About the Belgian Malinois
The Belgian Malinois is a large dog breed originating in Belgium. Adult dogs typically weigh 40 to 80 pounds and live 12 to 14 years. The breed is described as intense, work-driven, highly-intelligent, protective.
Highly experienced working-dog owners who provide daily structured exercise, training, and a real job. A serious working breed. First-time owners, sedentary homes, or anyone wanting a casual pet — an under-worked Malinois becomes destructive and reactive.
Adult Belgian Malinoiss need about 90 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 120 minutes. The coat is short-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
