I have just started my new journey with my first dog.
He is a Belgian Melinous
Almost three months old.
My wife and I are having s great time with him. Except the 3am outings to pee and the occasional mistake In the bouse.

Smokey, our big black wolf was about 1/4 Belgian Tervuren. Be sure and stay one step ahead of him, because both the Malinois and Tervurens are ridiculously smart. Both are great dogs.

Belgians are very smart. You need to get him socialized with other dogs and people as soon as you can. I have had 3 of them. We lost Jewel's sister 2 months ago at 11 yrs old. Can't even think about getting another dog as long as we have Jewel because she will not tolerate another dog and never has from day 1. When Jewel is gone I will get another Belgian but hopefully not soon. I love them.
Thank you.Originally Posted by xs11jack

Well said OP.
I have a little lab named blue waiting for me at the rainbow bridge.
And this little fellow is my constant companion.

He is half Chihuahua and I think half Pom, he is a craigs list rescue. Young couple had a new baby and this pup and simply had no clue how to deal with him.
He has a few quirks, and the "salsa" is strong in him. But he is a good dog as long as he gets enough "run" time. It is when I get lazy about getting him out that we get problems cropping up. Little rascal knows his own mind and what he wants.
Still I can't complain. He is always either touching me or within reach. Attachment 201558
XDROB, I do like those ears too!
Radar Ears.
When he was about 12 weeks old they would touch each other when he was really concentrating on something. So cute.

So I had him secured to a ketchen chair so I could go do something quick. Got up , didn't know how to get down.

A Belgian Mal for your first dog??? Wow. Kind of like getting a full auto BAR for your first gun. Really great looking puppy though. Good luck
Haha, Ya, My wife and I talked with the breeder quite a bit before we pulled the trigger. We got the calmest of the 9 brothers and sisters. We visited 3 times. The last two our puppy (Logan) came right up to us and wanted to play. Third and last before we picked him up he came over and I got right on the ground with him, he rolled over on his back and wanted his belly rubbed. The breeder said we just got picked. And that he was very happy because he was the calmest of them all and was the one he would have picked for us.
We are having a great time with him
Also the nickname "MALINGATOR " fits like a glove. He chews eveything.

My golden ret/ridgeback girl was like that for a bit. Wait until you come home to shoe parts spread across the living room.
Yup, We had a three tier wire shoe rack near back door when we first brought him home at 9 weeks. Shoes on floor got removed immediately. Two weeks later first row got removed. One more week and whole rack got moved to bedroom. Wife thought that shoes we wanted near door to bring him out should go in corner cabinet near door. He watched her do it and then went over to the door and opened it and got his shoe. Cabinet is now empty. 🤣🤣

I hope you were told about a couple of Belgian traits. He will eventually start snapping or popping his teeth at you when he wants attention. It's not an aggressive behavior in Mals but some folks have a hard time with it. He may want to "mouth" you at times. I E hold your arm or hand in his mouth, again this is a breed trait and may pop up. Two of my three have done this and they all pop their teeth when they want some scritchen'.
They make excellent Police dogs for a reason. They need to be trained properly. That is one beautiful dog!
Good reading

He has not exhibited the teeth popping yet, But the mouthing most definitely. Not hard biting, just puting my arm or hand in his mouth. We have a very physical fetch and return game we play. I take a soft toy he likes and say ready,ready, Go. Throw it into the next room. He takes off like he just got shot out of a cannon. He brings it back growling and shaking his head as I grap it.. And we start over. I try to fake him out, by fake throwing. He might flinch Once but it not twice. Just stands there with his eye on the prize. I hit the floor for him to bring it back, which he does until he's tired of the game Just leaves the toy in the other room. So I just pick another, and start again.

Thanks, we are very happy we got him. I have had some serious talks with the breeder. And I trust the statement that he would not have sold us a dog if he thought we could not handle him. Told me he has turned down more people, because this starts a 10 year plus relationship and he wants it to be enjoyable on all sides. The dog, us , and him.
I did a lot of research on breeders and this guy has done and said all the right things I have read and heard an excellent breeder should do and say.

Not at all questioning your choice but we have had at least one Mal in the house for the past 25 years, all females and a couple of them were a bit bitchy when it came to other dogs. I would like to get a male next time but not until Jewel goes. She is not dog friendly. Vet visits have to be carefully planned but she is fine with people. I'm being snapped at as I type this. My wife and I do still miss her sister Gem who we lost about two months ago.
Great post, DCP. I understand it better than I wish I did! Thanks.
