A Belgian Malinois is NOT a good suggestion for a first time dog owner O.O
I agree. I know someone who has not been able to train hers properly and it is a real handful. Does not listen to her at all and jumps up on kids, has injured my son by jumping on him - not agressively, just playing. Can easily get away from her as is so strong. She really needs to work on her assertiveness and voice control skills or he will get in serious trouble soon.
In the right hands he would be a lovely dog.
Personally I love my labradoodle - he is very intelligent, wants to please all the time, very easy to train, wants to be with either my hubby or I all the time, but a very high energy dog. Is walked/ run up a mountain for 45 mins every morning and still up for a big playtime in the afternoon even though he is now 4.
The training and socialisation (and continued training for life) whichever breed you decide on is really what counts.
Neo (my dog) clipped off - has a really shaggy coat, but too hot in summer!
