The video that went over the Internet a couple of years of a Mal flying across
the parking lot....OVER
the top of the small vehicle to take out the person exiting the other side was
an awesome visual of a Mal at
work!!
However ..... I saw the rest of the video later.....and it shows the
officer/handler of the dog trying to get the
Mal to "out".....and it literally turned on its own handler and went after him
rather than quit.......

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Here's a new one
A local department uses primarily Mals. The other departments refer to them as
"land sharks". There are enough problems with the pre-trained GSDs brokers are
importing and that are being paired with handlers with few natural dog skills.
When those "canned" dogs are Mals, well, good luck.

Richmond CA. Today,About 35 miles west of my city a Richmond Police officer
shoots a Richmond police dog! Some how the dog got out of the car in the police
car lot and bit another officer, the officer shot the dog in
self-defense.....about 25 years ago many Bay Area police departments were
starting to use Malinois, incidentally one of Oakland PD's Mals bit TWO OPD
officers! At that time I trained my dogs with the SaN Jose police dogs! They
only had GSDs... The Richmond police dog was a Belgian Malinois... Dog is okay,
officer is okay.... The dog will be retired.... I think GSDs are better suited
for police work! Perhaps the Mals are better in the military because of their
superior "drive"...Ed
