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!

If you go a gsd get a PET line one from an ankc Recognised breeder And check the hip scores all so pilbarapythons a Belgium Malinoisin in no way makes a good family pet your correct in saying the military and raaf use them but there are ONLY four qualified malis working as police dogs....
 
Rexy please enlighten me why this breed is not suited as a family dog? We have 2 Malinois and have never had them trained professionally, yet they are loyal, extremely smart, highly alert and affectionate so I don't see any real problems unless they weren't given enough bonding time with their owner. They read body language and facial expressions really well. The older bitch never wanders no matter where I go new except she will do a close area patrol and check out every person close to my presence every couple of minutes. Very interesting breed. The male is only 16 weeks old so can't comment too much on him yet.
