Yesterday my husband Joe asked me to come into the living room to watch
something on TV that I would be interested in. They were interviewing a K-9
handler & his dog in the Phoenix area. And were going to demonstrate some
bite work, etc., with the handler's dog. To my disappointment the handler
had a Malinois. The reporter asked about the breed & of course I didn't like
what he had to say. "Oh yes, the Malinois are taking over because, they are
more square built, high drive, less HD in the breed, smaller, more agile for
doing what we ask of them." he proudly blurred out. Really cut the GSD breed
which was very disappointing for me to hear. I remember long ago when I was
going to watch a yearly trial with a GSD, Bart I bred & placed with a
long-time K-9 handler in Minneapolis. There was one Malinois that day
trialing as well I asked about. I remember Bart's handler saying, "Yup, I
think we're going to be seeing more of these Malinois coming into the PD.
But I have to say, the breed is crazy & the most of them out of control
without a strong handler at their side." At that time the whole Minneapolis
PD only had GSDs. And I was told that the greatest percentage of those dogs
were from the Humane Societies or donations. I know at this time our
Cottonwood PD pays $6,000 for their Malinois coming out of CA. I've been
told where those Malinois come from the dogs are confirmed to be of
greatness & if there are any problems having to go to court the kennel will
represent the dog & its handler.
