Belgian Malinois vs Border Collie

[@cedricjallorina7671]

Who’s the scariest? Collie: Barking normally Malinois: Im gonna end this potat’s whole career

[@djbaccbacc7699]

I am also the proud owner of a male Belgian Malinois and male Border Collie. They are best friends and do everything together. Being the owner of both of these dogs, I can honestly say it would be very tough to pick which dog is actually “best”. They are both so amazing, and capable of doing anything another dog can do with the right amount of training. With my two, if i had to compare: speed - Malinois. Overall obedience - Collie. Intelligence/trainability - tie. Being a scary watchdog - Malinois has the edge. Patience and focus - Collie. Drive and being active - Malinois by far. Loyalty and being protective - tie. I am sure this wouldn’t be the same with every Malinois/Collie though, it would depend on their training.

I have a Mal as a service dog. He is so smart. Knows the names for all of his toys. Knows to always sit at my feet while I am eating. Always ready to do anything from go outside to play or go out into public. Best part is he's learned that when his vest is on him it's work time, no play.

[@bordercollie1140]

The collie in this clip is over weight and older than the malinois. My working collie wins every part of this contest except the aggression which I don't want in a dog, I can protect myself. Also if they had put in loyalty, the border smashes it. Best breed, none others come close in my opinion.

This video is inaccurate. A border collie is way faster than a Malinois. This border collie is older and overweight. It's easy just go look up agility and you can see that the Malinois is easily outrun by the border collie. Malinois are fast but Border Collies truly are the speed demons and they have an adaptation in their joints that can allow them to crouch low and make tight turns

Very interesting, thanks. I´d like to get one of these breeds, but I have "a problem": I work at home, and whenever I´m working I HAVE TO be focused on what I´m doing, which means I can´t have a dog demanding attention every 5 minutes. Which one would be more likely to rest peacefully by side without being overly distracting? Are both terrible? :D Thanks!

[@hellemeersenhof2473]

depending on how you raise them :) I have 2 BM now and 1 BC. one (Saar, the one from the clip) BM is a constant distraction while the other (Usha) knows she needs to be calm indoors. Saar was adopted when she was 3 so we missed a lot of her socialisation, Usha we had sinds puppyhood and we trained her immediatly that she needs to be calm indoors. The BC is chill indoors, but he wasnt like that till he was 5, before then he was cray cray :p But if you want to work 8 hours non stop and not pay attention to your dog neither of the breeds would be a match

[@oliviaonafrychuk]

To all those saying that BCs are the world’s smartest dog... they are, but only when bred for working ability aka herding sheep. In general, the Malinois have not been so dumbed down by showlines/sports lines that I would have to say they are the superior breed in general. The majority of Mals are more authentic and true to their breed than the majority of BCs are. But let’s be honest; a top-notch working BC is probably much more clever and keen than a top-notch working Mal. I love both breeds though.

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

Totally agree Olivia. I have always had working line C's and my latest is out of a World Champion Line so very smart However I have been looking into Malinois and Dutch Shepherds .

If it wasn’t for the music I would say this is a great video…but hey, I was distracted. Apart from the dreadful sound I think they’re both great breeds. Agility of a dog could be subjective. Dogs have genetic traits that follow even just 1/2 generations. That means that if the parents were great runners, great herding dogs, likely they will be too. On the contrary if the dog is coming from a generation of apartment living breed, unlikely will excel in these traits. If anyone have the chance I would recommend watching live the BC herding competitions. Outstanding!

Also bc are bred to charge at bulls without showing any fear.

Have a great day :3

[@Alex-mc5yn]

Hannes Herrey you don't think a Mal would win against an attacker with a knife? This breed is used in Police, SWAT and military as attack dogs.
