The correct spelling is Belgian Malinois, for both Sharon and Mike.
This is the breed that is becoming more of a favorite over the German
Shepherd for Police Departments because of both the health of the dog and
the cost.
It is not right that they show a picture of a German Shepherd snarling when
the dog in question was a Malinois, thank you Sharon for calling them. Did
they have anything to say about it?
