🐾 Breed Spotlight: Belgian Malinois

A little history: The Belgian Malinois was developed in Belgium as one of four Belgian shepherd varieties, bred for herding, protection, and police work. Today they're one of the most widely used working dogs in military and law enforcement worldwide.

Size + appearance:
• Medium to large, lean and athletic build
• Short fawn or mahogany coat with a black mask
• Always "on" — they rarely look fully relaxed

Temperament:
Typically intense, loyal, and highly bonded to their handler. Mals are not dogs that "turn off" — they need a purpose and thrive with experienced owners who can channel their drive.

Behavior + training notes:
• Extremely high drive — needs 2+ hours of physical and mental work daily
• Bite inhibition and impulse control must be trained early and consistently
• Can become destructive, reactive, or anxious without structure and purpose
• One of the most capable and trainable breeds when given the right guidance

Common health issues to watch for:
• Hip and elbow dysplasia
• Progressive retinal atrophy
• Epilepsy in some lines
• Thyroid issues

Mal owners: what's your dog's "job" at home? 💪
