The Belgian Malinois is a medium-sized working dog known for its intelligence, agility, and versatility. They have a strong and muscular build with a short, dense coat. They are highly intelligent, trainable, and eager to please, making them excellent working dogs in roles such as police and military work, search and rescue, and as service dogs. They are energetic dogs that require regular exercise and stimulation. Socialization from an early age is important to develop their confidence and prevent behavior issues. While they can be excellent family pets, they are best suited for experienced owners who can provide them with the physical exercise, mental stimulation, and training they require.
