- ROCKY WAS ADOPTED! Please enjoy the video, but do NOT contact the shelter....
ROCKY WAS ADOPTED.... Thank you to whoever saved him!!!
Here's the information I have about ROCKY. Please note that I will try to monitor if the dog is still available...
I'll leave the video up, but will note here in the description if ROCKY is still available.
Meet Rocky! He is smart, handsome and looking for someone to love. Rocky is easy to leash and he enjoys walks. In the yard he enjoys exploring and sniffing all the scents. Rocky knows his sit command and loves to play fetch! He's waiting for someone to take him home and give him the attention he deserves. Contact Harbor Shelter and make an appointment to meet Rocky.

Nothing hurts a breed more than becoming popular
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And that's an indisputable fact !
We got a malinois /healer because of allergies .
What a handful !
I recently adopted/rescue a 10 Yo mini Schnauzer, with a litany of issues according to the owners; barking, incontinence, nips, pulling on leash. He has some health issues, they probably didn't want to deal with, and was allowed to have his own way, so he required discipline and needed to learn to Trust. This dog just wants to please someone who offers stability. THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE DOG! I'm so glad I took a chance on him.
Dang if that isn’t the truth tho 😔
I didnt want a mal, but I found a shep/mal mix and I couldnt help myself. Hes a handful, hes a butthead, but hes so friendly and loving I wouldnt give him up for the world.
Actually I think Id sell him for like 10k. But I still love him!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT I SWEAR. i have a 13 mo old Golden Retriever ( 90 lb super amazing dog ) that grew up around 3 Malinois. Of those 3 only 1 remains with its family. Now, i see all the bad things that breeds like BM go through. It reqlly aggravates me now seeing them suffer. Along with many other dog breeds.
I got my Malinios in a shelter. He is about 10 months old. he was found wandering and no one claimed him. AMAZING dog!!
I found mine around 5 months in the woods in bad shape in snow storm in Cali mountains starved and chewed up chain marks cut into the neck
@@ryno856 lucky dog you rescued him!
How lucky u r,, I spent half of my 15 years savings to get two of them....
I gaze upon my Malinois, and feel absolutely fortunate to have a breed that came from the work of nature, and many men/woman over the centuries. They are amazing creatures that came to challenge us, and love us deeply.
I found my Mal at a rural Humane Society just outside Phoenix. He was just shy of four months old. I couldn't believe nobody had adopted him, but I'm grateful he didn't go to the wrong home. His mom was at the shelter when she was pregnant, so my guy had been there since birth. I have a senior Mal, so I'm familiar with the breed. My little guy has been with us for just over two months. He is the sweetest, smartest boy. Lots of energy, of course, but that's what I expected. You can find great dogs at shelters.
The fact that Rocky knows so few commands tells me the former owners weren't the right people for him, I hope his new people are challenging his mind and encouraging him to live up to his full potential.
I love how Robert emphasizes and focuses on the "good" dogs in shelters, how he recommends finding the "good" ones, not trying to save the critically damaged ones. Based on Cesar Milan shows & social media, I thought ALL shelter dogs are a disaster, struggling with PTSD issues way above my skills & abilities to handle. But THERE ARE some great dogs there! I'm so glad to hear Rocky got adopted, I hope he's in a good home where he's fully appreciated now.
I just rescued my male from Maricopa shelter, he was going to be put down April 2nd. They cause he was dog reactive, horrible on leash and not trained at all. I brought him home, he has other dog best friends, he now knows the basic commands, doesn’t chew anything, great on the leash and I’ve had him for a week
Big difference between an attack and a correction between dogs. Never ceases to amaze me how few people have any clue what their dog's behavior means.
I couldn’t agree more.
💯💯💯 I have a socialized terrier who doesn't like puppies for obvious reasons and when she snarled and snapped at my friends puppy she freaked out.. im over here like.. uh, they are dogs, it's how they get puppies in line.
I have a male Dutch Shepherd and a female GSD/Greyhound mix that are 4 months apart and let me tell you when the girl gets rough... I fear for the poor boy's life 😂Those mean little faces she makes! They play rough constantly and I never panic but sometimes other people will see this behavior and call it "aggressive" or they'll think the girl is trying to eat the poor boy when really she's just correcting him for chewing on her paws or ears or whatever obnoxious behavior he was guilty of at the time. I'm glad she took to him and helps me keep him in line!
I have an adhd delinquent of a dog that had no socialization skills and used to bite much too hard. I think every other rescue I have has smacked him down and told him off at least once.
Not a one of them drew blood despite him having done so. His manners are much improved.
I agree...and diff between play drive and play drive...and when to reward and when to correct..and how to introduce dogs with high energy. I am concerned at the course content in a.behav.degrees as opposed to real time in the field knowledge. Can't compare the 2...
Just found this channel because we are fostering/adopting our 3rd Malinois or Malinois mix since we found our first one in the LA pound in 2002. He was found as a stray and listed as a shepherd mix. Back then few people knew what a Malinois was. He was really emaciated and we noticed he had a breeeder’s tattoo in his ear and pointed this out to the staff. They said that since he had an identifying mark they would have to hold him for two more weeks. Two more weeks later, he was ours and we have never looked back.
Good for you. You must be giving yr dog a job and exercise unlike his first bad placement.
"You just need to have a brain in your head!" Love that!!!
No longer in the shelter's database. Looks like Rocky got adopted.
Yay, good for him he's out of the shelter and away from the idiot that gave him up. Hope he gets all he needs to live out the rest of his happy days in a good home
Good
Short and simple. I went through a responsible and long interview to buy this breed. I had to provide surroundings of my property, my employment, my availability to this breed. Beyond the best breed of a dog if you are ready to adjust your lifestyle to this breed of a dog needs. Best breed ever.
I got a Malinois a couple months ago from a local person who was a breeder but had an unexpected litter that they weren't planning for. My wife and I had been talking about getting a dog. A Malinois wasn't even on our radar. We had no idea what they even were. I was at the vet with my cat when she was there with her puppies and I stated I was interested in adopting a dog. I knew nothing about how difficult a Malinois would be to raise and train but I spent a month researching it and found out. Still adopted her. Her name is Artemis and there isn't anything on this Earth that would make me give her up! I have been watching hundreds of videos from a plethora of TH-camrs on how to train her. She is doing well and I take her weekly to a local place to play with a bunch of other puppies and people. There are times where I am frustrated and tired due to her sheer endless energy and there are times I worry but ultimately, I know it will be fine. I know where to go for the information and help I need and Artemis will never not be loved. Pisses me off to no end that someone would choose to keep their new Husky over another dog. Artemis is my family. I couldn't imagine life without her.
Belgians are just special! I too was exhausted by a Belgian puppy, also just loved him. They are so smart, it’s a daily challenge. I called it a daily negotiation with my male. I put the time in and the training and as an adult he was so special. I loved him even more. The bond they require is surprising. As we trained each other!!! Enjoy that high energy intelligent puppy. Best dog you will ever have!!! Belgian pups can be exhausting, but you will love love the adult!!
Every now and then I have an...oh I need 5 mins peace...and shut doggie gate and lie on my bed with a cuppa...I get you😅 but 5 mins later those superintelligent ears poking over the gate at top of stairs...Well I just have to get up and give em a rub and hug and kiss my girl...she's more than family. She's my world and I'd never part with her...she's taught me a new level of training..by letting me train her.. with yes..tennis balls...
“You just need a fricking brain”. Spot on, Robert! Sorry to miss the live show, but great “rant”-pitch for this guy.
I found my 1 year old Malinois at a shelter a few months ago when she was 8 months. I saw her and went the next day. I live in a small town and through word of mouth I found out her whole story and my family actually knows the previous owner. The owners were talked into giving her up because she was neurotic and they were having problems with the dog biting and scratching them. Around town within weeks of me having her I was told “this is a different dog”. “She is so calm and such a sweet girl. “. Like this video says in the right hands these dogs as amazing. In the wrongs hands you can actually cause behavioral issues which can harm you and the dog. I’m not going to lie it is a lot of work. Training, jogging, “fetch” , dog nap, dog park, river, swimming, tennis balls. Everyday, but I love it and I now have a great dog.
I found my Mal at a rural Humane Society just outside Phoenix. He was just shy of four months old. I couldn't believe nobody had adopted him, but I'm grateful he didn't go to the wrong home. His mom was at the shelter when she was pregnant, so my guy had been there since birth. I have a senior Mal, so I'm familiar with the breed. My little guy has been with us for just over two months. He is the sweetest, smartest boy. Lots of energy, of course, but that's what I expected. You can find great dogs at shelters.
Same story for mine! How did my beautiful GSD/BM stay in a shelter for 6 months? She was a puppy in an apartment with a couple the rescuers thought might have been very harsh with her and her only exercise was in a dog park. She knew nothing at 18 months and the owners said she was “too energetic and became too rough with their small dog”. She knew nothing when I got her, not even housebroken and I had her fully trained in 4 months and right now she is the absolutely love of my life. They did not deserve her, she was meant to be mine and she lives in a pack with 5 other dogs in our home. She is the most fun dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. One day I will rescue another one when we have room.
Adopted our Mal from the local shelter. She was approx 1.5 years at the time. She’s the smartest dog we’ve ever had. She is good for me and I her. A wonderful hiking companion. Everyone loves her in the neighborhood and at the office. She pees and poops only on gravel instead of grass. That training happened in one week. Wonderful dogs, Only for people who make time for them. When you give them your time, they give you obedience, comfort, laughter and love.
Rocky will be adopted asap with your help doing this show and talking about him!❤
People are unfreakingbelievable. I can’t with this. I just can’t. I’m glad he found a home, but my heart is broken for the time he spent in agony when he got DUMPED by his family of 5+ years and who knows what kind of home he went into.
About 3 years ago, I met a marine right out of the service , he had a young Malinois about 1 year old. He was living in a little apartment . He was having a child so he couldn't keep the dog anymore. No room. He asked me if I would like to take him. Me and Sarge have been together ever since. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. He had a few problems at first because he was always in his crate. He hasn't seen a crate since then. He loves my family. Had to spend a lot of time with him. He turned out to be the best dog ever
I'm a full time kennel lead at a no kill shelter. Watching for tips on our Malinois. We've had her a month now. I'm very fortunate to be working with her. Unpredictably beautiful dog. She's like the physical equivalent to a game of chess! Love working with dogs!!!!
We recently adopted a 2 year old Malinois who was abandoned by his prior adopters. A bunch of BS, full of lies, etc. He almost got adopted by highly unqualified folks. Luckily he fell into the right hands with us and now he’s a dream of dog just 3 weeks later. I hate when this crap happens. Thanks for sharing
I am very happy for you and your new family member .
Becky Watt thanks! Appreciate it! He’s the best & im glad he landed in the right hands.
Is the dog vegan?
I love watching Goofy doing a bit of counter surfing in the background!
I think possibly the owners lied about Rocky attacking the Yorkiepoo because they maybe realised they’d taken on too much with the Husky puppy. I sure hope he gets the best home for him. I’m currently fostering a 8-10 year old Staffie from a rescue shelter who has cancer so he’s ours until he needs to be put to sleep. Really smart dog. Not in pain at present but not re-homable due to vet bills. Had him 12 weeks and am curing his severe fear reactivity with other dogs. He’s a sweet boy. Greetings from Bristol UK. You do a great job Robert.
Yes. I have been trying to get this dog out the Harbor Shelter for 6 weeks, contacted a rescue group and all. Thank you Robert
P.S. The reason I have not adopted him is I have a geriatric special needs dog. If there is a way to make it work and if Robert has some suggestion, I'd be glad to take adopt him
You’d be better off to advocate for him. Take care of your dog first.
@@RobertCabralDogs Thank you for your reply. Let me know how I can help him. I am local (Hollywood) and am also available to help with tasks for Rocky (including local transpo). Thank you again for doing this video. I have fallen in love with this dog when I first saw his pic on the shelter's site and now that i see vids of him, he is amazing. When I called the shelter the employee I spoke with at intake said someone gave the dog to the people that dumped him. I tend to believe that as I don't think the "owners" that dropped him off would have been able to train him so well. Best D
Hmmm...per comments below, someone gave him to the people that surrendered him. Usually that happens with job loss, foreclosures, etc. New owner wasnt prepared for a malinois, even if they knew him with previous owner.
I am a single guy owns his own home with a fairly large backyard I’m home 90 to 95% of the time and I have been looking for this type of dog, so I would love to adopt this dog and I am financially able to do so!!
Check out the malinois rescues. More and more great dogs are in need of homes.
I got adopted by a mix. I kept her because I could tell she was a hi energy dog, and I have had other high energy dogs. (Like you said she plays a little hard, or did, now she is a great dog that is ready to please. 24/7.) I knew if an average dog owner tried to take her on, she'd either be in the pound, or loose in the street... I've had her three years and spend at least two hours a day with her, not counting the time she and I enjoy living in and out of the house. She definitely gives back more than most dogs do, she is very smart... definitely a high energy prey driven dog, and extremely loyal. I've been rewarded for taking care of her.
If the previous owners can’t stop this dog from pulling on a lead how will they deal with a Husky?
They won't unless they get professional help. It will be dumped by the time it's four. Given away, taken to a shelter or had the collar removed so the next time it escapes it won't be brought back and will become someone else's problem.
@Carl Stirling not necessarily as Mali's are very tractable compared to a Husky and Husky"s are bred to pull. I own a 7 year old Mali x Herder as well 2 working line GSD's but i wouldn't want a Husky.
😄😅🤣😂😂
@Carl Stirling oh no.
@@ianwhite5799 What bothers me is... Huskies (other "arctic breeds" are bred to run). Why try to raise them ... in an apartment, condo or 'modern' 3 - 4 bedroom house... which is built on 2500 or 3000 sq ft lot. (only 10, 15 feet between houses; then they wonder why the neighbors resent when the dogs, bark, howl or whine... No front yard and barely enough room for a BBQ and 2 or 3 lawn chairs! If you don't have time to walk your dog... then I doubt if you have the time, dedication or animal sense to teach them how to run alongside a Bike rider without an extreme danger of pulling you off the bike.
Smart dogs/working dogs; quickly learn how to either climb over, under or destroy fences of less than 6 ft. (which is the std in most housing developments) ... they are escape "artists" ... running, for them is not just a desire... its a necessity. Most working dog, will 'push' the limits - to find where they stand in the pack. If you can't set the limits ... then don't expect them to stop pushing.
Personally... I hate. Designer / hybrid dogs...! You can't just mix dog breeds, like pain swatches - looking for that "perfect" formula; which matches your 'Lifestyle'. Far as I am concerned, if you aren't ready to invest "half a life time" into creating a dog breed, then don't even bother! ... What happens to all the throw-away (failures?).
When you look at some breeds (like the GSD, Dobermann Pinscher ... they have 'only been recognized breeds, since the last 100 years or so) finally, becoming 'more or less stable. and NOW, you find folks who want to mix them with everything from Pit, rottweilers, "Dogos", Great Danes ... as if they are mixing varietal wines - to get the "perfect flavor"!
I’m a few years late for this video. I got a male Malinois and I freaking love him. I couldn’t ever imagine taking him to a shelter. He’s easy to train and learns super fast. I read a handful of books about Malinois before I made the decision and don’t regret it one bit reading them books. We also have a toy Aussie, a mini Aussie, Golden Lab, and a Golden Retriever and they all get along great. Best dog I’ve ever owned is my Malinois Gunner.
I agree totally. The malinois wants to restore "peace in the house" and the owners think he/she is "agressive".
We got our Mal mix from a shelter and she is the best dog. Now we have a full blood Mal and I love training and playing with them. They are my life. We took our mix to new orleans and she loved visiting bourbon street and was even allowed on ghost tours.
I just watched your video two years later still ace, she gave that dog about four different commands to do one thing, only just started watching your videos,they are amazing how much knowledge you have, I had two American bulldogs, and a victoran bulldog great dogs UK, do you ever have problems with American bulldogs, my two we're ace mother and daughter awesome breed 😎👌👍
Having fostered Malinois for a rescue they are lovely dogs, the issue is they need to get a lot of attention. People need to be training minded when having one of these dogs, they are not dogs you bring home and leave to themselves. I deal with far too many owners who get dogs who do not understand the breed they are geting and hand them in, it is the dog that sufffers.
Let’s hope Rocky gets a great home..
So glad he got a home
Mals are amazing dogs. I had a husky for 15 years and now have a 6 month old Mal. They will challenge your resolve at times but you work through it because you have committed to a life. To many people pick a breed on look and ignore Genetics. You need to be able handle, assess and correct behaviours like that.
If that Mal wanted to hurt that tiny dog it would have in split second.
It didn't. We all know this. They had to come up with a porkies to justify getting a new toy and not wanting the old one...sadly that lie may have got him put down...people. I never believe the stories. Ever. I got a so called killer horse 6 male burly grooms couldn't handle. Settled down..2 weeks...then I guessed he had a bad tooth. Equine dentist confirmed. He was a polish warm blood. Horse equivalent. Of Mali. Big pussycat. With a wicked play drive. Sadly badly damaged by every training camp under the sun. Worst began with p. Word. Say no more. Emporers new clothes. Good training is common sense really.
I can try to imagine what happened.
Rocky tried to protect the husky pup from the Yorkie by warning.
I hope he goes to a good home this time 🏡
Some people suck! We have two small dogs (< 10 lbs.) and four medium/large dogs (working Border Collie size). Some times when they play, you would think the little ones are in serious trouble because of the noise, but no one gets hurt and tails continue to wag. Love your videos, Robert!
The moment you said "yorkiepoo" I thought "OH NO!" So few people get the right dogs for them and their household. Not to mention when they do get a dog, they enforce zero boundaries from the get-go and wonder why things go wrong. I really wish more people made informed decisions when it comes to dog purchase or adoption. They'd be much more prepared for the possible "problem scenarios," if they were honest with their time, capabilities and got the dog who is right for them instead of the dog they think is the cutest or the toughest. I fear for the number of dogs who will wind up in shelters post-pandemic when people go back to work and realize they "don't have time for their dog anymore." Sad.
Thank you for everything you do and for helping people to be more educated about their dog decisions.
Oh I think my shepherd is actually a malinois and she’s phenomenal with the small kids!! And our chickens and she does have the nipping but she’s amazing!!!
I'm a dog grandma of a 3 yr.old female malinois and she is truly my best dog ever. When I was very sick and she wouldn't leave my side. I ❤ rebel they are an amazing dogs. I need a malinois for emotional support dog, they can be protective but that's what I want and it is a working dog & absolutely amazing ❤ ❤
I've been looking for a dog like this for the last few months. I going to called them today.
:)
Git er done !!!!!
Same .
How'd it go?
6- 12 months down the line the husky will be looking for a new home. People are stupid getting dogs for vanity reasons. You have a dog to fit your lifestyle and capabilities. And to give the dog what it needs. They are living feeling beings. Not for posing around with. Until you get fed up with them. Be sensible people, don't be one those stupid shallow people, stop dumping animals they are living beings. I managed to say this with swearing. Phew.
There's another Belgium Malinois in a Los Angeles shelter located on Lacy St. My daughter brought him home when he was 4 months old. Left him with any and everyone to watch him so she could run a muck. Either he got out or her "friend" let him out, now he's at a shelter. It hurts my heart knowing Kujo is where he is. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and have two small dogs. My home isn't the right kind of home for a Malinois. If I had a house I would have taken him from my daughter. Kujo is a great dog, he just needs a good home with the right kind of training. Please mention him on your channel. He deserves a forever home.
I'd like to add that the shelter listed he's 2 years old. He's not even a year old yet, he's still a puppy.
I have had friends who have huskies. If they can't handle that mal, I don't know if a husky is gonna work out that well.
Handsome dog & looks like a great temperament. So sad for him to be tossed aside.
People just don’t understand some things ! The needs of the dog . You so right about everything!
Having had Siberians almost all my life, and having had a Malinois for the last 6 years, if they can't handle the Malinois, they can't handle a Siberian. I question what breeder they got the Malinois from and why there wasn't a contract stating if they couldn't keep the dog, the dog had to be returned to the breeder? Or perhaps the breeder was never even contacted. I know where that's happened before, so it wouldn't surprise me.
Could have been "backyard bred" by someone with a nice well bred mali who just trusted the word of the people who bought his puppies.
@@llallo97 Could have been. There is a kennel in one of the former Soviet block countries that's been sending dogs over to North America and now the Amish are breeding them. They are actually fairly decent looking. You just hope people put more research into buying a dog than they do buying a dishwasher...
Could have been afraid to face the breeder.
Maybe the breeder tried to help them work through their issues and the owners weren't interested.
@@skamm5012 the Amish run a large number of the puppy mills in the US. A lot of them are awful. They use animals, they don't keep them as pets.
Thats on awesome dog...and an amazing Mal...well done sir....
6 months ago i got a Mal from a rescue and she has been the best dog ever! Petharbor was a great resource, i got a notification whenever a Mal showed up, i met some beautiful Mals in the shelters.
Pisses me off too. They shouldn’t be able to have any dogs. My 10 year old granddaughter said to me while watching this video that getting a dog is at least a 10 year commitment. Like I said that is from a 10 year old that obviously has more brains than the previous owners of poor Rocky. She also does amazing with my 2 malinois.
And 10s of thousands of dollars.
Thank you for this message
Got throughout 9 minutes and felt like throwing up, poor guy, thanks Robert for all you do for animals!
As an owner of two Malinois. It sickens me when people get the wrong dog and it winds up getting re-homed in some way. Or worse, put to sleep. If I didn't already have two, I'd have adopted him.
My 19 month male has a bad case of separation anxiety, because of being re-homed 3 times within his first 11 months of life. Thankfully it's getting better.
Hello Robert love hearing what you gave to say and your passion for animals
Thank you Robert
I say keep doing what you are doing. Informing people!
You are 100% correct that folks should learn a LOT about their breed of choice *before* purchasing a "cool" dog, but please don't shame people by calling owner release "dumping"!
This is what shelters DO: prevent actual dumping. (Real dumping is when they get dropped off in the woods or on a riverbank.)
These owners did the responsible thing when they realized they could not provide the right environment. Could they have returned him to the breeder? We don't know. But it sounds like Rocky deserved a better placement, and he got it.
Shelters should be used to shelter dogs that were dumped. People dropping dogs at shelters and walking away guilt free is wrong. Many then go and get another dog, sometimes younger, cuter, etc. tens of thousands are dumped by owners every year. A pathetic abs callous act.
@@RobertCabralDogsYou know what's callous? Dropping off a litter of sick puppies in the jungle, which is what we are dealing with every day. At least Rocky's owners made sure he'd have a chance. Bottom line though, we agree on this: don't get a Mal (or any other breed) just because they're cool! 🤦♀️
Robert, THANK YOU for helping Rocky! Right on!
Any one who had to ask Robert if they should get the dog, shouldn't get that dog.
Good point.
Yeah it’s silly to ask questions.
Really hope he gets a good and forever home.
I hope Rocky gets a loving home.
Respect to you. Love the video and the reason you share as passionately as you have. 👍
Heartbreaking, what a good boy. Appreciate all your truths, amen!
Super handsome and lovely dog!
I have the same dog it's only 6 months old and I love it
omg just stumbled across your channel. Love it. Agree man. Glad you are advocating common sense and critical thinking with people's life style and breeds that fit it.
Just wanna say a BIG Thank You for what u done for this dog, and for this amazing breed. Agree with everything you say about Malinois, and about their owners (i mean owners) not "idiots" Thank you, keep doing what you are doing!!!!
Good luck Rocky boy! I hope the bestest owner gets to get him.
I’m so glad Rocky was adopted!
Great video Robert! I rescued my Malinois and found an absolutely gem! Hope Rocky finds an amazing family to make happy 😊
I’m late finding you but I’m definitely on your rant wagon.😤😤😤 Glad he got his forever
home💖
Hopes for Rocky to a good home!
Omg he looks amazing !
I just shake my head with some of the dogs that end up in shelters. I adopted a high drive herding breed 2 years ago, I didn't want to know WHY he was surrendered, I'm just glad I found him. Trendy breeds suffer in the hands of people who have no idea about the breed, the traits, and character. Hopefully Rocky will find a good Mali aware owner
I love Malinois. I would never get rid of such a sweet heart. I hope he finds a great home. I would take him in a second but I have three.
Aloha! Been watching your videos and love the way you train! 🤙🏼🌺
That first video made me tear up. What a good boy, how could his family ever dump him?
I feel for the husky... I'm thinking this husky pup will be available, as well.
What a good boy, wish I wasn't 3000 miles away.
That dog looks great for a family
I once left my dog with a dog sitter and when we got back we had to pay $70 to bail her out of the shelter because said dog sitter left the door open. They asked us how old she was I said, “eight,”
“Oh we put her age at around four or five,”
So I definitely agree with the whole “shelters are really bad with age,” statement.
😆 I have a 4 year old male Husky and just got a female Malinois puppy.
Thank you Mr. Cabral. I hope this ''rant'' pays off.
Omg he is so sweet!
Ty
I so agree this is also true for german shepherd I have had 3 and they also need plenty of training and it breaks my heart when I see so many advertised when they get to about 3 because they have not put the training in, and spent time with the dog
hope he finds his furever home with people he can be what he is: a mali❤
we cannot save everyone robert i am like you sometimes get miffed about what humans do and sometimes i try to help like you are trying to help here,unfortunetly life goes on and a lot of crap happens every day,well done on putting this out there even if one person listens and changes its worth it
I cry daily following certain Facebook channels about shelters. ( We have 4 straydogs )
malinois are wonderful dogs
Mr. Robert......First I would like to tell you you’re A Gift from GOD. You’re love Passion loyalty to Dogs 🐶. You put God ,Dogs be for yourself, I watch your video over and Over. One Day I hope I am half the man or dog trainer You are......
I’ve had 2 Belgian Tervurens. I loved my Belgians beyond what I thought possible. I competed in obedience and tracking. Had so much fun!! Amazing dogs. I was taking my male Epic in schitzund. So heartbreaking, he developed epilepsy at 15 months. To return him to his breeders would have been a death sentence for him. I took care of him every day. I love their intelligence, and love to work. A mal was my next want. But in life things happen. I have 1 hip replacement and need a second. Even though my dream is a mal or another male tervuren, I’m not doing it because they need someone who can keep up with them physically. My heart is broken without a Belgian.
Have you considered a schipperke? They are very closely related to Belgian Shepherds.
Some people who had Belgians had a s
I knew of a few people that had Belgians that also had a sckipperky. (Sp). Did not know that. I then lost my beautiful male at 6 years old to lg cell carcinoma. At this point I was sick of dealing with the breeders. Extensive contract only if it benefits the breeders. I was so broken that for 6 months I couldn’t get out of bed. I wouldn’t believe a reputable breeder again. Epic was to be my last dog. And I miss him so much.
A friend of my brother's bred his female with my brother's male. His female had 12 puppies. They sold 11 and kept one of the males. They have 5 dogs but they train them. They vetted and turned down some buyers because they wanted good homes. My brother chose not to take one because he is busy remodeling his house and training his 18 month male. His male is from lineage used in police work. He starts training with a professional this month, although people think he is well behaved. The trainer thinks he has a lot of potential. He is ex-military and an experienced trainer. He is going to help my brother build an obstacle or exercise course. His dogs compete. He is really excited about working with my brother's dog. Everyone falls in love with him. Even though I am elderly, I dog sit for him. His dog is active but really sweet. He is my buddy.
He looks just like my two mals, Bonnie and Clyde. Wish I was closer so I could adopt him 😢❤
2 months + in a shelter. Sad. Saw a 4 y/o male Malinois when I went looking for a dog. Went home with senior female GSD. Sweet, calm, gentle (with health needs). She is a perfect fit for what we can do for her. Now thyself .....
Hello from Bellingham Washington!
Great video Robert!
Sure hope Rocky finds a proper home.
Clicked on the link and appears Rocky was adopted! Hopefully to a better family that will be good custodians for him
I am a novice trainer of horses and owned many already trained horses. (All but 1) I live in Colorado where It took years to find a country place bcs across US it was so desirable a town. So... many people wanted to own horses with zero horse experience. To boot they didn't ride and would take anyone's word on what level of training the horse had. What a disaster. People need lessons in horsemanship just as people need dogmanship before getting any high drive or hearding dog. Dogs and horses have become accessories. Many more dogs as they are easier to have in a home. Very sad. People hurt, animals hurt or both wind up with more issues to retrain. Thanks for what you share for free.
And he's been there since early July.. damn.. Hopefully he finds a home that understands the breed..
I'm guessing rocky was smart enough to know that the husky was a puppy. The little dog probably would bark at the puppy then rocky thought hey leave the baby alone.
Hi Robert, given the interest this live video has generated in Rocky and how quickly he was adopted would you consider doing more vids like this one in which you feature one (or more) Mal even in shelters throughout the Country to give your viewers a chance to give a dog a forever home? "Shelter Mal(s) of the month (or week) would be a great resource and some of us would be able to provide you with animals' info. Just a thought D
Please give us a update once someone adopt Rocky
And what if ignorant people adopt him and do not intend to train him and say the usual ignorant reasons why not... ? Will you want an update or ONLY if you get what you want? Many big shelters adopt a dog out as long as the applicant qualifies on basic questions.
@@DougHinVA it's common sense don't get the fucker if you can't handle it.
