I have seen both Malinois and German Shepherds working as police dogs â in Europe, they tend to use the Mals more these days. All of the ones that Iâve seen, both in police competitions and in demos â out beautifully. The choice is strictly âpersonal choiceâ of the departments who use them. The RCMP here in Canada are still producing quality GSDâs in their breeding programs for their work. An âoutâ is a training issue, not a breed issue â not even if youâre cross breeding them.

'bad biting'? Are you saying that is the problem when they cross a Malinois with a German Shepherd Dog?? That surprises me as it sounds like the GSD 'added' is to blame? I always thought that was the only real Malinois problem?? Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com On Behalf Of angela scott To: campaignersgsd@xxxxxxxxx; marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; The ones I have seen do not"out" when the officer gets to the dog and the bad guy....bad bites that's for sure. Angela Scott From: Joan Fox To: marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; scenecrest.geo@xxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Re: Malinois / GSD mix? My understanding is they did do that but have now gone back to German Shepherds as have most police departments. Malinois were too unpredictable and sharp but they liked the smaller size and agilty. They proved to be more subject to injury also. Hence.the crosses. They soon found they could not predict what they would guess in the crosses. Oh gosh, welcome to dog breeding. LOL That show is old now maybe 12 years. I am sure someone will correct me if that is wrong. LOL Joan Joan F.
