What kind of home is suitable for a Malinois?
An owner who gets the most out of his or her Malinois is usually one who has had some previous experience of dog ownership and dog training. Even so, many new owners are not prepared for the high degree of “intensity” in this dog’s personality. Whatever they do, they do to the maximum: whether that be work, play, or just adoring you, their master. The Malinois likes to be included in all your activities, so if you like jogging, hiking, running, biking, obedience, out-of-door activities, or just spending a lot of time with your dog, then the Malinois may be a good choice for you. However, if you often work extended hours, must travel frequently, or have other activities that often keep you away from your dog, then this is definitely not the breed for you.
