Raising the Belgian Malinois is for people that have a lot of time to dedicate to the breed and also a lot of property for this beast to run on, we have ten acres and currently use about three acres for the dogs and oddly enough we have three Belgian Malinois.
I would suggest to anyone that is considering the Belgian Malinois to think hard if you have never had one previously, they are in a word "WORK" This is not a dog you can pay attention to part time, this is a full time all the time dog, from the first crack of dawn until the sun sets this breed is going 100% of the time, oh they might take a break and rest, however give it ten minutes and shake your head at what just happened.
I have been blessed with the ability to work from home which allows me to spend all the time needed to work with our three Malinois, to keep them engaged with lots of activity.
