1. 1. Belgian Malinois
The Malinoisis a medium-to-largebreed of dog, sometimes classified as a variety of the Belgian
Shepherd dog rather than as a separate breed. The name "Malinois" is derived from Malines, the
French name for the breed's Flemish city of origin, Mechelen.
Description
 The Malinois is a medium-to-large and square-proportioned dog in the sheepdog family.
The Malinois has a short mahogany coat with black markings.
 It has black erect ears and a blackmuzzle.
 The acceptable colours of pure-bred Malinois are a base colour fawn to mahogany and
tan with a black mask and black ears with some degree of black tipping on the hairs,
giving an overlay appearance.
 The colour tends to be lighter with less black agouti or overlay on the dog's underside,
breeching, and inner leg.
 White markings are also allowed on the tips of the toes and the chest.
 A Belgian malinois may have a longer and darker hair coat than the typical malinois, but
may still be referred to as a Belgian malinois.
 Males are about 61–66 cm (24–26 in), while females are about 56–61 cm (22–24 in) at
the withers. Female Malinois average 20–25 kg (44–55 lb); males are heavier at 25–30 kg
(55–66 lb).
Temperament and Needs
 Well-raised and trained Malinois are usually active, intelligent, friendly, protective, alert
and hard-working.
 Belgian Malinois exhibit energy levels that are among the highest of all dog breeds.
 A typical Malinois will have puppy-like energy until the age of three, though it is not
uncommon for them to exhibit this energy level until the age of five.
 Many have excessively high prey drive. Some may be excessively exuberant or playful,
especially when young.
 This often causes problems for owners who are unfamiliar with the breed and are not
prepared to provide the exercise they require or a job for them to do.

2. Life Span
 The average lifespan of the Belgian Malinois is 10–12 years.
