Belgian Malinois: The Pros & Cons Of Owning One

[@jdaniels1313]

Good video, accurate overall. Malinois are not good around young children (toddlers) but can be great with ages 7 and up with adult supervision. Our female Malinois LOVES pool-swimming-fetch sessions. Malinois have webbed toes and are good swimmers. I tossed her in the pool at 3 months just to see what she would do. She'd never been in water before, but instantly started doggie paddled around expertly like she was born to be a swimmer. She also LOVES tug-of-war with toys. Her on-land fetch is a little erratic because she wants to turn it into a game of keep-away when she brings the ball back. In the water, she will fetch reliably. In fact, she'll turn down a treat because she'd rather go do another length-of-the-pool-and-back fetch.
