Almost every day, I open Facebook and see Belgian Malinois, along with many other dogs, being rehomed. Some of these dogs are barely six months old. The reasons are often things like "I got a new job," "I'm moving," or other life changes that, frankly, should have been considered before bringing home a dog.

If getting a new job or moving would cause you to rehome your dog, please remove yourself from our waitlist. I'll even refund your deposit. I'm serious.

When I was in my twenties, life was anything but stable. I was a full-time college student, worked multiple jobs including nights, moved across the state, moved in and out of family homes, and at one point lived in an RV on the beach. Through all of it, I kept my dogs. Not one dog. Five large dogs.

Life changes. Jobs change. Housing changes. Circumstances change. That's part of being an adult. When you take on a dog, especially a Belgian Malinois, you are making a commitment that should be planned around those changes, not abandoned because of them.

These dogs are not temporary companions for a convenient season of life. They are living beings that depend on us completely. They deserve owners who view them as a lifelong responsibility, not something to be rehomed when life becomes inconvenient.

One of the qualities we look for most in potential puppy buyers is commitment. Not commitment when everything is easy, but commitment when life gets difficult.

Of course, genuine emergencies do happen. Sometimes circumstances arise that are truly beyond a person's control. That is why every puppy we produce comes with a lifetime commitment from us. We will always take back a dog we have bred. First right of refusal is written into our contract, and we will always help our owners if they find themselves in a situation where they can no longer keep their dog.

But our goal is for our puppies to find their forever homes the first time.

I also find myself wondering: where are the breeders behind the hundreds of Malinois being rehomed? Taking responsibility for the dogs you produce is one of the fundamental obligations of ethical breeding. If a breeder is unwilling to take back a dog they brought into the world, they have abandoned their responsibility to that dog.

A breeder's commitment should last for the lifetime of every puppy they produce. Ours does.

I recently saw a breeder asking whether a dog should be removed from a breeding program because it killed a rabbit and a chicken.

Y'all. Dogs are predators.

I fully expect any of our dogs to want to chase and potentially kill small animals. Rabbits, chickens, squirrels, cats, and other prey species naturally trigger predatory behavior.

That doesn't automatically make a dog unstable, aggressive, or unsuitable for breeding.

Our responsibility as owners is training and management. We teach impulse control, recalls, and appropriate behavior, and we manage environments to protect beloved pets and livestock.

Understanding what is normal canine behavior is important. A dog displaying predatory behavior toward prey animals is very different from a dog displaying inappropriate aggression toward people or other dogs.

Dogs are dogs. They have teeth, instincts, and drives. Good training and responsible management are what allow them to live successfully in our modern world.

By the Nine, what a feast! The Skyrim pups have vanquished their first bowl and are now napping in Whiterun... or at least the whelping box. Soon they'll be Well Rested.
