It truly hurts my heart when I think of all the dogs that are bored out of their mind and not cared for adequately, then become destructive or agressive as a result of this boredom, and who are then abandoned or euthanized... Malinois, Huskys, Ridgebacks, Pit Bulls, Cane Corsos, Presas, wolfdogs, Malamutes, Border Collies ... The list goes on and on.

These dogs are one of the only breeds left that heve not been messed around with, purely because they were only bred for working. But I have noticed over the years they are getting more popular, And are now being left at dog rescue centre's, because amateur breeders are breeding them, And selling them to people for pets. They are not indoor pets , They need something to do. Think twice and do your research, if your prepared to put the work in , you will have the cleverest most loyal friend you can imagine, these dogs will protect you with there lives, they are fantastic.

I had an amazing MAL 7 years ago. He was unbelievable and I loved him dearly. I was constantly training and working with him as my job and still, I was not even able to tire him completly. I am very fit, super active, sportive and extremely disciplined person. People always asked me how it was to own a Malinois and till this day, my answer is ALWAYS the same one: -''It was a full time job '', people would laugh at my answer, and I would look at them directly saying: -'' Yeah ... not a joke my friend. MY dog is my full time job, FOR REAL''. I would then, explain the work and stimulation that he needs EVERYDAY. 5 years after my Mal passed away, I was on the search to adopt an other Malinois. I went to visit many amazing breeders in different states for over a year and a half. Slowly, I came to realized that my lifestyle has changed and my work was different. I was not sure I would be able to keep up with this breed for an other 15 years. I am still hyper active, Uber disciplined but i dont have the time anymore to have a working dog sharing my life, plus i know too much. I know what they need and how you have to stimulate them. I am now, the happy owner of a perfect dog to fit my present needs. He is something else let me tell you, and I dont even have to mentioned how perfectly mannered he is in every situation. He is umbelivable. I get comments on his behaviours on the daily. Lets just say that, even though he is from a otherkind of breed, he has been trained the MALNOIS way, and he is tired for sure at the end of the day. He is probably the dog in the best shape of our neighbourhood lol There is not ONE week since i adopted him that is passing without me thinking: -''Man it would of been a big mistake for me to adopt a Malinois now''. PLEASE, trust me people: you dont want a Malinois. And you certainly dont want a Malinois as a pet. They are more than what you think you can handle. This is coming from someone who actually shared her life with one.

Even at 10, he's still very diligent and driven, and would run right over anyone not ready for him.

Agreed about the ridiculous deformed breeds because of the dog show world. I think we're finally making an impact however as this lady highlighted the issue with the deliberately deformed German Sheperds caused by idiotic dog show breeders. What they've done to the flat faced or short legged dogs is criminal based on their warped view of extremity in unique features. There's no need to keep making dogs that can't run with stubby legs or flat faced dogs that can't breathe or German Sheperds who's rear legs collapse under them with hip problems and as far as the English Bulldog Mother Nature has already recognized the devastation caused to that breed and made it impossible for them to reproduce without artificial means. We need to bring an end to this nonsense called breed standards by dog show freaks. Time to favor and promote properly functioning healthy breeds and of course mixed breeds and mutts as healthy alternatives to pure breeds in general based on a wider gene pool as well as the availability of healthy mixed breeds in shelters. I think there is room for pure breeds as well as mixed ones if we can just weed out the irresponsible breeders and their customers.

He is amazing, he didn't make the grade for being too edgy but he's a diamond for us, super smart, super athletic and obedient. These are serious dogs and you have to know what you are doing with this breed, think German sheperd, amplified times 100, you have to be a strong person and prepared to be the alpha!. Wouldn't be without our boy! We will never be robbed 😂

[@kennethdefreitas3120]

I’ve always been an avid dog lover and had the pleasure of being around many breads but these dogs are Truly super dogs

[@breshannondevereaux7725]

SO FOCUSED! NOTHING could break that dog's concentration! Great training! Great dogs! Well done!

[@solayluna]

Love my Malagator we keep each other fit...they are so intense on getting a ball etc that they can hurt themselves ,tug games are his fave but we spend alot of time in search games loves the brain work! Having said that they're not for the average owner you need to spend the time training from the get-go and you will have one of the best dogs in the world...

[@reneetuzun6089]

Wow!! Call them Super Athletes as well of the dog world. Truly Amazing but really need to be with very experienced dog owners. Thank you Anneka for a great video.💚

[@gordonfreeman8368]

Wow another amazing episode, thank you very much 💓

I had a Mali that I lost about 2 years ago, I still missed her and loved her dearly 😢 She was actually raised by my Jack Russell/Beagle mix (talk about a handful 😂) he actually gave her a run for her money every day! But when he developed cancer and got to where he wouldn't play with her he actually let her know it was time to stop playing. But she protected me when I had gotten pneumonia and I couldn't even get out of bed, she just stayed beside me and kept me warm

[@johnhenrymcmahon6878]

So amazing to see these dogs in action! Staggering.

[@jingqi9106]

Brilliant! I love working with and training dogs so I can see how these dogs are super in need of constant attention, exercise, and training. For most families it would seem these gorgeous dogs might be too much of a challenge.

[@mapex1976]

Very informative, thanks again!

[@NGHTNGLHS88]

Met a chilled out puppy, lazy one of the litter... jangled my keys and this lady just sat back whilst the fight with 5 otherd to get to me.... They were beautiful and their manding was 👌 That's was 6yrs ago, and she herds the grandkids perfectly ❤ Beautiful breed but visiting appropriate breeders based on temperament of the household who would love to add one in the family or as a companion. ❤

Got one and he is 7,5 years old.. first 4 years we spend 5148 hours of training and working... today he is retired, and my one and only love, and familydog! If you want 100% loyalty... go get one! But do the work or they will destroy you...🐕🤙

My sister's a CSI. She hangs out around the K9 cops a lot and she's always sending pics of her petting their Malinois. They're great dogs, according to her. They even let her put on the suit and let one take her down. She said it was TERRIFYING!

Animal Watch you're an inspiration. If it wasn't for this channel I doubt that I would be waiting for an Animal Care Course in Leeds due for September 2020 providing lockdown is fully lifted. Thanks for the inspiration as it's more than some part-time pursuit it's a profession to look after,feed and rescue to handling animals. Also a massive Thankyou to The Veterinarian Profession for working during the lockdown period. We clapped for you last night alongside human doctors.

[@Animal-Watch]

Wow thankyou! 🙇‍♀️

[@Mimi-74]

I get so choked up and emotional when I watch this breed train, in the movies, or showing off their skills. They are courageous and tenacious. They have the capability to be real life heros. I am grateful, once again, that Animal Watch breaks down the breed and their personality and needs. Not just anybody should own a dog like this. Their mental health depends on them having the active, stimulating, well rounded life that their breed thrives on. This is a beautiful and majestic dog, both lines. They fly up a wall with such grace. They jump and soar through the air. This is truly a fascinating creature. Wonderful episode Animal Watch. Great job on another educational and entertaining show. ~❣️

[@Animal-Watch]

Thankyou so much for that wonderful feedback!

First time I ever heard of a Malinois was on the TV show Person of Interest with Jim Cavesiel, Sarah Shahi, and Taraji P Henson, where an AI computer spit out the number of someone who was in trouble and needed help.....the dog's name was Bear.

[@wimve4719]

My friend and landlord had one and we kicked it off so good that it still tears me up remembering it. Never seen such a fierce hunter but the best family man ever after .... Miss this guy!

I'm wondering if they smell wolf on her and give her instant respect.

She usually meets them before filming. Ive seen her meeting dogs actually for the first time and she greets them properly. Standing with her side to dog and petting under the chin first.

[@trollibolli1235]

Belgian Malinois and german shepherd dogs are both amazing breeds! The Malinois have more drive and is more agil and faster. Thats the reason malis are used more in military and police nowadays than the GSD. On the other side the GSD have much more bite force is bigger stronger and have more intimidation factor what makes the GSD a better watch and protection Dog. Annyway a cross beetwen both makes an absolut fantastic dog!

[@bradcallahan3546]

lol apparently you haven’t been around many of these dogs. GSD are way less intimidating.

[@SuperMrFriendly]

@@bradcallahan3546 once they get going or if you know the breed. in normal state malis look allot less intimidating.

[@5150GSD]

trollibolli123 Your a little off on your statement. Just FYI there is a Belgian/GSD Cross, its call a Dutch Shepherd.

My nephew owns a Malinois - got it as a two months old puppy. The dog is glued to its master. Personally, I perceive it as tiresome, but that attachment and focus is impressive. For a long while, though, I constantly suspected my nephew was starving the poor dog. Even if I consciously know it's the way the dog is, I constantly feel the need to feed her, when my nephew visits.

Do not get one. They need 2 hours of drill training to exhaust them to be somewhat calm. They are like on coke. Days I don't train mine he drives me insane. They are also smart and will destroy things on purpose if not given enough attention.
