn't criticized at all.
Love this video. After my first malinois i knew this breed is unlike all the rest, in my eyes. Here I am two Mals later, started my own k9 training business and still obsessed with their drive. Once you learn how to work 1:1 with one, it’s life changing.
I have a german shephard but will get a mali in my life one pup played with my pup at the park today i was so happy they were going hard in their game 🤣
Thank you for helping me better articulate to others the reasons for or against owning these breeds when they are selecting a dog. Because they look cool and fun, is NOT the reason to get one! 😄 (I'm on my 2nd shep and love that world with her, but they are not to be owned by just anyone).
Yes! My German Shepard is less neurotic but she’s just as drivey. If not more so. My mal is neurotic and sensitive but so easy to train but he’s a harder dog to handle because there is less room for error due to his temperament. I like having one of both.
I train Service Dogs for the Elderly. I used to run Labs through my program and when I trained 3 different Malinois Rescues, I have not gone back to Labs. The Mal will temper the prey drive if they are given an outlet like Squirrels only. (Not the neighbor's cats, dogs or bicycles.) We also run "who's zattt" scenarios around my home and after 4-5 tries, I can send her out to do 5 sequential commands one after another perfectly. If I train too much she will do all 5 commands in reverse order to bust my balls. All any Belgian Malinois needs is a job. Once they are harnessed and perform a different set of rules they get it instantly. WE do Mobility Assist work with store carriages and Home Depot carts etc. They turn left or right or back on a quiet voice command. They understand this is their job. They share their strength with thier Alpha and feel very confident with themselves every time. Each dog gets one or two minutes to go pee after being let out of the truck and then they go into the ready position on their own...no commands needed. Once they learn the Dr's office, medical center or Hospital, they find a small section of wall to lay down and wait patiently until they hear "UP" I fully trust my dogs and have trained them for "Street Wise" and doing Guide Work like crossing the Alpha on a busy 4 lane road. I train them on choices constantly and although they love to be directed, the idea that they can be empowered to help the alpha is something they take very seriously. I had a new hip and a new knee and each time my dog gently taught me how to walk and exercise me correctly. (They get it). I am Diabetic and when I am low the dog will put her head between my legs and 9 times out of ten she is correct. I go in the house and get my meds. NO prong collars NO cages. Just a lot of love and and they thrive mentally, physically and spiritually. Sorry to bend your ear. I could go on and on.
@lowland Shepherd Imagine getting shocks in the neck? How could the dog Trust you? Forcing them in training is not complete and predictable. If the dog loves you, trusts you, they will innovate and do their job even more efficiently. Mals have the power of reason and locking up the dog is the stupidest possible thing you could do to anyone or your dog They might have choices to get comfortable (she does not go on furniture but she has a nice bed she likes and most times she sleeps under my bed) ( bed is elevated 10") they want to roam the house and guard your home. My dog never leaves our yard because I walked the property line with her and she instantly understood what I was explaining to her. The Belgian Malinois is NOT for beginners or part timers. IF you have the time to invest the reward is a First Class Professional who loves you and would take a bullet for you.
@lowland Shepherd We train with Mals for jumping from 12,500' in a harness on your chest. After the first jump the dog knows exactly what to do and actually understands how to land BOTH of us. As soon as you put the goggles on them they go into their game face and they get serious. The tail is wagging, the ears are straight forward and the tail is upright. They are calm and just look around as we fall towards the ground. Amazing Partners. Cairo went on the UBL Raid and another Mal got Al Bagdadi. These are combat soldiers and should be respected as such.
@lowland Shepherd Honestly, in General and GSD are very similar. I call the Mals the "GSD Sport Model". They are lighter, faster, less shedding and less hip and elbow problems. They suffer from insecure macho types who think they can put an athlete in a quiet mellow life style and they get beaten and thrown into shelters all confused. Most of my donations are Shelter Rescues. I rehab them mentally, spiritually, physically and empower them to think. They use this contrast in life to imprint and Bond to the new secure Alpha. I think the best owners are men or women who can invest the time to communicate with the dog. I am always looking for Malinois to save.
@@captjay7823 you trained the malinois to work with the elderly? That is so cool. From all these videos it made it seem like are way to hyper and driven for that type of work from a novices perspective. And they know how to help with blood sugar too? I had no idea. Cool!
I will be watching your channel a lot. I was told my puppy is pure german shepherd. Have a contract saying so. Just found out her mom is half malinois. Now to scramble and learn as much as I can
The best explanation on the differences of the breeds that l have heard yet. When you cross the 2 what are you looking to achieve, in that what do you want the final result to be, example, more bone on the Malinois, etc….., thank you
Very interesting take on the matter... used to do SAR training with my late malligator and the drive issue you describe was very present he was not able to sustain drive in multiple persons search... literally exploded for the first then very quickly lost interest and got frustrated. Lots of teritorial problems as well however still the best dog I ever had and ever will have. The love you get from a mally is in my opinion just not comparable to any other breed.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, full of wonderful information. I’m curious if you would be willing to do a video on diet for your GSD?! I see a lot of people make videos about feeding “raw” or some do premium kibble, however none seem to have the background or investment in the breed, it’s just their personal choices. Our GSD pup is on kibble and her energy seems to be lacking in the evenings, I’m guessing this is due to diet.
Could also be a result of a puppy going through a growth phase. My puppies would play with high energy, and then suddenly drop asleep. That's when my cats would approach to check them out. My GSD and other dogs tended to be larger, and they would go through rapid growth spurts. Personally, I never rely on kibble alone. I feed a blend of home cooked meals of stews with vegetables and poultry. Crock pot or Instant pot. I use kibble as a crunchy base. I also read a food labels, and stay away from treats with sugars, lots of glycerin, and other exotic or questionable ingredients. I also stick with reputable brands, buy mid-size quantities and rotate brands so that if an issue presents itself, my dogs haven't had a single brand as the only thing they have eaten. My dog's have been long lived with minimal health issues and good teeth. :)
Great video I've been looking at a couple of videos on TH-cam including yours And I came to the conclusion that I will be purchasing a puppy German shepherd At 1st I did want a Belgian Malinois but after seeing so many video on here I feel a Belgian Malinois will be a little too much for Me and my family So a German shepherd will fit right in
Good explanation. I like GSD, only problem it is almost impossible to get a good one. Now I own one Malinois and one Dutch Shepherd. No complains, still Malinois really needs physical and/or mental challenges. I find scenting a good tool to get them relaxed when not possible to go outside.
I have always trained with German Shepherd, Malinois, Dutch Shepherd and Giant Schnauzers all from working lines and when you buy a good and healthy one with stable nerves they are all extremly good Dogs for many types of Work!
They are both still adorable to me. Do you happen to have any suggestions for my American Akita as far as work? I can tell he wants something to do.. He is a working breed. (just wondering, thank you)
nice video, in my opinion a German shepherd is a more calm and controllable, a Malinois is a high drive work dog, I had both but when it comes to friendship and loyalty both dogs are the best.
We have a 2.5 year old GSD, RAW FED. I`ve trained him from a pup and he is full on from waking to night time. NON STOP. He is great with all the kids and any visitors we let in the house but when their is a knock at the door he does not recognise his heckles go up and he growls. Same with the garden and cats. He is hard work but that is part and parcel to owning a GSD. Don`t get one if you are not totally dedicated and fit.
I have a malinois x and I swear it's the best dog I've ever witnessed in person thankfully my wife works from home so he always has his human there and I believe that helps him to be a really successful pet that and TH-cam of course
I think that's the truth, in Bite Work a KNPV Mal is the NR.1 but a Dutch Shepherd from KNPV lines is also very Good in this type of Work! I also have seen a Giant Schnauzer from German working line in KNPV with PH1 and this Dog was also very good !
Always A+ content. Wondering if you have any advice for getting an intact male German Shepherd more socialized with other dogs. He has been raised with a male, neutered dog since 8 weeks of age, but due to the dog parks being closed and lack of access to other dogs, he developed some aggression towards unknown dogs. Mainly large, intact males, but he also goes on high alert when seeing pretty much any dog. He is two years old now, and he does stop acting up when verbally reprimanded, but not when he perceives the dog as a threat. Neutering is not an option. Thank you for any advice.
Working german shepherds aren‘t really dog park dogs that want to befriend every dog they see. They are dominant and powerful animals. Out of all my working gsd‘s, none of them have been dog park dogs. Gsd‘s like to dominate and control and a lot of people confuse it for play. Try to find one or two dogs that he goes well with and has a good dynamic. They don‘t need more social interactions then that
@lowland Shepherd My man, I‘m not making fun of your spelling. I‘m genuinly trying to understand what you are saying so we can talk like adults. I make a lot of typos myself but I genuinly struggle reading what you are saying because you aren‘t using any dots or commas. Are you saying that german shepherds were created by native americans?
Hard to say. I find the Doberman, GSD, and Malinois as the most intelligent dogs we have to work with. Malinois’ seem more hyper than anything, not more intelligent. Out of the three though with regards to intelligence, I would have to pick the Doberman all the way. My opinion of course, but I’ve owned all three.
For me GSD all the way, but that is my personal opinion. I love the Malinois also. Think they are both the top of the food chain for working dogs. Then again I also like a good old fashioned Doberman and Rottweiler. Ah f it. I like all those 4. I have GSD but love watching the others.
Basically, and I think I have said this before, if you put the three Western European shepherd breeds together, the Malinois is the scary one, the Dutchie the crafty street fighter, and the GSD will be the adult in the room. I love all three, but ultimately you can't really compare them. The Dutch Shepherd is my personal favourite, but if my circumstances changed tomorrow, it's entirely possible I might find one of the other two better suited.
Can you comment on "leaky" GSDs? We have a GSD for personal protection (I have also started him I'm PSA for fulfillment) and he whines and barks inappropriately. Do Mals do this? I am considering a Mal for our next dog just because my GSD is so "over the top" with drive and the verbal leakiness is enough to make me crazy!
We humans like to over-simplify things. A person who likes dog breeds, sometimes may think "which one is better?" but of course, no breed is better than another breed in all situations. One of my most favourite breeds is the GSD, but I did not choose the GSD as my dog. I chose a rottweiler. Do I think it is a better dog? No! It's a breed that fits me and my current situation best. I enjoy my rottweiler to the max, and I think no other breed would have been better for me now. That doesn't mean that I necessarily prefer the rottweiler to the GSD in all situations, or a malinois for that matter. They are all cool dogs.
100% agree, so boring of youtube vids comparing dog breeds and stupid comments like "my dog can bite stronger bla bla bla". Ive owned a several GSD, one boxer, one english bulldog and now I own a malinois, Ive enjoyed them all!!
Well I love dogs and recently bought a gsd from a pet shop they said it's pure one or original but as it grows up I kind of think it's a mixed one can you help me with it..identifying if it's gsd or mixed gsd of course I won't abonden him even if it's mixed one but I would like to talk with pet shop owner.
I recently bought a German shepherd cross belgian malinois I live in a flat... Me and my partner have taught her to climb the stairs but she's bitting the lead and me some times we only got her 2 days ago and she's 11weeks old and I don't think the breeder really care about them as we noticed that the puppy was very itchy when she came to our flat and we flea comb her and found lots of like white creepy-crawlies and I don't have a clue what they are...she was raised in a trailer with all the inner taken out in like a make shift box and it looked awful so we took her instead of leaving her with those bad people
HD is more known problem among German Shepherds not really among work lines with a straight back, more but the old fashion German shepherds with sloping back, which is in my opinion the best looking German Shepherd.
Something I have noted gsd seem to be more disciplined on release command and being bigger and heavier can drop target more often, mals can get spun round gsds rarely do on bite.
BOTTOM LINE: Malinois DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS. They MUST WORK - drive satisfaction. Get a German Shepard for a pet instead! Leave the Malinois to the working groups that are a perfect fit for them.
It's totally wrong to compare a Malinois with a German shepherd. They are complete different dogs and indeed the Malinois isn't a dog for everyone. They should compare the Tervuren or Groenendael, other Belgian shepherds with the German shepherd. They are all relatives.
this Is sooo true , unfortunatly my malinois chases cars , its so hard to punish him he always thinks I negatively reinforce him...Any advice? Ive heard about a video coming soon on reactivity:], when will it drop ?
So from the UK and didn’t know what a Hell Cat was until Google enlightened. Well as it happens I love Dodge cars so your analogy was perfect for a GSD ! Me thinks GSD’s have changed so much - my 1977 one was like a Range Rover or Land Cruiser - great for any occasion. I have GSD rehomes and would describe them as BMW’s - magnificent to look at but rear wheel drive makes them useless in certain‘weather conditions’ . My nephew has a Pup Malinois x GSD - very gorgeous can’t wait to see how he grows up. Thanks for your video 👍💕
Spot on analysis! Grew up with GSDs and a Dobie, and have trained (-but never owned,) Belgian Shepherds... One analogy I think is fair to draw, based on later breeds I've owned, is between Border Collies and Aussies. Both are just as intense, but after the task is done GSDs and Aussies have a proverbial 'off' switch for a bit after fulfillment. BCs and Mals are more ever-vigilant, lest they miss some small opportunity to do something stimulating. All are always down to work, but there's a difference in the downtime.
My GSD out does all the malinois around here when it comes to protection..By far a better guard dog..the malinois can jump a little higher than my 60 pound GSD but not by much...When it came time for me to buy my puppy I said I have to buy the ultimate guard dog..and if I bought the malinois. It would of always lingered over my head that the GSD would have been a better choice..
A Malinois is a German Shepherd with a very slight advantage of agility and energy due to size. Personally I prefer the more stable energy levels of a German Shepherd over the Malinois + I like the slight size advantage the GSD has more of and body frame weight. I have always favored less energetic type dogs this is why I cant ever own a German Short hair pointer or Malinois etc they have a bit over the top energy for my liking and most normal families that wont be out hunting every day those dogs require lots of play time and land etc
The Malinois isn't a German shepherd, they don't look alike and they are complete different dogs. A Malinois is far more intelligent and is only a happy dog when he can learn and work. A Tervuren, another Belgian shepherd looks and is totally simular to the German shepherd.
@@adrianos7334 i know they are different dogs lol it was a joke because they are similar in nature. You only proved my point Mals love to "work" aka they have lots of energy and typically more than a GSD that was my entire point.
Malinois are amazing what I don’t like is the ones that I have seen are skinny the look like sick dogs they don’t impress problably they bite like crazy I prefer gsd Czech/ east working lines.
A Dutch Shepherd from good working line can do all types of Work like a Malinois or German Shepherd! They have good nerves and stable Mentality with very good working drive and they are a healthy Breed!
@@christianhagen8346 thanks for the reply. We’ve got a 12 week old pup that is learning at an incredibly fast rate. Very impressive that’s for sure. We didn’t get her from a breeder as such, we got her from a Security Dog training establishment that just happened to have these pups at that time. She is breed for a purpose with a purpose.
@@adammacsween3230 Dutch/Belgian and German shepherds are like cousins. But a Dutch shepherd is more like a Tervuren another Belgian shepherd which is also very simular to the German shepherd. The Malinois is a totally different dog and people are wrong to compare it to the German shepherd. They are only happy dogs when they can be active, learn new things and they hate to be alone. The Dutch, Tervuren and German don't have that high need and can be perfect pets too.
Sir, Can we have a full video, or even just an article, of a full step by step process of training a personal protection dog. I have 2 gsds at home. They are pretty good with strangers which is why I don't think they will attack someone who will try to force into my house. My friends just usually come and go as they please.

GSDs can surprise you with their abilities. They can themselve adapt to understand your day to day words. They can sit down under your table or next to you or near door when you do your office work. They act as a actual guardian when you take them out for walk, and mostly become less reactive until trained for otherwise. Their instinct are just next level. They know someone approach you with bad intentions. Their hearing is superhuman, their smell sense is superhuman. If there ever existed a perfect dog breed that can be used for literally any purpose, they are GSD.
They can do anything
My GS just turned 5 months old..he has literally invented a pinball game where he puts a firm rubber ball on a bookcase shelf, nudges or punches or licks it into motion where it rolls then drops down underneath and comes out somewhere else, or he has to bat it without seeing it under the shelf to get it to bounce out and listens carefully where it’s going..it’s just crazy and fun to watch his wheels turn..I tell the trainers I’m going to that “I’m the only one holding him back..”..

Excellent description. Thank you!
I think it's important to keep in mind the behavior differences between German Shepherds. I've had three GSDs in my life, one when growing up, one born in '06 and now a 7 month old DDR Working line from the Jipo-me line. The spectrum they were/are on is huge. The first one, an American Show line GSD was a male and an absolute beast. Immensely protective, which was what we needed at the time because of our semi-secluded residence. The second one, an all-black Czech/American male was much gentler and calmer. Extremely social. The latest, a DDR female couldn't be more different from the others, in terms of focus and energy. She is the best bred, sire and dam both imports from one of the biggest Czech breeders. Crazy energy, in desperate need of activity and a job.
I write this to help prospective GSD owners realize that all GSDs are NOT created equal. They're all individuals, of course, but knowing their bloodlines can be essential to your getting the dog you want.
This is a great video, because it shows the differences between GSDs and Malinois. As far as the German Shepherds go, keep in mind the DDR working line dogs can be like the "standard" American German Shepherd on crack, too. As I've learned. :-)
I had a dog from the jipo me line. Back in 2010. Best dog ever!!!! Now I have another East German shepherd. He is AMAZING
I always tend to think of the malinois as high prey and a very varying defence.
And the GSD as more balanced, moderate on all fronts.
Malinois don't have a high prey drive, natural prey drive and instinctual protection have to be taught whereas a gsd has all that bred into the Breed. Gsds are better for protection also there size is more imposing and the Malinois has the I wanta learn and let's go instincts
@@crod67435
I can assure you most malinois have high prey drive, a lot of sport bred ones are about as highly prey driven as any dog you'll find, they come out of the womb like that.
I have a Mali X Shepherd mix. His brother is a Lab. I love the balance with the two. My Mali mix is as chill as my Lab. I just got so lucky with both. I feed gently cooked meals on a holistic level with supplements to balance and complete their meals. Great video! Thank you.
Great analysis, both are great dogs, but as a regular home man family, I own a German shepherd (similar like yours) and I cannot be more happier.
I've tried to explain this to friends of mine that are always commenting on my Malinois, but lacked putting the words together in such a understandable way . Thanx for that .
The production quality of your videos seems to be improving :)
Yesterday we took our 13 months young work line GSD bitch to try forest tracking for the first time. No previous tracking training at all: she picked up the scent and found and pointed out 8 out of 9 dropped objects from the 400 yard trail and did the whole thing without hesitation. Perfect animal, very sharp both physically and mentally, likes everybody and not aggressive at all, but with great drive. Totally different from our previous 3 show lines/white shepherds (which were lovely dogs also).
Personally, I find the working GSD much more asthetically pleasing than the Malinois. They have an imposing and often even a certain regal look to them that I find very appealing. This seems to be an irrelevant factor when comparing them in workability but if it comes to personal protection deterrance is vital. And I find the average working GSD to be much more intimidating than the average Malinois.
Well said. A very short analogy I have heard is that a Malinois is like a Ferrari but the GSD is like a classic Mercedes. I have had/worked both, watched many in real life/real world actual intense situations in addition to role playing competitions (not Schutzhund) and it is an apt (albeit) short descriptor.
Hmmm. You could pretend to rough me up and see first hand how imposing my female Malinois can be lol.
@@bradynparisian7100 They did not say that malinois aren't imposing or intimidating, but that a GSD would be more scary looking. Im definitely sure that your mali girl will scare off most people perfectly well
I have a working line German Shepherd 95lbs and people will cross the street. My Mal sometimes gets confused for a small GSD mix but not very intimidating but of course both dogs will turn your world upside down.
@@LittleBarracuda which is why I think malinois is so much more admirable , they are full of surprises and though they may not look that scary when tested their bite work is incredible compared to a GS & not only is their speed when running outstandingly fast but when their drive comes in to play they will literally die for you, plus I think their built is so slim yet so athletic & will take you down with so much power , don’t get me started on how smart their minds our. Just my opinion🙂
Thank you as always. Yes, puppy in our future only after MY training.
The best comparison of dogs that I have come across. You compare the same level of dog, you give facts, explain the difference and what it means, and state your preference and why. The dog breed itself isn't criticized at all.
Love this video. After my first malinois i knew this breed is unlike all the rest, in my eyes.
Here I am two Mals later, started my own k9 training business and still obsessed with their drive. Once you learn how to work 1:1 with one, it’s life changing.
Nothing beats a malinois! The workability of the mal far exceeds the gsd
I have a german shephard but will get a mali in my life one pup played with my pup at the park today i was so happy they were going hard in their game 🤣
Thank you for helping me better articulate to others the reasons for or against owning these breeds when they are selecting a dog. Because they look cool and fun, is NOT the reason to get one! 😄 (I'm on my 2nd shep and love that world with her, but they are not to be owned by just anyone).
Yes! My German Shepard is less neurotic but she’s just as drivey. If not more so. My mal is neurotic and sensitive but so easy to train but he’s a harder dog to handle because there is less room for error due to his temperament.
I like having one of both.
I train Service Dogs for the Elderly. I used to run Labs through my program and when I trained 3 different Malinois Rescues, I have not gone back to Labs. The Mal will temper the prey drive if they are given an outlet like Squirrels only. (Not the neighbor's cats, dogs or bicycles.) We also run "who's zattt" scenarios around my home and after 4-5 tries, I can send her out to do 5 sequential commands one after another perfectly. If I train too much she will do all 5 commands in reverse order to bust my balls. All any Belgian Malinois needs is a job. Once they are harnessed and perform a different set of rules they get it instantly. WE do Mobility Assist work with store carriages and Home Depot carts etc. They turn left or right or back on a quiet voice command.
They understand this is their job. They share their strength with thier Alpha and feel very confident with themselves every time.
Each dog gets one or two minutes to go pee after being let out of the truck and then they go into the ready position on their own...no commands needed.
Once they learn the Dr's office, medical center or Hospital, they find a small section of wall to lay down and wait patiently until they hear "UP"
I fully trust my dogs and have trained them for "Street Wise" and doing Guide Work like crossing the Alpha on a busy 4 lane road.
I train them on choices constantly and although they love to be directed, the idea that they can be empowered to help the alpha is something they take very seriously. I had a new hip and a new knee and each time my dog gently taught me how to walk and exercise me correctly. (They get it). I am Diabetic and when I am low the dog will put her head between my legs and 9 times out of ten she is correct. I go in the house and get my meds. NO prong collars NO cages. Just a lot of love and and they thrive mentally, physically and spiritually. Sorry to bend your ear. I could go on and on.
@lowland Shepherd Imagine getting shocks in the neck? How could the dog Trust you? Forcing them in training is not complete and predictable. If the dog loves you, trusts you, they will innovate and do their job even more efficiently. Mals have the power of reason and locking up the dog is the stupidest possible thing you could do to anyone or your dog They might have choices to get comfortable (she does not go on furniture but she has a nice bed she likes and most times she sleeps under my bed) ( bed is elevated 10") they want to roam the house and guard your home. My dog never leaves our yard because I walked the property line with her and she instantly understood what I was explaining to her.
The Belgian Malinois is NOT for beginners or part timers. IF you have the time to invest the reward is a First Class Professional who loves you and would take a bullet for you.
@lowland Shepherd We train with Mals for jumping from 12,500' in a harness on your chest. After the first jump the dog knows exactly what to do and actually understands how to land BOTH of us.
As soon as you put the goggles on them they go into their game face and they get serious. The tail is wagging, the ears are straight forward and the tail is upright.
They are calm and just look around as we fall towards the ground. Amazing Partners.
Cairo went on the UBL Raid and another Mal got Al Bagdadi. These are combat soldiers and should be respected as such.
@lowland Shepherd do you intend on selling them?
@lowland Shepherd Honestly, in General and GSD are very similar. I call the Mals the "GSD Sport Model". They are lighter, faster, less shedding and less hip and elbow problems. They suffer from insecure macho types who think they can put an athlete in a quiet mellow life style and they get beaten and thrown into shelters all confused.
Most of my donations are Shelter Rescues.
I rehab them mentally, spiritually, physically and empower them to think. They use this contrast in life to imprint and Bond to the new secure Alpha.
I think the best owners are men or women who can invest the time to communicate with the dog.
I am always looking for Malinois to save.
@@captjay7823 you trained the malinois to work with the elderly? That is so cool. From all these videos it made it seem like are way to hyper and driven for that type of work from a novices perspective. And they know how to help with blood sugar too? I had no idea. Cool!
Great points, we have Mal/shepherd, very hyper and smart and just all around great dog!
Very good presentation. Thats my first video on your channel. Nice to meet you
I will be watching your channel a lot. I was told my puppy is pure german shepherd. Have a contract saying so. Just found out her mom is half malinois. Now to scramble and learn as much as I can
Great video
Thank you.
The best explanation on the differences of the breeds that l have heard yet. When you cross the 2 what are you looking to achieve, in that what do you want the final result to be, example, more bone on the Malinois, etc….., thank you
If I remember correctly he said in a different video that the goal of this cross is more stability than a Mal and more drive than a GSD
Philebos XX thanks Philebos, I will look that up, you ever have any experience with that cross ?
@@thomashowlin4353 no, I haven't. However, Haz has recently done this cross within his breeding program and uploaded videos about it. Have a look.
Thanks 👍
Very interesting take on the matter... used to do SAR training with my late malligator and the drive issue you describe was very present he was not able to sustain drive in multiple persons search... literally exploded for the first then very quickly lost interest and got frustrated. Lots of teritorial problems as well however still the best dog I ever had and ever will have. The love you get from a mally is in my opinion just not comparable to any other breed.
I have a mix between ths two breeds. Outstanding dog. I love her
Beautiful GSD brother!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, full of wonderful information. I’m curious if you would be willing to do a video on diet for your GSD?! I see a lot of people make videos about feeding “raw” or some do premium kibble, however none seem to have the background or investment in the breed, it’s just their personal choices. Our GSD pup is on kibble and her energy seems to be lacking in the evenings, I’m guessing this is due to diet.
Could also be a result of a puppy going through a growth phase. My puppies would play with high energy, and then suddenly drop asleep. That's when my cats would approach to check them out. My GSD and other dogs tended to be larger, and they would go through rapid growth spurts. Personally, I never rely on kibble alone. I feed a blend of home cooked meals of stews with vegetables and poultry. Crock pot or Instant pot. I use kibble as a crunchy base. I also read a food labels, and stay away from treats with sugars, lots of glycerin, and other exotic or questionable ingredients. I also stick with reputable brands, buy mid-size quantities and rotate brands so that if an issue presents itself, my dogs haven't had a single brand as the only thing they have eaten. My dog's have been long lived with minimal health issues and good teeth. :)
Well said! There is nothing like a GSD!
I prefer the German Shepherd myself. Great breed. I do love Malinois though 👌🏻
Great video I've been looking at a couple of videos on TH-cam including yours And I came to the conclusion that I will be purchasing a puppy German shepherd At 1st I did want a Belgian Malinois but after seeing so many video on here I feel a Belgian Malinois will be a little too much for Me and my family So a German shepherd will fit right in
You are correct!😊
Good explanation. I like GSD, only problem it is almost impossible to get a good one. Now I own one Malinois and one Dutch Shepherd. No complains, still Malinois really needs physical and/or mental challenges. I find scenting a good tool to get them relaxed when not possible to go outside.
Yes, this is true. And if you are lucky enough to get a good German Sheperd it is very likely there are some health issues….
I have always trained with German Shepherd, Malinois, Dutch Shepherd and Giant Schnauzers all from working lines and when you buy a good and healthy one with stable nerves they are all extremly good Dogs for many types of Work!
They are both still adorable to me. Do you happen to have any suggestions for my American Akita as far as work? I can tell he wants something to do.. He is a working breed. (just wondering, thank you)
Nice video!! Whats do you think about Dobermans ???
nice video, in my opinion a German shepherd is a more calm and controllable, a Malinois is a high drive work dog, I had both but when it comes to friendship and loyalty both dogs are the best.
Thx!
We have a 2.5 year old GSD, RAW FED. I`ve trained him from a pup and he is full on from waking to night time. NON STOP. He is great with all the kids and any visitors we let in the house but when their is a knock at the door he does not recognise his heckles go up and he growls. Same with the garden and cats. He is hard work but that is part and parcel to owning a GSD. Don`t get one if you are not totally dedicated and fit.
I have a malinois x and I swear it's the best dog I've ever witnessed in person thankfully my wife works from home so he always has his human there and I believe that helps him to be a really successful pet that and TH-cam of course
Absolutely love this shit!
Nothing beats the mal! KNPV Mals are the way to go. Bang on that mals are not for the novice
I think that's the truth, in Bite Work a KNPV Mal is the NR.1 but a Dutch Shepherd from KNPV lines is also very Good in this type of Work! I also have seen a Giant Schnauzer from German working line in KNPV with PH1 and this Dog was also very good !
Always A+ content. Wondering if you have any advice for getting an intact male German Shepherd more socialized with other dogs. He has been raised with a male, neutered dog since 8 weeks of age, but due to the dog parks being closed and lack of access to other dogs, he developed some aggression towards unknown dogs. Mainly large, intact males, but he also goes on high alert when seeing pretty much any dog. He is two years old now, and he does stop acting up when verbally reprimanded, but not when he perceives the dog as a threat. Neutering is not an option. Thank you for any advice.
Working german shepherds aren‘t really dog park dogs that want to befriend every dog they see. They are dominant and powerful animals. Out of all my working gsd‘s, none of them have been dog park dogs. Gsd‘s like to dominate and control and a lot of people confuse it for play. Try to find one or two dogs that he goes well with and has a good dynamic. They don‘t need more social interactions then that
@lowland Shepherd I didn‘t understand a thing. No offense but that was unreadeble. If you add some dots and commas it will be easier for everyone.
@lowland Shepherd My man, I‘m not making fun of your spelling. I‘m genuinly trying to understand what you are saying so we can talk like adults. I make a lot of typos myself but I genuinly struggle reading what you are saying because you aren‘t using any dots or commas. Are you saying that german shepherds were created by native americans?
What is the best technique for a sound sensitive dog if the stimulai is only me not the hunting implementation
100% agree with you.
What about a mix of both of them ?? Do you think it will be a good combination?
Hard to say. I find the Doberman, GSD, and Malinois as the most intelligent dogs we have to work with. Malinois’ seem more hyper than anything, not more intelligent. Out of the three though with regards to intelligence, I would have to pick the Doberman all the way. My opinion of course, but I’ve owned all three.
Heard of Volhard puppy test? Same litter you can have the differences you describe.
Can gsd be trained for protection work and be a social dog or would that be confusing to the dog?
For me GSD all the way, but that is my personal opinion. I love the Malinois also. Think they are both the top of the food chain for working dogs. Then again I also like a good old fashioned Doberman and Rottweiler. Ah f it. I like all those 4. I have GSD but love watching the others.
i love my malinois but she IS TOTALLY a crackhead and thank you for this very informative video, i learned a lot!
Basically, and I think I have said this before, if you put the three Western European shepherd breeds together, the Malinois is the scary one, the Dutchie the crafty street fighter, and the GSD will be the adult in the room. I love all three, but ultimately you can't really compare them. The Dutch Shepherd is my personal favourite, but if my circumstances changed tomorrow, it's entirely possible I might find one of the other two better suited.
All I can think about watching this is that scene in John Wick with Halle Berry and those Belgians!
Is this working line GS in this video still considered a pet in your household?
Kind of a convoluted explanation...point well taken in terms of a dog needing a job.
Where are you located? I'd like to get a little more training for my German Shepherd
where did you get that collar?
Can you comment on "leaky" GSDs? We have a GSD for personal protection (I have also started him I'm PSA for fulfillment) and he whines and barks inappropriately. Do Mals do this? I am considering a Mal for our next dog just because my GSD is so "over the top" with drive and the verbal leakiness is enough to make me crazy!
How do i make my Mal to stop barking at other dogs? As soon as he sees a dog he barks. I have no idea how to fix this. He’s 11 mo.
As always GREAT content!
We humans like to over-simplify things. A person who likes dog breeds, sometimes may think "which one is better?" but of course, no breed is better than another breed in all situations. One of my most favourite breeds is the GSD, but I did not choose the GSD as my dog. I chose a rottweiler. Do I think it is a better dog? No! It's a breed that fits me and my current situation best. I enjoy my rottweiler to the max, and I think no other breed would have been better for me now. That doesn't mean that I necessarily prefer the rottweiler to the GSD in all situations, or a malinois for that matter. They are all cool dogs.
100% agree, so boring of youtube vids comparing dog breeds and stupid comments like "my dog can bite stronger bla bla bla". Ive owned a several GSD, one boxer, one english bulldog and now I own a malinois, Ive enjoyed them all!!
I hear you and all but really, all i wanna know is was the pants fitting to the dogs fur a happy accident or not?
Well I love dogs and recently bought a gsd from a pet shop they said it's pure one or original but as it grows up I kind of think it's a mixed one can you help me with it..identifying if it's gsd or mixed gsd of course I won't abonden him even if it's mixed one but I would like to talk with pet shop owner.
I just rescued a malinois from the military, best dog I have owned, I find them not that crazy but I have also owned crazy labs my whole life😂
I recently bought a German shepherd cross belgian malinois I live in a flat... Me and my partner have taught her to climb the stairs but she's bitting the lead and me some times we only got her 2 days ago and she's 11weeks old and I don't think the breeder really care about them as we noticed that the puppy was very itchy when she came to our flat and we flea comb her and found lots of like white creepy-crawlies and I don't have a clue what they are...she was raised in a trailer with all the inner taken out in like a make shift box and it looked awful so we took her instead of leaving her with those bad people
I’ve had four GSD’s and I wouldn’t have any other dog’s then them. They are the most loyal dog’s you could have
Watching your video trying to get help on training our doberhound mix and our pittie Sheppard mix...😑 its impossible.
Curious, do Mals have same problems with hips if not breed carefully?
Most big dog breeds tend to have hip dysplasia if not bread carefully. That's why you should bay a puppy from parents that are tested for this
Any dog can have bad joints. Mals/Dutchies have generally superior health.
Yes
In my opinion the Mal and Dutchie are more healthier than the German Shepherd!
HD is more known problem among German Shepherds not really among work lines with a straight back, more but the old fashion German shepherds with sloping back, which is in my opinion the best looking German Shepherd.
what food do you feed?
I have a 120 lb male gsd/mal mix 2 yr old . He is a nonstop challege
Something I have noted gsd seem to be more disciplined on release command and being bigger and heavier can drop target more often, mals can get spun round gsds rarely do on bite.
The malinois a crackhead lol
Great explanation!
Super videos
More like Malinois is a Porsche GT3 and German Shepherd is a Turbo S Lol
Both are excellent if breed right but its horses for courses.
Do you have experience with the Dutch shepherd?
BOTTOM LINE: Malinois DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS. They MUST WORK - drive satisfaction. Get a German Shepard for a pet instead! Leave the Malinois to the working groups that are a perfect fit for them.
It's totally wrong to compare a Malinois with a German shepherd. They are complete different dogs and indeed the Malinois isn't a dog for everyone. They should compare the Tervuren or Groenendael, other Belgian shepherds with the German shepherd. They are all relatives.
It depends on the energy level. Working gsp must be trained each day or go insane and ill
this Is sooo true , unfortunatly my malinois chases cars , its so hard to punish him he always thinks I negatively reinforce him...Any advice? Ive heard about a video coming soon on reactivity:], when will it drop ?
@Pack K9 thanks, a lot!
@Pack K9 thanks!
@Pack K9 i have his online course, and i just don't want to move to week 2 with car reactivity
@Pack K9 thanks a lot, I'm sure ill get over it :)
Training, training and more training.
So from the UK and didn’t know what a Hell Cat was until Google enlightened. Well as it happens I love Dodge cars so your analogy was perfect for a GSD ! Me thinks GSD’s have changed so much - my 1977 one was like a Range Rover or Land Cruiser - great for any occasion. I have GSD rehomes and would describe them as BMW’s - magnificent to look at but rear wheel drive makes them useless in certain‘weather conditions’ . My nephew has a Pup Malinois x GSD - very gorgeous can’t wait to see how he grows up. Thanks for your video 👍💕
We have both. Gsd def better dog by far. But the mal is supreme working dog just for work
Which dog is better for 1st time owner gsd or mallione
Same problem here!
Get a Labrador.
How does a Dutch Shepherd compare to these two breeds?
The Dutch Shepherd is also a very good all around working Breed when he comes from pure working line!
Spot on analysis! Grew up with GSDs and a Dobie, and have trained (-but never owned,) Belgian Shepherds...
One analogy I think is fair to draw, based on later breeds I've owned, is between Border Collies and Aussies. Both are just as intense, but after the task is done GSDs and Aussies have a proverbial 'off' switch for a bit after fulfillment. BCs and Mals are more ever-vigilant, lest they miss some small opportunity to do something stimulating.
All are always down to work, but there's a difference in the downtime.
German Shepherd!!!!
What about Belgium malinois and dutch shepherd
That gsp is pf a standard of WWII and those are the best workers
Looks like a Czech GSD (I own my 2nd one currently). They are working line GSDs, that are bred to the original breed standard. Awesome dogs.
My GSD out does all the malinois around here when it comes to protection..By far a better guard dog..the malinois can jump a little higher than my 60 pound GSD but not by much...When it came time for me to buy my puppy I said I have to buy the ultimate guard dog..and if I bought the malinois. It would of always lingered over my head that the GSD would have been a better choice..
A Malinois is a German Shepherd with a very slight advantage of agility and energy due to size. Personally I prefer the more stable energy levels of a German Shepherd over the Malinois + I like the slight size advantage the GSD has more of and body frame weight. I have always favored less energetic type dogs this is why I cant ever own a German Short hair pointer or Malinois etc they have a bit over the top energy for my liking and most normal families that wont be out hunting every day those dogs require lots of play time and land etc
The Malinois isn't a German shepherd, they don't look alike and they are complete different dogs. A Malinois is far more intelligent and is only a happy dog when he can learn and work. A Tervuren, another Belgian shepherd looks and is totally simular to the German shepherd.
@@adrianos7334 i know they are different dogs lol it was a joke because they are similar in nature. You only proved my point Mals love to "work" aka they have lots of energy and typically more than a GSD that was my entire point.
@@adrianos7334 Malinois are not more intelligent…. German shepherds are ranked 3rd while mals are ranked 26th..
My Dutch Shepherd is the best 👌 dog 🐕 I ever had.
Malinois are amazing what I don’t like is the ones that I have seen are skinny the look like sick dogs they don’t impress problably they bite like crazy I prefer gsd Czech/ east working lines.
How does the Dutch Shepherd fit into this mix as well?
A Dutch Shepherd from good working line can do all types of Work like a Malinois or German Shepherd! They have good nerves and stable Mentality with very good working drive and they are a healthy Breed!
@@christianhagen8346 thanks for the reply. We’ve got a 12 week old pup that is learning at an incredibly fast rate. Very impressive that’s for sure. We didn’t get her from a breeder as such, we got her from a Security Dog training establishment that just happened to have these pups at that time. She is breed for a purpose with a purpose.
@@adammacsween3230 Dutch/Belgian and German shepherds are like cousins. But a Dutch shepherd is more like a Tervuren another Belgian shepherd which is also very simular to the German shepherd. The Malinois is a totally different dog and people are wrong to compare it to the German shepherd. They are only happy dogs when they can be active, learn new things and they hate to be alone. The Dutch, Tervuren and German don't have that high need and can be perfect pets too.
@@adrianos7334 thanks very much for the detailed explanation. Much appreciated
Which one good has an harness dog for human can not hear good
Dean and Tyler. The rest are cheap copies
Sir, Can we have a full video, or even just an article, of a full step by step process of training a personal protection dog.
I have 2 gsds at home. They are pretty good with strangers which is why I don't think they will attack someone who will try to force into my house.
My friends just usually come and go as they please.
