Keep trying to get my son to watch. This is my last note to him. . . “Okay, one more. I promise. You gotta see this. These tactical K-9s (Belgian Malinois) cost $250,000 after training prior to deployment. They defy physics. Awe inspiring. Jaw dropping. Heartening. Beautiful nature.
I had a Mali that I lost about 2 years ago, I still missed her and loved her dearly 😢 She was actually raised by my Jack Russell/Beagle mix (talk about a handful 😂) he actually gave her a run for her money every day! But when he developed cancer and got to where he wouldn't play with her he actually let her know it was time to stop playing. But she protected me when I had gotten pneumonia and I couldn't even get out of bed, she just stayed beside me and kept me warm
These dogs are beautiful and I love them. Instead of adopting one, which I would love love love to do. I come here to admire them, as I know I would never be able to keep up with them. I am amazed at not only how sweet and Beautiful they are but their athleticism and agility and their bravery.
That's exactly where I am, but my breed of choice is Cane corso, I love mastiff but currently my lifestyle will not be good for it, so for now just admiring
I too would love to have one but unfortunately at my advanced age it's not probable or Sensible . So will love them from afar and carry on dreaming of what can't be.

I grew up with 4 Belgian Malinois. They were used as guard dogs at my dads company, but were so sweet to me as a little girl. I could take them on walks, learn them new tricks... I loved hanging out with them and playing around. It’s an amazing dogbreed, but definitely for the experienced dog owner. Raise them right and you’ll have a wonderfull dog!
Had my malinois 3 years now, was in the military so new the breed. Please don't buy one of these dogs if your not prepared to exercise them for at least 2 hours a day. These dogs are one of the only breeds left that heve not been messed around with, purely because they were only bred for working. But I have noticed over the years they are getting more popular, And are now being left at dog rescue centre's, because amateur breeders are breeding them, And selling them to people for pets. They are not indoor pets , They need something to do. Think twice and do your research, if your prepared to put the work in , you will have the cleverest most loyal friend you can imagine, these dogs will protect you with there lives, they are fantastic.
@@nihonkokusai My two older Malinois (10-12) can deal with it when they only get two hours but the next few days, I would need to increase their activites. With my youngest (two and a half years old) there is no way that two hours would satisfy him. He'd go nutty. He likes to have activity from morning until evening. I agree whole heartedly with Dean Stephens, however, they are not good pets for anyone not familiar with the breed. I've had all sorts of working breeds in 50 years and the Malinois' needs and personality are very different than all of them.
@@JVonD88 Not really. That's what describes Terriers. High energy doesn't mean irresponsible - there is such a thing as a sense of responsibility in dogs too - especially shepherds, of all kinds. And Malinois, at their origin, are shepherds.
Man, I'm so grateful that we as humans have this strong longtime companionship with dogs. They do so much for us, work hard for us, comfort us, and do anything to please us. We are so lucky to have them around.
Especially since we treat them so badly. 2m+ put down in the US alone annually. I have a Cane Corso, which is a very difficult breed to own if you want a well-trained, well-mannered, and well-socialized dog. I constantly see them being put into shelters because people can’t handle them. A Belgian Malinois is easily twice as difficult, and usually a lot more difficult than that. It’s a privilege for us. I appreciated your attitude.
Been a dog lover all my life. There are definitely all types of owners in the world, but I'm always thankful for those of us who see it as more than just an additional item to remember to buy when we're out shopping (dog food😂), but truly value the relationship and give them the love, attention, & energy they deserve. I'm a Rottweiler man to my core, but in 46yrs, have had more than a few amazing dogs in my life... A Husky, Golden, Black lab. I'm super allergic to cats, and not a big fan of them ANYway. Lol But dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. They're just so GOOD❤️
*@Iɳƚҽɾɠαʅαƈƚιƈ Sραƈҽ Kιƚƚҽɳ* Indeed, dogs, horses and other wonderful animals have served us for millenniums, and we are very fortunate to have them. One thing always puzzled me, is that in almost in every culture around the world, we tend to call people that upset us _Dogs,_ *we shouldn't,* as dogs are the most faithful, loyal and honest creature we can find, they never, ever betray their human companion, so why do we use the word _dog_ as an insult. 😡
Also, these malinois are depravation trained which makes them more inclined to please! They are headers normally so you are misrepresenting the dog breed!!!!!!!!
I have one at home, and while being a handful at times, she is the best, the smartest and the cutest, she cured my depression, she saved my life. Her high energy is contagious and will make any day get better.
These dog's could possible be IMHO the smartest dog breed in the world. Never seen a dog balance while walking a glass of water on his nose. Agility and abilities are amazing.
My neighbor has a Malinois. She's extremely smart and overall a lovely dog. But if I see how much effort my neighbor puts in to physically but also mentally train her ... that's not a dog for me even if I were unemployed.
Unfortunately, too many people aren't able to recognise that, or they don't want to recognise it. Thank you for not being one of these uninformed, ignorant or selfish people... It truly hurts my heart when I think of all the dogs that are bored out of their mind and not cared for adequately, then become destructive or agressive as a result of this boredom, and who are then abandoned or euthanized... Malinois, Huskys, Ridgebacks, Pit Bulls, Cane Corsos, Presas, wolfdogs, Malamutes, Border Collies ... The list goes on and on.
The only sad thing about military dogs is when they get old they will be in shelters/out of action. Some of them are injured & well yeah.. not a lot of people want them as a pet. I've seen a docu about it. Made me cry 😔
@@i.am.OK. I have an almost 1 year old staffy and a 18 week old collie, i still would not get a malinois! An hour or so a day of my undivided attention is enough. They do come everywhere with me, I've never understood people who don't spend time with their dogs
Best dogs ever. I had one, Kept her happy and busy by hiking camping, and hunting with me. Super attached and loyal. Lost her when she got ran over. Now I have her puppies and will give them the happiest life I can 💖
I ended up adopting a Malinois/Australian Cattle Dog. Ever since I got her at 3 months old, I've been doing training with her. She'll be a year old in a couple of weeks and people are quite impressed with how well behaved she is. She's going to be a service dog. She's my first Malinois. I just study as much as I can about her breed. I'm lucky that I only work 2 days a week and she goes to work with me. I'm really enjoying and loving my Malinois!
Indeed! And they are called maligators for a reason. It's what you get when you cross a german shepherd with a gator, and give it a 6-pack of 5 hour energy.
Everyone says this but my Malinois loves sleeping and won't go out in the rain. She's a princess. She now had a back injury though and had paralysis, so she can't move too well... but you still can't stop the prey drive. She will drag herself across the grass to chase bunnies.
These dogs are definitely one of the most versatile and amazing breeds! It’s like their brains are sponges just waiting to soak up the next challenging command to learn!
I had an amazing MAL 7 years ago. He was unbelievable and I loved him dearly. I was constantly training and working with him as my job and still, I was not even able to tire him completly. I am very fit, super active, sportive and extremely disciplined person. People always asked me how it was to own a Malinois and till this day, my answer is ALWAYS the same one: -''It was a full time job '', people would laugh at my answer, and I would look at them directly saying: -'' Yeah ... not a joke my friend. MY dog is my full time job, FOR REAL''. I would then, explain the work and stimulation that he needs EVERYDAY. 5 years after my Mal passed away, I was on the search to adopt an other Malinois. I went to visit many amazing breeders in different states for over a year and a half. Slowly, I came to realized that my lifestyle has changed and my work was different. I was not sure I would be able to keep up with this breed for an other 15 years. I am still hyper active, Uber disciplined but i dont have the time anymore to have a working dog sharing my life, plus i know too much. I know what they need and how you have to stimulate them. I am now, the happy owner of a perfect dog to fit my present needs. He is something else let me tell you, and I dont even have to mentioned how perfectly mannered he is in every situation. He is umbelivable. I get comments on his behaviours on the daily. Lets just say that, even though he is from a otherkind of breed, he has been trained the MALNOIS way, and he is tired for sure at the end of the day. He is probably the dog in the best shape of our neighbourhood lol There is not ONE week since i adopted him that is passing without me thinking: -''Man it would of been a big mistake for me to adopt a Malinois now''. PLEASE, trust me people: you dont want a Malinois. And you certainly dont want a Malinois as a pet. They are more than what you think you can handle. This is coming from someone who actually shared her life with one.
I think I’ll take this advice. I’ve been really into researching this breed and as I learned more about them the reality has set in and I’m a bit bummed to admit it but I definitely shouldn’t get one of these dogs. A good trained German Shepherd is more my speed.
These dogs are insane. I have one. He's incredible, but trust me. Don't get one if you don't have the time. They will wreck your house if you don't give them the time they need, daily.
Well if they ever become a status symbol for young men the way German shepherds Dobermans Rottweilers Pitbulls and Staffies have in the past and present then they will be overbred and oversold by the worst among us so hopefully those creeps will remain obsessed with their bully breeds.
I think if anyone ever wants a malinois just tell them to look up some videos of desperate homeowners calling in the trainers to get their dogs to stop eating the walls of their home and imagine it's them. If someone doesn't know EXACTLY what they are getting themselves into, they aren't ready for it.
I’d hate to be a bother, but how long on average do you leave him alone while you’re at work and what do you leave him? Is someone there to watch your dog while you’re gone? You don’t have to answer this, but it’d be greatly appreciated if you did. :)
I have a Belgian Malinois. But she is not as tough as these 2 Malis on the video. She is more a cuddle baby and I love her so, so much. I take her for a walk for 2 to 3 times a day. And we have a big backyard so she can run and play together with her little brother, a Pomeranian. These 2 different breeds are doing great together.
i go on hikes with mine regularly, but these arent typical hikes. its hiking for me, but hunting for them. she is an expert at moles and rabbits, but now suffers from hip dysplasia.
Yes, if you get one, be sure you are a responsible owner... You have time to bond, exercise and socialize, if you want a dog only to stay at home, dont get malinois
I've known two Malinois. One was the most vicious (large) (but gorgeous) dog I've ever met. The other such a sweetheart. Not the fault of the dogs of course. The first one was from my aunt who just lost her husband (my favorite uncle who bought it a few months before) at the age of 43. It took her a few years to be pulled out of her depression and the dog ran wild. The latter lived at times with us at the university house. She was called Goof. We played a lot of football with her. A gentle soul (but every morning the garbage was strewn though the corridor :) Her only vice.
Anneka, great video! I had a Belgium Malinois and she was the best. She passed away last year but she lived until she was 14.5 years old. She is now is doggy heaven.
These dogs are amazing. Even the mixes are like GSDs on speed, so, be warned anyone that just wants one of these and hasn't had that experience. Our Maligator/Pitbull is an amazing dog, scary-smart, fearless, and sweet, but he was hell on wheels until about 6. Needed runs, constant training, and consistent rules. Even at 10, he's still very diligent and driven, and would run right over anyone not ready for him.
I have a rescue who is a malinois mix, I’m sure she was given up because her previous owner couldn’t handle her energy. I’ve taken her and my husky mix on 6 mile trail runs, and when we get back to the house, she’s got her ball, wanting to play catch. Super smart, very trainable. (My husky mix, not so much, but that was during the summer, it may have been too hot for him. We’ll see how they like the cooler weather, and maybe longer runs.
I had a black lab that would go on my roof, although she had a low patio cover she used to climb onto the roof. It sure looked funny seeing her chilling on the roof though!
we accidently bought one as you can see in my profile picture, we got told they were bred with malinois 8 generations back so it was apprebtly claimed as an pure gsd, but as we noticed when she got older her traits and cost was more like malinois than a gsd, which kinda made me upset since i love the german shepherds my absolute favorite bree, ahaha. but the breeders lied. and it may be like alooot of malinois in her. and her energy level is insane. i still love my little axie tho. shes an amazing dog.
I have a 5months old female malinois puppy. She is a perfect family dog! Yes my husband and I go walk/running twice a day each time at least 1 hour. She has such a great personality good with people, kids and other dog. They can be really good family dog if you play with them enough and well. She is so smart and goofy. Definitely the best dog ever!!!!!
I had a Malinois for his entire life, from my experience they make great pets, they are super intelligent, they are 100% loyal to their family and they love activities but not all day like a lot of people say and they adapt to your lifestyle.
I agree with you about loyalty and family friendly, and you are correct about activity, mine (a three year old)gta at least one vigorous hour and a good active walk. His disposition is great and has never tore or wrecked the house. Simply put, to me they are the best!
My son works with SF, when he’s in a mock building playing the bad guy , he says when the malinois sent in , he’d rather be face to face with al quada, than the Malinois

Animal Watch you're an inspiration. If it wasn't for this channel I doubt that I would be waiting for an Animal Care Course in Leeds due for September 2020 providing lockdown is fully lifted. Thanks for the inspiration as it's more than some part-time pursuit it's a profession to look after,feed and rescue to handling animals. Also a massive Thankyou to The Veterinarian Profession for working during the lockdown period. We clapped for you last night alongside human doctors.
I have a GSD/Malinois mix and yes, she's quite a challenge and I love her. I'm at home all day and when I leave home I take her with me everywhere. We're a team. If she doesn't get enough stimulation she barks at the neighbor, the neighbors kid, the neighbor's mailbox, a plastic bag... or just barks. If you've seen somebody on severe withdrawal. That's her. Not a happy dog. And she becomes a pain in the ***. Don't get a dog like this if you just want a family pet. It can work as a family pet but if it does that's just a bonus.
I have gsd X Mali. Beautiful little pup very quick and easy to learn and very loyal 👍🏻 I’ve not had any problems with him then again I’m out and about with him from all hours 😂
I have an 11 month old 85lb GSD/Mal pup. he's actually not too bad considering his age. My GSD was a much bigger pain than he is. He's very tall and skinny so he hasn't grown into his body yet and I dont let him jump off of anything higher than a out 18" because hes still growing. should be some vids on my channel if you wanna check him out
I so wish people would see this video before buying a puppy malinois...both of mine are rescues and the shelters are full of malinois and huskies because people fall for their cute faces when they're babies but fail to realize how high maintenance they both are. The amount of exercice and mental stimulation you have to give them in order to have balanced dogs is huge. Yet when you do they are the most fantastic companions...so clever, so loyal, so gentle too.
I watched this video very carefully! This is a fantastic breed,very agile,strong and intelligent! Very compliments to you Anneka for your action,thank you very much for this wonderful video 👍👍💪💪😍
I had one of these, best dog I've had, he was abused before we got him, took about a year for him to come good, he was brought up partly by a female New Fondland in a Big backyard, a very smart dog also, they used to play as she thought him how to be alert and fight and not to be scared, he never wrecked anything and became the family protector after she died (and he did protect!) he than brought up an abused Rotweiler, playfull but sometimes very rough, who was very agresive in the beginning, but Ben sorted him out well. Ben the Malinois was a dog who became a selfassured dog who stood by himself was loyal, trustworthy, protective, loved to be with the kids but was not needy. He worked out how to open doors etc. Every three weeks or so i'd find him on the bed with us for 15 minutes and that was enough cuddles for while, He was a lot of work and a lot of time spend in the beginning, daily trips to the beach all his life, he loved swimming and biting the waves! Hard day when he went. BTW the Rotweiler took over where Ben left off.
Love this episode. Mom had a stalker so she got Belgians, tervs and sheepdogs. Smart, loving, fun companions with no nonsense boundaries. I grew up in a show home with these and my best pal is a mal. He’s keeping my feet warm right now, not really a great stow and go option. It’s a marriage of sorts but all benefits, no baggage. They’re not more difficult than other dogs if you give respect and empathy, just more Velcro if they bond. They get their nose in everything, trust is earned.
I get so choked up and emotional when I watch this breed train, in the movies, or showing off their skills. They are courageous and tenacious. They have the capability to be real life heros. I am grateful, once again, that Animal Watch breaks down the breed and their personality and needs. Not just anybody should own a dog like this. Their mental health depends on them having the active, stimulating, well rounded life that their breed thrives on. This is a beautiful and majestic dog, both lines. They fly up a wall with such grace. They jump and soar through the air. This is truly a fascinating creature. Wonderful episode Animal Watch. Great job on another educational and entertaining show. ~❣️
Sweet and look oh so stylin’ with the goggles. I love this breed. I know I’m not the right person to have one, but they are awe inspiring. Thank you for this video.
I have a Belgian Malinois . She is the best dog I have ever had . You must give them alot of activity . I am home all day with her. She has to be by my side all the time 🙂 I love 💕 her so much. My husband said she is the most clinging dog he has ever know. I like how she is so lovely . Excellent guard dog. One thing you have to use an electric collar , as she got older I couldn't walk her , without her jumping up and biting HARD!! Don't worry it's not mean. I've talked to other Belgian Malinois owners , they do the same. Very smart 🤓 I just love her so much.
Wow!! Call them Super Athletes as well of the dog world. Truly Amazing but really need to be with very experienced dog owners. Thank you Anneka for a great video.💚
Brilliant! I love working with and training dogs so I can see how these dogs are super in need of constant attention, exercise, and training. For most families it would seem these gorgeous dogs might be too much of a challenge.
I got one for my 8th birthday...he was the best babysitter I ever had. No one he didn't know could get near me. He loved towing us on our skate boards or in the ocean/lake and playing "search and rescue". He was so gentle with me that he could take a piece of pop corn out of my mouth.....with out mouths ever touching.
Love my Malagator we keep each other fit...they are so intense on getting a ball etc that they can hurt themselves ,tug games are his fave but we spend alot of time in search games loves the brain work! Having said that they're not for the average owner you need to spend the time training from the get-go and you will have one of the best dogs in the world...
Our Belgium malinois is from the police program, he's called major. He lives happily alongside our two lurchers. He is amazing, he didn't make the grade for being too edgy but he's a diamond for us, super smart, super athletic and obedient. These are serious dogs and you have to know what you are doing with this breed, think German sheperd, amplified times 100, you have to be a strong person and prepared to be the alpha!. Wouldn't be without our boy! We will never be robbed 😂
My boss has one of these dogs. Super friendly but the power they hold. Incredible. I thought german shepherds had the edge and rotts too but these are beasts. The dog in question had so much energy she ran into a gate, injuring herself requiring stitches. All she cared about was her ball and chewing a massive log!
Les meilleurs dans tous les domaines. Les plus valeureux, intelligents, fidèles, d'un amour sans faille pour leur famille. Je t'aime pour toujours ma Belle❤❤❤❤❤
Belgian Malinois and german shepherd dogs are both amazing breeds! The Malinois have more drive and is more agil and faster. Thats the reason malis are used more in military and police nowadays than the GSD. On the other side the GSD have much more bite force is bigger stronger and have more intimidation factor what makes the GSD a better watch and protection Dog. Annyway a cross beetwen both makes an absolut fantastic dog!
@@5150GSD Dutchies are not GSD/Malinois mixes. They are their own breed. They come in brindle a lot and are somewhat built like the GSD/ Mali mixes but are not the samething
My 11 month old maligators name is LUNA! She is amazing and the light of my life! She is one of my children! She is amazing with my kids and is proactive of me and my kids.
please do a video on "retro pugs" when it's safe. there're barely any videos about them, and covering the breed could bring more awareness about the awful health issues of modern pugs
Agreed about the ridiculous deformed breeds because of the dog show world. I think we're finally making an impact however as this lady highlighted the issue with the deliberately deformed German Sheperds caused by idiotic dog show breeders. What they've done to the flat faced or short legged dogs is criminal based on their warped view of extremity in unique features. There's no need to keep making dogs that can't run with stubby legs or flat faced dogs that can't breathe or German Sheperds who's rear legs collapse under them with hip problems and as far as the English Bulldog Mother Nature has already recognized the devastation caused to that breed and made it impossible for them to reproduce without artificial means. We need to bring an end to this nonsense called breed standards by dog show freaks. Time to favor and promote properly functioning healthy breeds and of course mixed breeds and mutts as healthy alternatives to pure breeds in general based on a wider gene pool as well as the availability of healthy mixed breeds in shelters. I think there is room for pure breeds as well as mixed ones if we can just weed out the irresponsible breeders and their customers.
Just make sure you have the time, energy to train this dog. It’s not for everyone. It’s not your typical lap dog. If you work more than 40 hrs a week. Make sure you have someone that can make time for them. I tell you I had a friend get one! Very very hard dog to train if not with right owner. My friend didn’t have time etc. Super difficult dog. Make sure you know what your getting into before getting it. Last thing you don’t want is that dog being put down. Hope this helps.
My dog Maggie is Belgian and quite a handful. It takes a lot of training, structure and patience, to make a Malinois a family pet, but she is a family pet,( teaching her to STOP chasing and trying to herd my cats was the biggest challenge, but she’s learned to respect them and will do anything I ask! Oh how I love her, worth all the time and effort I’ve put in with her!! Love her beyond words!! Did I mention she’s also the smartest dog I’ve ever encountered, she can find anything, reads my mind if I let her, and is as lovable and protective as all get out! She climbs trees! Chewed my windowsills and made piecemeal out of my sofa, but all that naughtiness aside, she’s brilliant, lovable and I wouldn’t trade her for anything!
Got one and he is 7,5 years old.. first 4 years we spend 5148 hours of training and working... today he is retired, and my one and only love, and familydog! If you want 100% loyalty... go get one! But do the work or they will destroy you...🐕🤙
@@NoLimitDesignsLtd Thank you☺ I don't think it is nessersary to do over 5000 hours of training to get a nice Malinois..😁 But like a supercar... Don't get one as your first try out😉👍
Thanks I was looking for a new pup after a lost my akita husky. My dad saw this dog and liked it and I saw a similar and feel in love. I guess training here I come.
@@valerieanngomez3506 When you know he husky.. it allso takes some work, and kind of highdrive 😉 Damn I love them too🥰 Just be sure to really take some time and work in to the pup, and NEVER be physical hard to the mal.. when you correct them..👍They are strong but needs to feel save with the owner!! Hope you will get one... 🤗👍
I have a malinois called Zeus hes 15 months old, he's my first dog and to be honest he's doing really well. I've spent alot of time training him since he was a puppy. Mostly stuff I've seen on you tube and now I'm starting bite work with a well known trainer. I've socialised him with other dogs and people and to this day havent had any aggression issue. I feel its about the people the dog grows up with you need to be firm but fair and the dog will love, respect and be your best friend. He gets on very well with other dogs, both my kids and wife who he respects. Also I feel this dog breed is always eager and loves to learn new tricks and to do obedience training daily to keep there minds mentaly stimulated and happy meaning relaxed, along with alot of exercise too. Not for the average owner id say you need to spend alot of time with them and I keep my boy indoors that's also good to build a good relationship. Loved this video great to see working dogs doing what they do best 💙
My nephew owns a Malinois - got it as a two months old puppy. The dog is glued to its master. Personally, I perceive it as tiresome, but that attachment and focus is impressive. For a long while, though, I constantly suspected my nephew was starving the poor dog. Even if I consciously know it's the way the dog is, I constantly feel the need to feed her, when my nephew visits.
My friend and landlord had one and we kicked it off so good that it still tears me up remembering it. Never seen such a fierce hunter but the best family man ever after .... Miss this guy!
Got a puppy about a year ago, Australian cattle dog/German shepherd , this the only thing I can compare it to, just amazing animals and this is helping me learn a few tricks, sonofabithch is too smart
We have a dog just like what you're talking about but it's a catahoula mixure. He learns fast, he goes after anything moving in the yard. We believe our dog can do all these things that I've seen on video. Right now I'm disabled but work with my boy Mr. Bojangles. He's also very loving and a good all-around companion. He has climbed a straight up ladder. I was just shocked.
my daughter is in the British Army as a vet tech for these dogs and she has fallen in love with them. She was a dog handler and had 3 lovely malinois and some of the stories she tells me in Afghan about them I can truly believe what you have shown here to be true
I have a malinois. She was never trained and we adopted her at age 6, but she is still able to learn and very energetic and intelligent. My family has trained with Belgian and German Shepards and it’s truly amazing to watch.
Incredible dogs. Very impressive indeed. What's not being said much in this vid is the quality of training, nutritional, and other care. Super high maintenance- special people training special dogs. Well done!
My sister's a CSI. She hangs out around the K9 cops a lot and she's always sending pics of her petting their Malinois. They're great dogs, according to her. They even let her put on the suit and let one take her down. She said it was TERRIFYING!
I have a Malinois..She has her own compound to herself and she frequently socializes at the dog park and we exercise her daily through walks and playing ball.
My friend is in the military along with his dog asmodeus (aptly named cause he has 6 confirmed kills) is the scariest but nicest dog I have ever seen. I feel like I have to salute him thats how badass he is.
Keep trying to get my son to watch. This is my last note to him. . . “Okay, one more. I promise. You gotta see this. These tactical K-9s (Belgian Malinois) cost $250,000 after training prior to deployment. They defy physics. Awe inspiring. Jaw dropping. Heartening. Beautiful nature.
I had a Mali that I lost about 2 years ago, I still missed her and loved her dearly 😢
She was actually raised by my Jack Russell/Beagle mix (talk about a handful 😂) he actually gave her a run for her money every day! But when he developed cancer and got to where he wouldn't play with her he actually let her know it was time to stop playing.
But she protected me when I had gotten pneumonia and I couldn't even get out of bed, she just stayed beside me and kept me warm
That's sucks. I love my dog that way as well. It will be a bummer when he dies. Beautiful, athletic, and kind animal.
Sorry for your loss.
These dogs are beautiful and I love them. Instead of adopting one, which I would love love love to do. I come here to admire them, as I know I would never be able to keep up with them. I am amazed at not only how sweet and Beautiful they are but their athleticism and agility and their bravery.
That's exactly where I am, but my breed of choice is Cane corso, I love mastiff but currently my lifestyle will not be good for it, so for now just admiring
I too would love to have one but unfortunately at my advanced age it's not probable or Sensible . So will love them from afar and carry on dreaming of what can't be.
Me too

AUNQUE NO CAMBIARÍA MÍ PERRITA DE 14 AÑOS NI POR TODOS LOS HERMOSOS PERROS 🐕.
I grew up with 4 Belgian Malinois. They were used as guard dogs at my dads company, but were so sweet to me as a little girl. I could take them on walks, learn them new tricks... I loved hanging out with them and playing around. It’s an amazing dogbreed, but definitely for the experienced dog owner. Raise them right and you’ll have a wonderfull dog!
Any interest in training me ? Haha
I wish my life would support having a mal. Such an amazing being
Me too. Am in awe of these magnificent dogs. ❤
Belgian Malinois. Because even the German Shepherd needs heros.
I like that!
😃👍
Had my malinois 3 years now, was in the military so new the breed. Please don't buy one of these dogs if your not prepared to exercise them for at least 2 hours a day. These dogs are one of the only breeds left that heve not been messed around with, purely because they were only bred for working. But I have noticed over the years they are getting more popular, And are now being left at dog rescue centre's, because amateur breeders are breeding them, And selling them to people for pets. They are not indoor pets , They need something to do. Think twice and do your research, if your prepared to put the work in , you will have the cleverest most loyal friend you can imagine, these dogs will protect you with there lives, they are fantastic.
Ooooooooh
Hi
@@jenniferandcaleighaisbestf5144 My GSD gets 3h a day...... so Malinois is 2h enough?
@@nihonkokusai My two older Malinois (10-12) can deal with it when they only get two hours but the next few days, I would need to increase their activites. With my youngest (two and a half years old) there is no way that two hours would satisfy him. He'd go nutty. He likes to have activity from morning until evening. I agree whole heartedly with Dean Stephens, however, they are not good pets for anyone not familiar with the breed. I've had all sorts of working breeds in 50 years and the Malinois' needs and personality are very different than all of them.
2 hours?! People say 5! I’m so confused 😐
me: don't wanna jump out of plane..
dog: let's GOOOOOOOOOO!
What
Cuz they also parashute
That’s a perfect was to describe this dog.
@@JVonD88 Not really. That's what describes Terriers. High energy doesn't mean irresponsible - there is such a thing as a sense of responsibility in dogs too - especially shepherds, of all kinds. And Malinois, at their origin, are shepherds.
Florin Jurcovici I owned one...
Man, I'm so grateful that we as humans have this strong longtime companionship with dogs. They do so much for us, work hard for us, comfort us, and do anything to please us. We are so lucky to have them around.
Especially since we treat them so badly. 2m+ put down in the US alone annually. I have a Cane Corso, which is a very difficult breed to own if you want a well-trained, well-mannered, and well-socialized dog. I constantly see them being put into shelters because people can’t handle them. A Belgian Malinois is easily twice as difficult, and usually a lot more difficult than that. It’s a privilege for us. I appreciated your attitude.
Been a dog lover all my life.
There are definitely all types of owners in the world, but I'm always thankful for those of us who see it as more than just an additional item to remember to buy when we're out shopping (dog food😂), but truly value the relationship and give them the love, attention, & energy they deserve.
I'm a Rottweiler man to my core, but in 46yrs, have had more than a few amazing dogs in my life...
A Husky,
Golden,
Black lab.
I'm super allergic to cats, and not a big fan of them ANYway. Lol
But dogs will always hold a special place in my heart.
They're just so GOOD❤️

Indeed, dogs, horses and other wonderful animals have served us for millenniums, and we are very fortunate to have them. One thing always puzzled me, is that in almost in every culture around the world, we tend to call people that upset us _Dogs,_ *we shouldn't,* as dogs are the most faithful, loyal and honest creature we can find, they never, ever betray their human companion, so why do we use the word _dog_ as an insult. 😡
No, these Malinowski come from aggressive bloodlines! They are not normally biting type dogs!!!!!
Also, these malinois are depravation trained which makes them more inclined to please! They are headers normally so you are misrepresenting the dog breed!!!!!!!!
Good boy! Dozens of cities need you right now.
I have one at home, and while being a handful at times, she is the best, the smartest and the cutest, she cured my depression, she saved my life. Her high energy is contagious and will make any day get better.
Beautiful 😘😍
@@Animal-Watch Thank you, much love to you and your work
These dog's could possible be IMHO the smartest dog breed in the world. Never seen a dog balance while walking a glass of water on his nose. Agility and abilities are amazing.
My neighbor has a Malinois. She's extremely smart and overall a lovely dog. But if I see how much effort my neighbor puts in to physically but also mentally train her ... that's not a dog for me even if I were unemployed.
TheNighthawk00 cudos for you for acknowledging how much work it is!
Unfortunately, too many people aren't able to recognise that, or they don't want to recognise it. Thank you for not being one of these uninformed, ignorant or selfish people... It truly hurts my heart when I think of all the dogs that are bored out of their mind and not cared for adequately, then become destructive or agressive as a result of this boredom, and who are then abandoned or euthanized... Malinois, Huskys, Ridgebacks, Pit Bulls, Cane Corsos, Presas, wolfdogs, Malamutes, Border Collies ... The list goes on and on.
The only sad thing about military dogs is when they get old they will be in shelters/out of action. Some of them are injured & well yeah.. not a lot of people want them as a pet. I've seen a docu about it. Made me cry 😔
@@i.am.OK. I have an almost 1 year old staffy and a 18 week old collie, i still would not get a malinois! An hour or so a day of my undivided attention is enough. They do come everywhere with me, I've never understood people who don't spend time with their dogs
neptune. When they get older they stay with the military/policeman was in charge with them.
Best dogs ever. I had one, Kept her happy and busy by hiking camping, and hunting with me. Super attached and loyal. Lost her when she got ran over. Now I have her puppies and will give them the happiest life I can 💖
Sorry for your lose😢
Kangaroo dog kangadog? Dogaroo?🤷🏻♂️
They look handsome with those goggles on.
No they don't.
There called Rex specs I have like 50 pairs since I work with working dogs
OwO!
Hell they look awesome even without the goggles
Found the furry. :3
I ended up adopting a Malinois/Australian Cattle Dog. Ever since I got her at 3 months old, I've been doing training with her. She'll be a year old in a couple of weeks and people are quite impressed with how well behaved she is. She's going to be a service dog. She's my first Malinois. I just study as much as I can about her breed. I'm lucky that I only work 2 days a week and she goes to work with me. I'm really enjoying and loving my Malinois!
They are German Shepherds on speed! A breed that needs lots of mental and physical exercise.
Indeed! And they are called maligators for a reason. It's what you get when you cross a german shepherd with a gator, and give it a 6-pack of 5 hour energy.
I agree!
belgium malinois boffon
Everyone says this but my Malinois loves sleeping and won't go out in the rain. She's a princess.
She now had a back injury though and had paralysis, so she can't move too well... but you still can't stop the prey drive. She will drag herself across the grass to chase bunnies.
More like German Shepherds on Crack
This breed and the work they can do it’s unbelievable
These dogs are definitely one of the most versatile and amazing breeds! It’s like their brains are sponges just waiting to soak up the next challenging command to learn!
I had an amazing MAL 7 years ago. He was unbelievable and I loved him dearly.
I was constantly training and working with him as my job and still, I was not even able to tire him completly.
I am very fit, super active, sportive and extremely disciplined person.
People always asked me how it was to own a Malinois and till this day, my answer is ALWAYS the same one: -''It was a full time job '', people would laugh at my answer, and I would look at them directly saying:
-'' Yeah ... not a joke my friend. MY dog is my full time job, FOR REAL''.
I would then, explain the work and stimulation that he needs EVERYDAY.
5 years after my Mal passed away, I was on the search to adopt an other Malinois.
I went to visit many amazing breeders in different states for over a year and a half.
Slowly, I came to realized that my lifestyle has changed and my work was different. I was not sure I would be able to keep up with this breed for an other 15 years.
I am still hyper active, Uber disciplined but i dont have the time anymore to have a working dog sharing my life, plus i know too much. I know what they need and how you have to stimulate them.
I am now, the happy owner of a perfect dog to fit my present needs. He is something else let me tell you, and I dont even have to mentioned how perfectly mannered he is in every situation. He is umbelivable. I get comments on his behaviours on the daily.
Lets just say that, even though he is from a otherkind of breed, he has been trained the MALNOIS way, and he is tired for sure at the end of the day.
He is probably the dog in the best shape of our neighbourhood lol
There is not ONE week since i adopted him that is passing without me thinking:
-''Man it would of been a big mistake for me to adopt a Malinois now''.
PLEASE, trust me people:
you dont want a Malinois.
And you certainly dont want a Malinois as a pet.
They are more than what you think you can handle.
This is coming from someone who actually shared her life with one.
What breed did you get then?
A good story but however this is so interesting to know what is your new breed?
I think I’ll take this advice. I’ve been really into researching this breed and as I learned more about them the reality has set in and I’m a bit bummed to admit it but I definitely shouldn’t get one of these dogs. A good trained German Shepherd is more my speed.
This dog needs a tread mill in the house because you most likely won't have enough time to let him get all his exercises in
These dogs are insane. I have one. He's incredible, but trust me. Don't get one if you don't have the time. They will wreck your house if you don't give them the time they need, daily.
😁🙋
How long can you leave them alone for?
Well if they ever become a status symbol for young men the way German shepherds Dobermans Rottweilers Pitbulls and Staffies have in the past and present then they will be overbred and oversold by the worst among us so hopefully those creeps will remain obsessed with their bully breeds.
I think if anyone ever wants a malinois just tell them to look up some videos of desperate homeowners calling in the trainers to get their dogs to stop eating the walls of their home and imagine it's them. If someone doesn't know EXACTLY what they are getting themselves into, they aren't ready for it.
I’d hate to be a bother, but how long on average do you leave him alone while you’re at work and what do you leave him? Is someone there to watch your dog while you’re gone? You don’t have to answer this, but it’d be greatly appreciated if you did. :)
Don't get one if you're not working the dog. Actually i can't recommend them for any person who "just want a dog".
I have a Belgian Malinois. But she is not as tough as these 2 Malis on the video. She is more a cuddle baby and I love her so, so much. I take her for a walk for 2 to 3 times a day. And we have a big backyard so she can run and play together with her little brother, a Pomeranian. These 2 different breeds are doing great together.
i go on hikes with mine regularly, but these arent typical hikes. its hiking for me, but hunting for them. she is an expert at moles and rabbits, but now suffers from hip dysplasia.
Yes, if you get one, be sure you are a responsible owner... You have time to bond, exercise and socialize, if you want a dog only to stay at home, dont get malinois
@@imnelfromtechpocket5770 yup a pug would be good for stay at home
Yeah dude just get a lab. Best dog ever
I've known two Malinois. One was the most vicious (large) (but gorgeous) dog I've ever met. The other such a sweetheart. Not the fault of the dogs of course. The first one was from my aunt who just lost her husband (my favorite uncle who bought it a few months before) at the age of 43. It took her a few years to be pulled out of her depression and the dog ran wild. The latter lived at times with us at the university house. She was called Goof. We played a lot of football with her. A gentle soul (but every morning the garbage was strewn though the corridor :) Her only vice.
Anneka, great video! I had a Belgium Malinois and she was the best. She passed away last year but she lived until she was 14.5 years old. She is now is doggy heaven.
These dogs were brilliant in John Wick 3...a good example of them flexing their amazing capabilities!
Maybe I could rent one for a week to trim all the low hanging tree branches on my property???
They love doing that
jimmy fortrue LOL
Why would they rent you a $20,000 to $60,000 fully trained dog?
@@spacemanapeinc7202...
I was kidding. ( Hope that helps )
SpacemanApeINC someone got there panties in a twist
These dogs are amazing. Even the mixes are like GSDs on speed, so, be warned anyone that just wants one of these and hasn't had that experience. Our Maligator/Pitbull is an amazing dog, scary-smart, fearless, and sweet, but he was hell on wheels until about 6. Needed runs, constant training, and consistent rules. Even at 10, he's still very diligent and driven, and would run right over anyone not ready for him.
Sometimes mixes are even more extreme. I have one mixed with Siberian husky, she can run and jump for hours and won't get tired :)
I have a rescue who is a malinois mix, I’m sure she was given up because her previous owner couldn’t handle her energy. I’ve taken her and my husky mix on 6 mile trail runs, and when we get back to the house, she’s got her ball, wanting to play catch. Super smart, very trainable. (My husky mix, not so much, but that was during the summer, it may have been too hot for him. We’ll see how they like the cooler weather, and maybe longer runs.
I have a friend who trains Belgian Malis, and one day he went out, they got out of the house and he came home to find all three on his roof. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣
They were looking out for him🤣🤣
I had a black lab that would go on my roof, although she had a low patio cover she used to climb onto the roof. It sure looked funny seeing her chilling on the roof though!
@poppytw583😂😂😂😂😂
When you get a Belgian it's like heart and soul connections. I had 1 for 12 years what a joy he was, ill never forget him. 🇺🇸
Haha "Go catch the stick" Climbs tree and gets his own stick XD
Best Dog in the world!
I have a malinois and this IS a very good dog and smart
You deserve a show on discovery or animal planet or National Geographic. Excellent show as always.
Thankyou they don't know what they're missing 🤭😎
SO FOCUSED! NOTHING could break that dog's concentration! Great training! Great dogs! Well done!

Please please please don't buy one as a pet. Popularity is worst that can happen to this wonderful breed.
Indeed.
True!!
Absolutely agreed! I'm so scared of the day the breed will be overbred and extremely healthy just to be "cuter"
we accidently bought one as you can see in my profile picture, we got told they were bred with malinois 8 generations back so it was apprebtly claimed as an pure gsd, but as we noticed when she got older her traits and cost was more like malinois than a gsd, which kinda made me upset since i love the german shepherds my absolute favorite bree, ahaha. but the breeders lied. and it may be like alooot of malinois in her. and her energy level is insane. i still love my little axie tho. shes an amazing dog.
The Snowman dogs are afraid of cats.
I have a 5months old female malinois puppy. She is a perfect family dog! Yes my husband and I go walk/running twice a day each time at least 1 hour. She has such a great personality good with people, kids and other dog. They can be really good family dog if you play with them enough and well. She is so smart and goofy. Definitely the best dog ever!!!!!
I had a Malinois for his entire life, from my experience they make great pets, they are super intelligent, they are 100% loyal to their family and they love activities but not all day like a lot of people say and they adapt to your lifestyle.
I agree with you about loyalty and family friendly, and you are correct about activity, mine (a three year old)gta at least one vigorous hour and a good active walk. His disposition is great and has never tore or wrecked the house. Simply put, to me they are the best!
My son works with SF, when he’s in a mock building playing the bad guy , he says when the malinois sent in , he’d rather be face to face with al quada, than the Malinois
They don’t call them “Fur Missiles” for nothing amigo 😉
Thank him for his service

Wow thankyou! 🙇♀️
I’ve always been an avid dog lover and had the pleasure of being around many breads but these dogs are Truly super dogs
I have a GSD/Malinois mix and yes, she's quite a challenge and I love her. I'm at home all day and when I leave home I take her with me everywhere. We're a team. If she doesn't get enough stimulation she barks at the neighbor, the neighbors kid, the neighbor's mailbox, a plastic bag... or just barks. If you've seen somebody on severe withdrawal. That's her. Not a happy dog. And she becomes a pain in the ***. Don't get a dog like this if you just want a family pet. It can work as a family pet but if it does that's just a bonus.
Yeah I have a GSD/Mal, great companion but very dominate and a bully to other dogs. Not for easily stressed or inactive people
I have gsd X Mali. Beautiful little pup very quick and easy to learn and very loyal 👍🏻 I’ve not had any problems with him then again I’m out and about with him from all hours 😂
I have adopted one from a shelter without realsing it, he is a handfull, loves balls and toys but will not trade him for the world
Yup I have a GSD\Mali that drives me mad. She digs the yard up and gets destructive if she doesn't get her run in the park and work out that energy
I have an 11 month old 85lb GSD/Mal pup.
he's actually not too bad considering his age. My GSD was a much bigger pain than he is. He's very tall and skinny so he hasn't grown into his body yet and I dont let him jump off of anything higher than a out 18" because hes still growing.
should be some vids on my channel if you wanna check him out
I so wish people would see this video before buying a puppy malinois...both of mine are rescues and the shelters are full of malinois and huskies because people fall for their cute faces when they're babies but fail to realize how high maintenance they both are. The amount of exercice and mental stimulation you have to give them in order to have balanced dogs is huge. Yet when you do they are the most fantastic companions...so clever, so loyal, so gentle too.
I watched this video very carefully! This is a fantastic breed,very agile,strong and intelligent! Very compliments to you Anneka for your action,thank you very much for this wonderful video 👍👍💪💪😍
I had one of these, best dog I've had, he was abused before we got him, took about a year for him to come good, he was brought up partly by a female New Fondland in a Big backyard, a very smart dog also, they used to play as she thought him how to be alert and fight and not to be scared, he never wrecked anything and became the family protector after she died (and he did protect!) he than brought up an abused Rotweiler, playfull but sometimes very rough, who was very agresive in the beginning, but Ben sorted him out well. Ben the Malinois was a dog who became a selfassured dog who stood by himself was loyal, trustworthy, protective, loved to be with the kids but was not needy. He worked out how to open doors etc. Every three weeks or so i'd find him on the bed with us for 15 minutes and that was enough cuddles for while, He was a lot of work and a lot of time spend in the beginning, daily trips to the beach all his life, he loved swimming and biting the waves! Hard day when he went. BTW the Rotweiler took over where Ben left off.
These dogs are amazing companions and so loyal.
99% of dogs are loyal. Food = loyalty.
These are not great companions dogs. The physical and mental stimulation they require everyday is ridiculous.
@@exia1814 wrong
@@26dspoffleandspit67 wrong
I have four Belgian Malinois, 3 working line and 1 show line, and can comfortably say they make awesome companions.
Love this episode. Mom had a stalker so she got Belgians, tervs and sheepdogs. Smart, loving, fun companions with no nonsense boundaries. I grew up in a show home with these and my best pal is a mal. He’s keeping my feet warm right now, not really a great stow and go option. It’s a marriage of sorts but all benefits, no baggage. They’re not more difficult than other dogs if you give respect and empathy, just more Velcro if they bond. They get their nose in everything, trust is earned.
I get so choked up and emotional when I watch this breed train, in the movies, or showing off their skills. They are courageous and tenacious. They have the capability to be real life heros.
I am grateful, once again, that Animal Watch breaks down the breed and their personality and needs. Not just anybody should own a dog like this. Their mental health depends on them having the active, stimulating, well rounded life that their breed thrives on.
This is a beautiful and majestic dog, both lines. They fly up a wall with such grace. They jump and soar through the air. This is truly a fascinating creature. Wonderful episode Animal Watch. Great job on another educational and entertaining show.

Thankyou so much for that wonderful feedback!
Sweet and look oh so stylin’ with the goggles. I love this breed. I know I’m not the right person to have one, but they are awe inspiring. Thank you for this video.
We have a mixed german shepherd and Belgian malinois. She is one of the coolest and smartest dogs I have ever had.
I have a GSD/Mal pup myself. Just turned 11 months. Should be some videos of him on my channel
I have a Belgian Malinois . She is the best dog I have ever had . You must give them alot of activity . I am home all day with her. She has to be by my side all the time 🙂 I love 💕 her so much. My husband said she is the most clinging dog he has ever know. I like how she is so lovely . Excellent guard dog. One thing you have to use an electric collar , as she got older I couldn't walk her , without her jumping up and biting HARD!! Don't worry it's not mean. I've talked to other Belgian Malinois owners , they do the same. Very smart 🤓 I just love her so much.
Wow!! Call them Super Athletes as well of the dog world. Truly Amazing but really need to be with very experienced dog owners. Thank you Anneka for a great video.💚
That's how I love energetic kids, when they are not mine nor my responsibility 😆
Brilliant! I love working with and training dogs so I can see how these dogs are super in need of constant attention, exercise, and training. For most families it would seem these gorgeous dogs might be too much of a challenge.
I got one for my 8th birthday...he was the best babysitter I ever had. No one he didn't know could get near me. He loved towing us on our skate boards or in the ocean/lake and playing "search and rescue". He was so gentle with me that he could take a piece of pop corn out of my mouth.....with out mouths ever touching.
Love my Malagator we keep each other fit...they are so intense on getting a ball etc that they can hurt themselves ,tug games are his fave but we spend alot of time in search games loves the brain work! Having said that they're not for the average owner you need to spend the time training from the get-go and you will have one of the best dogs in the world...
Our Belgium malinois is from the police program, he's called major. He lives happily alongside our two lurchers. He is amazing, he didn't make the grade for being too edgy but he's a diamond for us, super smart, super athletic and obedient. These are serious dogs and you have to know what you are doing with this breed, think German sheperd, amplified times 100, you have to be a strong person and prepared to be the alpha!. Wouldn't be without our boy! We will never be robbed 😂
The Black Faces from Malines, as we say in Belgium! I love the breed, but wouldn't have enough stamina to keep up with one.
My boss has one of these dogs. Super friendly but the power they hold. Incredible. I thought german shepherds had the edge and rotts too but these are beasts. The dog in question had so much energy she ran into a gate, injuring herself requiring stitches. All she cared about was her ball and chewing a massive log!
What a fantastic job you do with such wonderful animals . Love your content.
Beautiful, Wonderful Dogs .
The most intelligent dog.. Good as a companion and protection dog and pet too.. This dog knows also if you are sick..
Wow.
Wow you you know a lot of history about animals IMPRESSIVE
The Belgian Malinois are so athletic they’re practically flying so they’re actually birds.
Les meilleurs dans tous les domaines. Les plus valeureux, intelligents, fidèles, d'un amour sans faille pour leur famille. Je t'aime pour toujours ma Belle❤❤❤❤❤
Belgian Malinois and german shepherd dogs are both amazing breeds! The Malinois have more drive and is more agil and faster. Thats the reason malis are used more in military and police nowadays than the GSD. On the other side the GSD have much more bite force is bigger stronger and have more intimidation factor what makes the GSD a better watch and protection Dog. Annyway a cross beetwen both makes an absolut fantastic dog!
lol apparently you haven’t been around many of these dogs. GSD are way less intimidating.
@@bradcallahan3546 once they get going or if you know the breed. in normal state malis look allot less intimidating.
trollibolli123 Your a little off on your statement. Just FYI there is a Belgian/GSD Cross, its call a Dutch Shepherd.

So amazing to see these dogs in action! Staggering.
My 11 month old maligators name is LUNA! She is amazing and the light of my life! She is one of my children! She is amazing with my kids and is proactive of me and my kids.
please do a video on "retro pugs" when it's safe. there're barely any videos about them, and covering the breed could bring more awareness about the awful health issues of modern pugs
Yes! I second that! Fantastic idea.
Agreed about the ridiculous deformed breeds because of the dog show world. I think we're finally making an impact however as this lady highlighted the issue with the deliberately deformed German Sheperds caused by idiotic dog show breeders. What they've done to the flat faced or short legged dogs is criminal based on their warped view of extremity in unique features. There's no need to keep making dogs that can't run with stubby legs or flat faced dogs that can't breathe or German Sheperds who's rear legs collapse under them with hip problems and as far as the English Bulldog Mother Nature has already recognized the devastation caused to that breed and made it impossible for them to reproduce without artificial means. We need to bring an end to this nonsense called breed standards by dog show freaks. Time to favor and promote properly functioning healthy breeds and of course mixed breeds and mutts as healthy alternatives to pure breeds in general based on a wider gene pool as well as the availability of healthy mixed breeds in shelters. I think there is room for pure breeds as well as mixed ones if we can just weed out the irresponsible breeders and their customers.
A step above the normal. Fantastic.👍
i love the Belgian Malinois i want one when i get older
Just make sure you have the time, energy to train this dog. It’s not for everyone. It’s not your typical lap dog. If you work more than 40 hrs a week. Make sure you have someone that can make time for them. I tell you I had a friend get one! Very very hard dog to train if not with right owner. My friend didn’t have time etc. Super difficult dog. Make sure you know what your getting into before getting it. Last thing you don’t want is that dog being put down. Hope this helps.

Did I mention she’s also the smartest dog I’ve ever encountered, she can find anything, reads my mind if I let her, and is as lovable and protective as all get out! She climbs trees! Chewed my windowsills and made piecemeal out of my sofa, but all that naughtiness aside, she’s brilliant, lovable and I wouldn’t trade her for anything!
Got one and he is 7,5 years old.. first 4 years we spend 5148 hours of training and working... today he is retired, and my one and only love, and familydog!
If you want 100% loyalty... go get one!
But do the work or they will destroy you...🐕🤙
Every potential Malinois owner should read this comment!
@@NoLimitDesignsLtd Thank you☺ I don't think it is nessersary to do over 5000 hours of training to get a nice Malinois..😁 But like a supercar... Don't get one as your first try out😉👍
what do you mean by "destroy" ?
Thanks I was looking for a new pup after a lost my akita husky. My dad saw this dog and liked it and I saw a similar and feel in love. I guess training here I come.
@@valerieanngomez3506 When you know he husky.. it allso takes some work, and kind of highdrive 😉 Damn I love them too🥰 Just be sure to really take some time and work in to the pup, and NEVER be physical hard to the mal.. when you correct them..👍They are strong but needs to feel save with the owner!!
Hope you will get one... 🤗👍
I have a malinois called Zeus hes 15 months old, he's my first dog and to be honest he's doing really well. I've spent alot of time training him since he was a puppy. Mostly stuff I've seen on you tube and now I'm starting bite work with a well known trainer. I've socialised him with other dogs and people and to this day havent had any aggression issue. I feel its about the people the dog grows up with you need to be firm but fair and the dog will love, respect and be your best friend. He gets on very well with other dogs, both my kids and wife who he respects. Also I feel this dog breed is always eager and loves to learn new tricks and to do obedience training daily to keep there minds mentaly stimulated and happy meaning relaxed, along with alot of exercise too. Not for the average owner id say you need to spend alot of time with them and I keep my boy indoors that's also good to build a good relationship. Loved this video great to see working dogs doing what they do best 💙
My nephew owns a Malinois - got it as a two months old puppy. The dog is glued to its master. Personally, I perceive it as tiresome, but that attachment and focus is impressive.
For a long while, though, I constantly suspected my nephew was starving the poor dog. Even if I consciously know it's the way the dog is, I constantly feel the need to feed her, when my nephew visits.
These dogs are clearly amazing, but hats off to the trainers, wow! Power is nothing without control.
Awe I love them in their gear ! Lol the little goggles and ear muff things!! ❤️
My friend and landlord had one and we kicked it off so good that it still tears me up remembering it. Never seen such a fierce hunter but the best family man ever after .... Miss this guy!
Wow another amazing episode, thank you very much 💓
Got a puppy about a year ago, Australian cattle dog/German shepherd , this the only thing I can compare it to, just amazing animals and this is helping me learn a few tricks, sonofabithch is too smart
Bravo! Fantastic documentary. Thank you.
Hello from Belgium...I know them very well...they're so beautifull...
Ohmigod...These dogs are badass big time. To be respected.
We have a dog just like what you're talking about but it's a catahoula mixure. He learns fast, he goes after anything moving in the yard. We believe our dog can do all these things that I've seen on video. Right now I'm disabled but work with my boy Mr. Bojangles. He's also very loving and a good all-around companion. He has climbed a straight up ladder. I was just shocked.
Very informative, thanks again!
my daughter is in the British Army as a vet tech for these dogs and she has fallen in love with them. She was a dog handler and had 3 lovely malinois and some of the stories she tells me in Afghan about them I can truly believe what you have shown here to be true
Wow. Cool dogs 🐕 that real life heroes! Thank you for your utubes ! 🐕👏👏🙌
I have a malinois. She was never trained and we adopted her at age 6, but she is still able to learn and very energetic and intelligent. My family has trained with Belgian and German Shepards and it’s truly amazing to watch.
Incredible dogs. Very impressive indeed. What's not being said much in this vid is the quality of training, nutritional, and other care. Super high maintenance- special people training special dogs. Well done!
Anneka's love for dogs is so pure and amazing
My sister's a CSI. She hangs out around the K9 cops a lot and she's always sending pics of her petting their Malinois. They're great dogs, according to her.
They even let her put on the suit and let one take her down. She said it was TERRIFYING!
Ive been a "bad guy" when My local k9 train.
I am 6'3 270pounds and padded Up
Still terriyfying
I have a Malinois..She has her own compound to herself and she frequently socializes at the dog park and we exercise her daily through walks and playing ball.
ANNEKA SVENSKA IS VERY LUCKY MEET THIS AMAZING DOGS
My friend is in the military along with his dog asmodeus (aptly named cause he has 6 confirmed kills) is the scariest but nicest dog I have ever seen. I feel like I have to salute him thats how badass he is.
