Grooming
Belgian Malinois do not shed very much, but brushing or combing their coat daily will help keep their shedding to a minimum.
Origins
As sheep herders, Belgian Malinois are built not only to be tough and energetic, but also intelligent. They weren’t only shepherding dogs, but also all-around farm dogs.
Belgian Malinois started to be used in field trials due to the declining number of sheep in Belgium. The breed acquitted itself well in these competitions, with a Belgian Malinois winning the very first one.
World War I and II saw the Belgian Malinois being used as a military service dog, where its intelligence and diligence would make it an excellent watchdog and messenger.
The Belgian Malinois continues to be used in police forces and militaries around the world.
Yes, Belgian Malinois puppies are affectionate and gentle with their humans. An adult Belgian Malinois can be a good family dog if they’re properly trained and socialised.

Suitable Environment
The Belgian Malinois is a very adaptable dog, but it needs a good bit of space due to its high energy. Belgian Malinois puppies mature quickly. They will do well in larger homes.
A backyard or outdoor space is essential for the Belgian Malinois as this breed will need to be able to run off-leash and expend energy.
Other Considerations
● A Belgian Malinois may tend to try to herd children by nipping at their heels, a behaviour that should be trained out of the dog at an early age.
● Belgian Malinois for sale that come from working lines may command a higher price than those meant to be housepets.
● Most Belgian Malinois have an anaesthesia sensitivity, and their veterinarian should be aware of this.
How can I take good care of my Belgian Malinois?
Nutrition
Belgian Malinois puppies should be fed high-quality dog food. While the Belgian Malinois is not more or less food oriented than other breeds, they may gorge themselves on treats during training. Clean water should be made available at all times.
The Belgian Malinois does not tend to get overweight, but it is still a good idea to monitor your Belgian Malinois puppy’s weight gain. Consult with your vet about your dog’s diet if necessary.
Grooming
Belgian Malinois grooming tend to be easy, as their coat does not grow long and they shed a moderate amount. Brushing a couple of times a week is sufficient.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Belgian Malinois shed more heavily twice a year, in which case daily brushing is recommended.
It is not necessary to bathe a Belgian Malinois very often, as they do not tend to get very dirty.
It’s advisable to do a daily toothbrushing session with a dog-specific toothpaste.
Exercise
A Belgian Malinois should get around an hour to an hour and a half of exercise each day. They may need more exercise time as they grow older and more athletic. Belgian Malinois can be taught to participate in dog sports such as agility and obedience.
Training
Belgian Malinois are hard workers and enjoy having tasks to do. An under-stimulated Belgian Malinois may develop problematic behaviours.
Training your dog is a lifelong pursuit, and should be done regularly. Obedience training takes priority, and most Belgian Malinois puppies can begin to be taught once they are brought home at 8 weeks old.
If you are intending for your Belgian Malinois to perform a specific role, you may choose to enrol your Belgian Malinois puppy in a training class. It is recommended that you make sure the training methods being used are based on positive reinforcement.
This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.
The Belgian Malinois is no more or less aggressive than other dog breeds, and can be very affectionate and gentle as a housepet. They may be trained to be aggressive towards intruders if they are intended to be guard dogs.
