The Malinois - Belgian Shepherd.
Whenever we talk about a breed, it is a generalisation but there is a reason that we use terriers for ratting, and retrievers for retrieving.
There is a growing trend in the UK to say things like "if you're not racist then you shouldn't be breedist" if you genuinely believe this then I ask you one question.... Would you recommend an inexperienced first time dog owner buy a Malinois?
I certainly wouldn't recommend a Malinois to most homes. They are high maintenance and specialist dogs.
Every dog is a individual and there will always be exceptions to the rule however there are some dogs that just need more than others.

To deny genetics play a part in behaviour is naive. It's not nature OR nurture. It's both.

If you agree with me then share this to slow down the increase of Malinois going to the wrong homes!

🥵 HEAT WARNING ⚠️

It’s super hot today and set to be for the rest of the week!! We have to be extra careful with all breeds of dog, but especially our flat faced friends!

A few reminders for your dogs safety:

⚠️ Do not walk your dog
⚠️ Do not leave your dog in a car
⚠️ Do not transport your dog if they get very stressed in the car
⚠️ Do not leave your dog for long periods out in the sun

✅ Provide your dog with a cool and shaded area
✅ Offer water regularly

✅ Set up a fan
✅ Soak their coat or dip in paddling pool
✅ Offer frozen treats such as frozen yoghurt
✅ Be aware of heat stroke signs
✅ Contact your vet if you are worried
