Looking for precision in obedience and laser focus in protection? Want to walk through your neighborhood and feel like your driving a super car? If you said yes to those questions than Vader might just be the dog for you! He is a larger dog and will need a bit of space due to his size. He is social with other dogs and well suited for a family with older children as he is a big boy. This is a dog that our company uses for demos to show what a protection dog should look like. So if you are in the market for an exceptional male malinois you have found him.
Originally developed in Malines, Belgium, Malinois have a great deal of stamina and truly enjoy working. They are intelligent and very active dogs that excel at many tasks. In addition to herding, they also do well with police work, search and rescue, and in performance events, such as agility.
People who are not familiar with the Malinois often confuse him with the German Shepherd Dog (GSD), but there are significant differences in the body structure and temperament of the two breeds. Malinois are smaller dogs with lighter bones. They stand with their weight well on their toes, which gives them a square body profile, while today's GSD has a long, sloping back and carries his weight flatter on his feet.
