a German Malinois

German Malinois
German Shepherd / Belgian Malinois
Hybrid
i fink he's lurvely



"Marley, as a 4 month old puppy. Her sire
(father) was a German Shepherd and her Dam (mother) was a Belgian
Malinois. She has exceptional intelligence. She understands sit, lie
down, shake, speak and high-five by both verbal command
and hand signals. We're still working on several other commands of
which 'stay' seems to be the hardest. At 31.4 pounds of extreme energy,
she is the energizer bunny on steroids! She must constantly have
something to chew on, otherwise she will shred anything within reach
in record time, so rawhide chewbones are a necessity. She also replaced
my broken paper shredder. Her herding instincts are very strong and
will chase anything that moves, including a leaf blowing across the
yard, butterflies, birds, etc. She has a variety of toys, but prefers
the stuffed animal ones that squeak or make noise. She loves to play
tug-of-war with her toys, be chased and chase you. Her love of water
and mud puddles is exceptional and if you have a walk-in shower, don't
leave the door open with the water running! She amuses herself by
playing with her toys when left alone, but if someone is around, she
has to be with them. When she needs to go out, she will find someone
and lick their hand (kisses) until they take her out, otherwise she
will lick and nip at your toes and heels to get you moving. She's very
alert and will bark and growl at anything unfamiliar as long as she is
standing behind your legs. Her worst fault is that is she is out in the
open, she does not want to come when you call her. She wants you to
come after her and just as you get within reach, she bolts off like a
jack rabbit, and there's no catching her. We've learned the best way to get her attention is to ignore her and walk
off like we're leaving her. The other fault is her constant attempts to
get your attention to play with her, especially if you're trying to get
ready for work. She waits until you get one leg into your jeans and
then grabs the other making you hop around on one leg trying to get the
other pants leg back. As you pull on a sock, she either grabs the end
and pulls it off, or she takes off with the other one so you'll have to
chase her down. After you've gone through this same scenario with the
shoes, she then follows you around pulling the laces to untie them or
pulls back the velcro straps. Her antics are limitless as is her energy
level."

i like the look and sound of this dog

look at them ears

gorgeous arent they :2431:

where you get this hun?

wouldnt recomened one as a pet tho guys not if from working stock

i was offered one many years ago b4 getting ke from west mids police very dominent lad but i had paddy so wanted a girl lol

i know graham jones has bred some working mali x GSD's with ian walshaw they were amazing

Awwww very sweet :love: Too energetic for me though :2445:

it isnt a breed tho? its wat we call a hybrid but we dont call them german malinois just a gsd/ mali hybrid must be american?

if bred correctly a GSD/ Mali hybrid makes a amazing working dog not loads over here prob more in the US tho

the mali was put in the GSD to improve it, as we all know the malis health is well speaks for itself. the ave mortality rate is they live to 15yrs plus and only the odd young death to cancer here and there.

but i think the GSD also brings a LOT to the mali making it a lil more stable maybe in some cases, but have to say the ppl who want these want extreme dogs as i do.

LMAO they are a fab mix tho Paula if done right altho the ones i know of as horrid as it sound IMO look much better then this dog its cute but not my cup of tea

:2445: :2445: :2445:

I still love the Dutch Shep, the "too much energy for me" is just an excuse I'm trying to convince myself with

Duchies are fab nearly got one but was a bitch but one off ian walshaws dogs omg what a bitch that would have been lol

:2445: Maybe in ten years The only thing I like more than the Mali is the colour of a Dutch, I do prefer darker dogs

when i rang ian about one of his litters i said about meeting mum and he basically said shes not social outside her family id seen vids of her in holland working tho and wow what a dog

They dont look their weight at all, very deceptive cos they are so compact and fit. I love them. Mags is over 40 kilos without an ounce of fat on her yet in some pics she looks like a big fat blob, not svelte at all!!

awww poor mags lol

they are they are very compact, depending which lines you get with mals you can gt heaver set ones also
