Well before January of 2006, I would have said "there is no other breed", but a beautiful little Belgian Malinois came into my life and life has never been the same. Similar to a GSD but also VERY different. They are higher drive than our GSDs, and really do "need a job". My Kala knows what I'm thinking and planning to do before I do it. The standard says they are to be "aloof & reserved with strangers", Kala missed that part of basic training. She has never met a stranger, although she can be a pistol around other dogs if challenged. She has loved every GSD that she has lived with and also has a few of them as playmates. Loves everyone she meets and has that "look at me attitude". This is a breed that you can owner handle & win with if you have a good one. Kala is proof positive to that. They shed just as much as a GSD as they have that nice thick undercoat. Good breeding is a must just as in a GSD. I am very proud to be owned by "Gr. Champion Ch.
