Hello to everybody, I am a first time Malinois owner but have worked with them many times in IPO training. My first Shutzhund dog was a GSD, she is now retiered and turned out not to be well suited for the protection work. My 13 month old Malinois is doing very well and I am really enjoying the breed now from a trainer-handler point of view.
Welcome on board. I wish you a pleasant stay and lot of discussion to learn and exchange of wisdom. There always will be differences in training between a Malinois and GSD: enjoy and wonder. If this anything could be of any help to reach toplevel: this forum will be .
_((tip: we all love to see pictures of the dog ((of course a peak inside the country you live in)) and have knowledge of the bloodline... --let's say: breeders defect :-) --))_
Thanks for the welcome. I willpost pictures when I can get a digital camara to use as I don't have one. I am fortunate to have a good person to help me to train my malinois. He has titled many malinois in French and Monidio ring as well as Shutzhund, and understands the breed very well. Rocco is from a local breeder who imports dogs and has contacts in Holland. Hope this helps: Rocco's Sire Halusetha's Eros from Halusetha's Donder and Halusetha's U.S. Timba. Dame Malinhust Rikka Igor Kora from Brutus Igor v.d. Sierkamp and Malinhurst Kora Jaures Laska. If you need any more info on the pedigree let me know.
