I have an in-tact male and got him as a baby pup. Trained him. He’s the BEST dog i’ve ever owned. He keeps me active and he’s so intelligent he’s like a buddy and is always on schedule.
my male belgian malinois puppy can get tired easily just by sitting outside for 20 minutes and throwing a ball. and no, belgian malinois are not a threat to young children. they have high protective instincts, they would be on watch 24/7 over the child.
No dogs should be left alone with toddlers. I have seen a 1,5y old girl who was bitten in several places in her arm by a chihuahua, she needed 30 stitches. I have two Malinois but I don’t leave them alone with my 2 and 3y old cousins, not because I don’t trust my Malinois, because I don’t trust toddlers. They can hurt the dogs by accident and you never know how a dog will react.
Okay, soapbox rant alert ahead: lol In general, it is frequently the humans old or young-that cross the boundaries of how to act with any sized canine/animal, but almost always the dogs that end up paying the price for the lack of supervision and/or training of the two by the adults. The questions every parent of any children and dog owners alike need to seriously ask themselves are: First, do you care about your children and/or your animals and want to avoid any costly mistakes and consequences? Of course, right?! Do you and will you seriously devote the time and dedication needed to watch and train both? If yes, then freaking supervise and teach education/training and reminders to both. Be consistent (children and animals alike) with BOTH praise and consequences. Children must learn to be kind emotionally and physically to all animals period or not be allowed contact until they do. Especially if you have young children, give pets frequent breaks from them to reduce irritation. Lastly, DEMAND from both appropriate RESPECT for each other. Yes, accidents and mistakes happen. Any child or adult can fall on a pet or step on a foot or tail that can cause ANY animal to react in a way that is unfortunate, but ADULTS be responsible/no excuses! AND lastly…plz for the love of God! Practice this yourself and teach your kids to FIRST ask permission to interact, and IF an owner says yes, HOW to interact with said animal. Animal owners: plz do not assume that every child or adult wants your animal to interact with them either!
I have one born 12/29/22 He was given to me when he was 4 months old and do not regret it. I have 2 acres of land in Texas. He's always outside loose protecting
Grew up with Schnauzers but got my boy Scooby in college & if anyone seen the movie Marley && Me, we experienced a similar life. Lol now have a home and picking up another pup early September. Best breed ever I don’t think I’ll never not own one throughout my lifetime.
I had a female first, then a male. They had 12 pups. I found homes for 11 and kept 1. I now have 3. Best dogs I've ever owned. They had me trained in no time. They also share their bed with me! The females are easier to train. My male is a hoss, they normally run around 70-80 lbs, he is 111. They say when these dogs are young and healthy, they can run about 35-40 mph, and have a bite of about 400+ lbs. Theyre very emotional as far as separation! For those that havent done the research, NO RAWHIDE, ever for any dog. Mine eat fresh cooked chicken or beef 7 days a week.
Not trying to argue, but Mals do not get to 111 pounds, unless the dog is obese. There must be something else mixed in there. Read the breed standards. My male is 80 pounds, which is also still larger than usual. Males are only supposed to be around 65 pounds. This is one reason soldiers prefer them, as the dog is small enough to be carried, and parachutes easier than a larger dog, such as the GSD. If yours is almost double normal size, there is a reason.
@famouskate9071 he's also almost 11 years old now. He not nor never has been a working dog. He is overweight. But I am sure of his lineage and blood line. He came from his breeder as an 8 week old pup that is involved in schutzhund competition. I would say inactivity is the biggest issue.
I rescued a female Mal five years ago and she’s vocal, hyper, mouthy, bossy and an instigator. I rescued a male Mal a few weeks ago so they can keep each other company and he’s the opposite of her. He rarely barks, doesn’t like to play ball, isn’t mouthy and really laid back. 🤷♂️
I am a Dog Trainer for Service Dogs for the Elderly. I have trained 4 Belgian Maliois, 3 females and a Male. What I found is after the girls are spayed and the males are snipped, they seem to end up with a temperament relatively the same. My unconscious bias has manifested into using Females for this type work. The "Working Line" seems to be more amenable to Service Work than the "Show line". Females can be just as Aggressive and Domineering as the males. The bottom line is simple: give the dog a job and he/she will flourish into a confident super dog. The Malinois requires extensive training and time from the Alpha and would rarely work out as an apartment dog. Remember they are Field dogs. They are bred to be Herding dogs, Soldiers and Cops. These canine athletes are much more intelligent than we assume they are. Recognizing their signals is the key to success. I have had one for 11 years and she loves watching War Movies and Football games. I used the Animal Planet channel to watch lions and tigers to teach her how to hunt in a stealthy way and she did extremely well. The other female I have is just a cyclone of energy and I have to come up with ways to burn that off. She loves to work but not interested in TV learning.
I have an In-tact Male… He’s a wild boy😂 I wouldn’t change him for the world though. Definitely not for everyone, but for me he’s been great. Training training training🙌
Guys, the key of owning such a dog is education. If you don’t educate kids they become little twats, same with dogs. A well trained Malinois is amazing with kids. But no one should leave little kids alone with any dog, always under surveillance.
You couldn't be more wrong, my dog is more trustworthy around my children than 99.999% of humans. She would give her life for her brother's without a nanosecond of hesitation. In fact, she would probably act and react before my brain can even process the danger!! Even the most "vicious" breeds are usually extremely loyal and protective of their family. They are pack animals by nature and understand the fragility of small children! Your comment makes me think that you probably don't even have a dog because you clearly don't know what you are talking about 🤷
@@danielaferraro6353 I have 2 Malinois, they are well trained and amazing with kids but we don’t leave them alone with young kids, not because I don’t trust my dogs, just because I know how little kids can be. They could accidentally hurt the dogs and I don’t think toddlers should be left alone with any dog. I have seen a 1,5 year old girl who’s arm was full of bite wounds from a chihuahua
I kind of feel like you are pigeon holing the male doggies..I feel ever one is a individual and training and patience is key to producing what you want, I found my male malinos in a Walmart dumpster and he's the best dog I've ever had..will hold the couch down all day sometime, smart, never nipped at my youngsters, loving will growl when I move him on the bed turn and lick me. He chases the ground squirrel and good cause they are a nuisance.he ok with the cats but he goes nuts after the mailman..
I had a male malinois named beowulf. He was very large for a malinois( beo was around 105 to 110), but he was the calmest of the 3 I had. Compared to my females, who were aggressive, beowulf was gentle and loved meeting new ppl.
Probably had a little German Shepherd. In Europe, I heard the they mix a pure pred Belgian Mal with German Shepherd every 2 or 3 generations to avoid inbreeding.
@@noah2339 nope, not with German Shepherds, than you no longer can speak of a Belgian Shepherd. When cross-breeded, it is usually done with Belgian Tervuren - Belgian Malinois, because both breeds are closest to each other.
The one I lived with was very smart and clearly on the doggie autistic spectrum. Sweet dog but over focused on things to obsession. High energy. Loved to fetch and wrestle.
I found an older neutered male Mal. at the animal shelter. He was so gentle, great on road trips, and he gave me no trouble. The one thing he did, in my defense was to stop a pushy drunk man from walking into our home late one Saturday afternoon. That fool came back with a sheriff"s deputy, when that deputy asked me what happened, then I explained, the deputy told me thank you and took the drunk to the holding cell to sober up. The following Monday, the deputy came back, asked me about my dog, so I got out the leash, we went into the back yard, and I showed him some of what my boy could do. The deputy assured me that my dog and I aren't in trouble with the law; but the drunk who was drunk and disorderly got county jail time. I miss my sweet dog, he was such a best boy.I look forward to meeting him again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Everything on this list fits both Males and Females. I foster for a Malinois (Pronounced Mal-in-Wa) rescue and have had many dogs come through my door who had bad breeding, bad socialization, no training, ect. Interestingly though, they are very adaptable and with the right training and structure can bounce back from their start in life. There is no magic button with them though, you need to be consistently consistent with your consistency when it comes to them. I absolutely love the breed and helping them blossom into the right dog for the right home, but they aren't for everyone so research research research, and be honest with yourself on your lifestyle. To keep it real, I have had Mals in my life for almost 20 years, but my current 2 dogs (14 yrs old, 6 yrs old) will probably be my last Mals. I don't have the super active lifestyle I had or my own energy levels to keep up, while I love the breed I will probably go with herding breed that is a bit lower in the energy level.
Yes, the main factor is ageing, which must be factored. 1-3 years implusive; 3-6 years the mind and thinking pops, has more free house stuff; past 6 on senior diet and full house freedom except in wire bedroom crate so that he won't be stepped on if we get up in the night. The main aspect is that these, like all dogs, MUST be around their handler and want to be near handler 24/7. That right there is hard on most that don't have a K9 sense; these love to lick their handler as that's important to them for whatever reason; These are sharp when injured so handler will catch a nice nip when sorting out an injury so I keep soft muzzle nearby. I do not correct on nips, play or injury. Bottom line, these are sweet dogs mixed with some stubborn attitude focused upon whatever, very smart yet often silly dumb. :)
To all the people commenting on the pronunciation… like do you not understand this isnt a human speaking but rather AI??? And because its not an english word its mispronouncing it??? So commenting on it is super pointless…. Like come on people… 🙄
Here’s a Thought…….Don’t get a Mali if 1- you have never had a dog 2- if you are insecure 3, if your time poor 4, If you haven’t a clue on training 5, Don’t socialise with children at all ages …..and get the kids to respect the dog 6, Always , Always have a Cat in the home first and manage the introduction to the pup , not a full grown dog that’s just plain silly …..7 I don’t know everything …I know somethings ….But Key to Everything is Training , Exercise, Rest , consistency and Patience….lots of Patience….oh and of course one day prepare for your heart to be broken ……don’t sit looking at that empty cage hopefully that Mali did a good job training you for the next one.❤
I don't want to say all this is true but it is very accurate information atleast in my experience as she said though with the right training and socialization they do make amazing dogs but it is more work than most people can imagine even for experienced dog owners they are more work than any other breed ive owned but I had a good understanding of this and now love the breed definitely wouldn't recommend to a novice dog owner or someone who expects an average dog to play and train with
I got what I thought was a German shepherd puppy turns out she is a malinois x German shepherd more mal then Shepard she is extremely intelligent and when she gets a idea she just does it and has to be corrected immediately very high energy 4 am wake up time with breakfast and then outside for zoomies AT 4am…. I also have a cane corso she actually does run circles around him he just sits and waits for her to stop being annoying he like the rest of us are still half asleep my poor boy 😂 I love them both….. both are good with my kids my mal x is so good never had to correct her with the kids now my cane corso had some resource guarding issues with my older 2 kids as a 8 week old puppy and I worked with him to correct that and he has been great ever sense but that would be something that would scare alot of people and definitely takes a solid confident owner for either breed one could run across America and the other will have you in the kennel if you don’t stay on top of training
That’s so crazy I also thought I was getting a German shepherd and ended up being Mali and gs and I also have a mixed breed Cordova and my Mali also wakes up at about 5 am…. What a coincidence
Do you want to see mine?? how many have you had ONE?? smart one. Mine is an excellent protection dog but is happy to sit around the house like any other dog.
this is BS.. females and males are relatively the same personality. All the traits they say about male Malinois are traits of the breed. The best dogs ever!! .
Do you want to see mine?? how many have you had ONE?? smart one. Mine is an excellent protection dog but is happy to sit around the house like any other dog. ALSO, females can be MORE active than males where did you get this inaccurate info??
Before you start telling people about a dog breed you should at least show respect by learning how to pronounce their name or you come across as a fool , , It is pronounced "MAL-IN-WAH"
please stop calling this breed a Belgian Malinoi ... it is pronounced correctly "ma-li-nwa" and its true name is Belgian Shepherd. just like Lamborkini it is "lam-bor-jini" you don't make it right by having everyone to pronounce it wrong. most of your content is correct, but difference between male and female is all not so big as referred to by you in the vid. there is a difference between high-drive personality and lower-drive personality, reason why it is always advisable to get your Belgian Shepherd from a breeder who knows what he is doing with these dogs. this is not a show-dog to get into your house just to show off to your friends. they ask for an intelligent and consistent owner which will guide them in every step of their educaction. these dogs are excellent companions and literally walk through fire to rescue their owner, if educated and treated correctly, like every other dog by the way !
One of the languages of Belgium is French. "Malinois" isn't pronounced like "Illinois". It's pronounced mal-uhn-waa. Please google "malinois pronunciation", which you should have done before mispronouncing it throughout this video on the Belgian Malinois.
Definitely not for the average dog owner!! Do yourself a big FAVOR and do the research on this breed. I wouldn't recommend this breed unless you are an experienced dog handler and have plenty of time to dedicate to him. This isn't a dog that you can close the back yard gate and leave him alone. Mine is always with me 24-7 if I'm in the yard he is out with me. If I'm in the house he is inside If I have to go somewhere where I can't take him he is in his Kennel. NEVER NEVER left unattended. I PERSONALLY DONOT RECOMMEND THIS BREED AS A HOUSE PET. THEY ARE POLICE AND MILITARY DOGS!!!!!
Hang on a minute …..I have just told my boy he’s not a house pet ……..currently asleep by the side of me on the settee…..on his back legs up in the air - and he’s not convinced.
100% BS male or female are all individuals so different personalities in males and females but apart from that these rules apply for both sexes it implies females somewhat easier and its simply BS they are all hard work
Some days I am glad I am deaf so I didn't have to listen to the miss pronunciation of the name. So I shouldn't own a male. I am enjoying life with my second one. I am 70 years old. They keep me Young and active. You don't have a clue what the Hell you are talking about.
1 reason to not listen to this dumb video. It doesn't matter, both sides can be insane or the best dog you've ever owned. It's all down to training and educating your dog. Own a male malinois and he couldn't be more of a teddy bear.

Here’s a Thought…….Don’t get a Mali if 1- you have never had a dog 2- if you are insecure 3, if your time poor 4, If you haven’t a clue on training 5, Don’t socialise with children at all ages …..and get the kids to respect the dog 6, Always , Always have a Cat in the home first and manage the introduction to the pup , not a full grown dog that’s just plain silly …..7 I don’t know everything …I know somethings ….But Key to Everything is Training , Exercise, Rest , consistency and Patience….lots of Patience….oh and of course one day prepare for your heart to be broken ……don’t sit looking at that empty cage hopefully that Mali did a good job training you for the next one.❤
4:06 That look. He just did something and he's got NO shame!
I don't want to say all this is true but it is very accurate information atleast in my experience as she said though with the right training and socialization they do make amazing dogs but it is more work than most people can imagine even for experienced dog owners they are more work than any other breed ive owned but I had a good understanding of this and now love the breed definitely wouldn't recommend to a novice dog owner or someone who expects an average dog to play and train with
Mal in wa !
OP pronounced Malinois correct. French; Same as Illinois. Not Ill in wa. But I never correct and most just label them as Gnaw. :)
Malinois is really pronounced Malinwa. Not like Illinois. I’m a bilingual Belgian so I actually know how to pronounce it correctly 😅
Stimulating their mind is just as important as physical exercise.
This video made me want to buy a Malinois even more.⭐👍🏻⭐👍🏻⭐👍🏻⭐
I've got a all black male and a female Mali light body black mask I've had no problems with any of them but I do run them twice daily
Beautiful dog. Unfortunately, I don’t have the energy for one.
So if I am a lazy fuck who just sleeps and plays video games when not at work, don’t get one?
defo don't get one they're mental if you aren't insanely active
I actually have Belgian Malinos She's a female. We love her a lot except for my mom doesn't really care for Zoe.
I have a female and the females are complicated im doing all the training myself snd sometimes i wanna give up not for the weak
Its all in the training
I have a male Mal.. love him, young kids and wife love him also. But, somehow, some way, at some time... they will accidentally hurt you
You don't get to tell me anything about a dog when you can't pronounce the name.
I always take advice from people who can’t even pronounce the name of the dog breed 🤣
It's pronounced ma lin wa .
I got what I thought was a German shepherd puppy turns out she is a malinois x German shepherd more mal then Shepard she is extremely intelligent and when she gets a idea she just does it and has to be corrected immediately very high energy 4 am wake up time with breakfast and then outside for zoomies AT 4am…. I also have a cane corso she actually does run circles around him he just sits and waits for her to stop being annoying he like the rest of us are still half asleep my poor boy 😂 I love them both….. both are good with my kids my mal x is so good never had to correct her with the kids now my cane corso had some resource guarding issues with my older 2 kids as a 8 week old puppy and I worked with him to correct that and he has been great ever sense but that would be something that would scare alot of people and definitely takes a solid confident owner for either breed one could run across America and the other will have you in the kennel if you don’t stay on top of training
That’s so crazy I also thought I was getting a German shepherd and ended up being Mali and gs and I also have a mixed breed Cordova and my Mali also wakes up at about 5 am…. What a coincidence
i love malinois
Wrong you should get one its the best protective dog 👍👍
These dogs are wound up. I use a ball flinger and play ball until he doesn't bring it back LOL. He loves to run. Evenings too.
Really the selection of a good breeder & proper training are way more important than the sex
My LunaBella is a good girl overall. She demands her daily exercise, though. She loves to be chased🤭
I'm not going to give much merit to someone's take on a breed if they can't even pronounce the name of the breed correctly.
These dogs are the best in the world you dont know what you talk about
PLEASE PRONOUNCE THE BREED’s NAME CORRECTLY!!!
Do you want to see mine?? how many have you had ONE?? smart one. Mine is an excellent protection dog but is happy to sit around the house like any other dog.
There are experienced dog trainers sharing content on RUclips, why would you watch a trash video like that with AI voice on top of some images
Male Belgian Malinois: Did you just assumed my gender?
Yeah, both have tons of energy, I prefere a male
I will only EVER own Males, bigger, better looking, easier to train.
Should we take advice from a person who can't pronounce the dogs breed name
this is BS.. females and males are relatively the same personality.
All the traits they say about male Malinois are traits of the breed.
The best dogs ever!!
.
I can do that....
Its hard for AI to pronounce some words. Im fairly sure this is AI.
Do you want to see mine?? how many have you had ONE?? smart one. Mine is an excellent protection dog but is happy to sit around the house like any other dog. ALSO, females can be MORE active than males where did you get this inaccurate info??
Im going to buy a shepherd instead, just so i dont have to tell rveryone hes a malinwa
Mal in noy?
Before you start telling people about a dog breed you should at least show respect by learning how to pronounce their name or you come across as a fool ,
, It is pronounced "MAL-IN-WAH"
It’s pronounced Malin-wah!
please stop calling this breed a Belgian Malinoi ... it is pronounced correctly "ma-li-nwa" and its true name is Belgian Shepherd.
just like Lamborkini it is "lam-bor-jini"
you don't make it right by having everyone to pronounce it wrong.
most of your content is correct, but difference between male and female is all not so big as referred to by you in the vid.
there is a difference between high-drive personality and lower-drive personality, reason why it is always advisable to get your Belgian Shepherd from a breeder who knows what he is doing with these dogs. this is not a show-dog to get into your house just to show off to your friends. they ask for an intelligent and consistent owner which will guide them in every step of their educaction. these dogs are excellent companions and literally walk through fire to rescue their owner, if educated and treated correctly, like every other dog by the way !
This is not a dog for beginners everybody knows that😊
This dog is a pain in the S. Seriously. I love them though
Booooooo. To each their own. I'm high energy and my dog is a perfect match.
You cannot even pronounce the name of the dog. Nice click bait.
Belgium melonwhy Melonwee melonwuh melatonin melon melonee Griffith. I think she got em all.
This is based on opinions at this point and no experience what so ever
In most cases a male is double the work. Imo
malinois not malinoi --> spelling is "mal in wah"
One of the languages of Belgium is French. "Malinois" isn't pronounced like "Illinois". It's pronounced mal-uhn-waa. Please google "malinois pronunciation", which you should have done before mispronouncing it throughout this video on the Belgian Malinois.
I think the voice may be AI and as the script is in English it pronounces as it would be pronounced in English and not French.
AI
I wish ppl would stop dissing my dog. Get a life.
Mal-lin-wa
Definitely not for the average dog owner!! Do yourself a big FAVOR and do the research on this breed. I wouldn't recommend this breed unless you are an experienced dog handler and have plenty of time to dedicate to him. This isn't a dog that you can close the back yard gate and leave him alone. Mine is always with me 24-7 if I'm in the yard he is out with me. If I'm in the house he is inside
If I have to go somewhere where I can't take him he is in his Kennel. NEVER NEVER left unattended. I PERSONALLY DONOT RECOMMEND THIS BREED AS A HOUSE PET.
THEY ARE POLICE AND MILITARY DOGS!!!!!
Hang on a minute …..I have just told my boy he’s not a house pet ……..currently asleep by the side of me on the settee…..on his back legs up in the air - and he’s not convinced.
it’s spelled Malinois but pronounced MALINUOA!!!
Belgium Malinois...who ever is running this pod cast here...they r pronouncing it wrong!
100% BS male or female are all individuals so different personalities in males and females but apart from that these rules apply for both sexes it implies females somewhat easier and its simply BS they are all hard work
Great dog. Still good, fespite dog shows. Also,
The Dogs of Our Ancestors
On eBay
Excellent dogs, no dog shows.
“Wah”. Belgian “Malin-wah”.
Belgian Mah-Illinois 🤦♂️.
The pronounce is malinu-waaa!
Some days I am glad I am deaf so I didn't have to listen to the miss pronunciation of the name. So I shouldn't own a male. I am enjoying life with my second one. I am 70 years old. They keep me Young and active. You don't have a clue what the Hell you are talking about.
You're pronouncing it wrong.
1 reason to not listen to this dumb video.
It doesn't matter, both sides can be insane or the best dog you've ever owned. It's all down to training and educating your dog.
Own a male malinois and he couldn't be more of a teddy bear.
