History – The Belgian Malinois is one of the varieties of the Belgian shepherd. The Belgian Shepherd had for centuries been bred for working ability with little consideration given to form, in 1891 Professor Reul found the type to vary greatly in appearance and he began the process of standardising them into distinct varieties. In 1956 the breed standard was adopted and it specified the four varieties known today; the Groenendael, Laekenois, Malinois and Tervuren.

Personality and Appearances – The Belgian Shepherd is a medium-sized athletic breed. The breed has a long, slender head with triangular, erect ears that are rounded at the base, and a long, narrow but balanced muzzle. The breed's body is muscular but not overly heavy. The four varieties vary principally in their coat types and colours, the breed standard describes three coat varieties; long-haired, short-haired and rough-haired.

Belgian Shepherds are known to be highly intelligent, alert and sensitive; they are typically highly trainable, vigilant and hard-working with a strong guarding instinct making them protective of property and family, and very well suited for service with security services. They're affectionate with family members but reserved toward strangers until they take their measure.

Health - The most common disorder is Hip and elbow dysplasia affecting canines and it is genetically inherited. Also, common eye problem such as progressive retinal atrophy. Hip dysplasia is hereditary, but it can also be triggered by environmental factors, such as rapid growth from a high-calorie diet or injuries incurred from jumping or falling on slick floors.

Grooming - Shedding often increases as the weather changes in the spring and fall, necessitating more regular brushing. Trimming nails and cleaning ear should be part of grooming routine. Also, aim to brush its teeth daily.

Exercise – The Malinois is a high-energy dog that needs a lot of exercise. These dogs generally aren’t well-suited to living in an apartment, as they need lots of space to run and play. Aim for at least one to two hours of exercise per day, including brisk walks, running, hiking, and playing fetch. They need a good jog or a vigorous play session. They especially enjoy herding.

Training - This breed is highly trainable, intelligent, and eager to please. These dogs generally have a moderately affectionate and friendly personality, but they do form strong bonds with their owners. The obedience training early on (while they are puppies) will help them develop into a well-adjusted, well-mannered adult.

Food – Feed a high-quality, nutritionally balanced canine diet. Check with your vet if you have any concern about your dog’s weight and diet. Watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level to protect from overweight.
