7 Reasons You SHOULD NOT Get A Male Belgian Malinois 

Guys, the key of owning such a dog is education. If you don’t educate kids they become little twats, same with dogs. A well trained Malinois is amazing with kids. But no one should leave little kids alone with any dog, always under surveillance.

I had one male malinois and he was very calm and protective with my son. And he preferred to stay in the house than in the garden.

my male belgian malinois puppy can get tired easily just by sitting outside for 20 minutes and throwing a ball. and no, belgian malinois are not a threat to young children. they have high protective instincts, they would be on watch 24/7 over the child.

I have an in-tact male and got him as a baby pup. Trained him. He’s the BEST dog i’ve ever owned. He keeps me active and he’s so intelligent he’s like a buddy and is always on schedule.

I have an In-tact Male… He’s a wild boy😂 I wouldn’t change him for the world though. Definitely not for everyone, but for me he’s been great. Training training training🙌

All dogs are a lifetime commitment no if ands or buts.

I had a female first, then a male. They had 12 pups. I found homes for 11 and kept 1. I now have 3. Best dogs I've ever owned. They had me trained in no time. They also share their bed with me! The females are easier to train. My male is a hoss, they normally run around 70-80 lbs, he is 111. They say when these dogs are young and healthy, they can run about 35-40 mph, and have a bite of about 400+ lbs. Theyre very emotional as far as separation! For those that havent done the research, NO RAWHIDE, ever for any dog. Mine eat fresh cooked chicken or beef 7 days a week.

We had a female Mal first, then got a male Mal for breeding. The male turned out to be really good but the female was psycho !

I have one born 12/29/22 He was given to me when he was 4 months old and do not regret it. I have 2 acres of land in Texas. He's always outside loose protecting

My neighbor has one of these, and he's so cute and sweet!

Grew up with Schnauzers but got my boy Scooby in college & if anyone seen the movie Marley && Me, we experienced a similar life. Lol now have a home and picking up another pup early September. Best breed ever I don’t think I’ll never not own one throughout my lifetime.

I have a male Belgian Shepherd. I work him in Psa. Service, protection. Great dog. Most dogs that compete are males.

I love my boy he's tough for sure but it adds to his character I'm also a farmer and he's got lots of space to run around

I am a Dog Trainer for Service Dogs for the Elderly. I have trained 4 Belgian Maliois, 3 females and a Male. What I found is after the girls are spayed and the males are snipped, they seem to end up with a temperament relatively the same. My unconscious bias has manifested into using Females for this type work. The "Working Line" seems to be more amenable to Service Work than the "Show line". Females can be just as Aggressive and Domineering as the males. The bottom line is simple: give the dog a job and he/she will flourish into a confident super dog. The Malinois requires extensive training and time from the Alpha and would rarely work out as an apartment dog. Remember they are Field dogs. They are bred to be Herding dogs, Soldiers and Cops. These canine athletes are much more intelligent than we assume they are. Recognizing their signals is the key to success. I have had one for 11 years and she loves watching War Movies and Football games. I used the Animal Planet channel to watch lions and tigers to teach her how to hunt in a stealthy way and she did extremely well. The other female I have is just a cyclone of energy and I have to come up with ways to burn that off. She loves to work but not interested in TV learning.

I kind of feel like you are pigeon holing the male doggies..I feel ever one is a individual and training and patience is key to producing what you want, I found my male malinos in a Walmart dumpster and he's the best dog I've ever had..will hold the couch down all day sometime, smart, never nipped at my youngsters, loving will growl when I move him on the bed turn and lick me. He chases the ground squirrel and good cause they are a nuisance.he ok with the cats but he goes nuts after the mailman..

Malinois. Sounds like malon-wa. Just sayin'. 🙂

I love my mal! I got mine from OGK9 Very knowledgeable folks. I'll never own another breed!

I had a male malinois named beowulf. He was very large for a malinois( beo was around 105 to 110), but he was the calmest of the 3 I had. Compared to my females, who were aggressive, beowulf was gentle and loved meeting new ppl.

My 10 month Mali just had emergency surgery on his cruciate ligament and it's driving him crazy not being able to run

Yes, the main factor is ageing, which must be factored. 1-3 years implusive; 3-6 years the mind and thinking pops, has more free house stuff; past 6 on senior diet and full house freedom except in wire bedroom crate so that he won't be stepped on if we get up in the night. The main aspect is that these, like all dogs, MUST be around their handler and want to be near handler 24/7. That right there is hard on most that don't have a K9 sense; these love to lick their handler as that's important to them for whatever reason; These are sharp when injured so handler will catch a nice nip when sorting out an injury so I keep soft muzzle nearby. I do not correct on nips, play or injury. Bottom line, these are sweet dogs mixed with some stubborn attitude focused upon whatever, very smart yet often silly dumb. :)

To all the people commenting on the pronunciation… like do you not understand this isnt a human speaking but rather AI??? And because its not an english word its mispronouncing it??? So commenting on it is super pointless…. Like come on people… 🙄

i have a female belgian malnois and she's far from being a guard dog. she's too sociable and friendly. good thing she's scary looking

So if I am a lazy fuck who just sleeps and plays video games when not at work, don’t get one?

The minute you misprounced Malinois ….. I stopped listing

I see nothing but typical info that applies not just to males but to the entire breed and to a lot of other shepherds high energy breeds too...

Getting a female month old puppy today cant wait to start training her

Here’s a Thought…….Don’t get a Mali if 1- you have never had a dog 2- if you are insecure 3, if your time poor 4, If you haven’t a clue on training 5, Don’t socialise with children at all ages …..and get the kids to respect the dog 6, Always , Always have a Cat in the home first and manage the introduction to the pup , not a full grown dog that’s just plain silly …..7 I don’t know everything …I know somethings ….But Key to Everything is Training , Exercise, Rest , consistency and Patience….lots of Patience….oh and of course one day prepare for your heart to be broken ……don’t sit looking at that empty cage hopefully that Mali did a good job training you for the next one.❤

Everything on this list fits both Males and Females. I foster for a Malinois (Pronounced Mal-in-Wa) rescue and have had many dogs come through my door who had bad breeding, bad socialization, no training, ect. Interestingly though, they are very adaptable and with the right training and structure can bounce back from their start in life. There is no magic button with them though, you need to be consistently consistent with your consistency when it comes to them. I absolutely love the breed and helping them blossom into the right dog for the right home, but they aren't for everyone so research research research, and be honest with yourself on your lifestyle. To keep it real, I have had Mals in my life for almost 20 years, but my current 2 dogs (14 yrs old, 6 yrs old) will probably be my last Mals. I don't have the super active lifestyle I had or my own energy levels to keep up, while I love the breed I will probably go with herding breed that is a bit lower in the energy level.

4:06 That look. He just did something and he's got NO shame!

I actually have Belgian Malinos She's a female. We love her a lot except for my mom doesn't really care for Zoe.

Beautiful dog. Unfortunately, I don’t have the energy for one.

I have a male Mal.. love him, young kids and wife love him also. But, somehow, some way, at some time... they will accidentally hurt you

This video made me want to buy a Malinois even more.⭐👍🏻⭐👍🏻⭐👍🏻⭐

I don't want to say all this is true but it is very accurate information atleast in my experience as she said though with the right training and socialization they do make amazing dogs but it is more work than most people can imagine even for experienced dog owners they are more work than any other breed ive owned but I had a good understanding of this and now love the breed definitely wouldn't recommend to a novice dog owner or someone who expects an average dog to play and train with

I've got a all black male and a female Mali light body black mask I've had no problems with any of them but I do run them twice daily

You need to know how to say the beed name

I really wish the ppl that makes these videos would learn to say the breed name correctly!

Mal in wa !

I always take advice from people who can’t even pronounce the name of the dog breed 🤣

Its all in the training

Male Belgian Malinois: Did you just assumed my gender?

My LunaBella is a good girl overall. She demands her daily exercise, though. She loves to be chased🤭

I have a female and the females are complicated im doing all the training myself snd sometimes i wanna give up not for the weak

i love malinois

These dogs are wound up. I use a ball flinger and play ball until he doesn't bring it back LOL. He loves to run. Evenings too.

It's pronounced ma lin wa .

Stimulating their mind is just as important as physical exercise.

I got what I thought was a German shepherd puppy turns out she is a malinois x German shepherd more mal then Shepard she is extremely intelligent and when she gets a idea she just does it and has to be corrected immediately very high energy 4 am wake up time with breakfast and then outside for zoomies AT 4am…. I also have a cane corso she actually does run circles around him he just sits and waits for her to stop being annoying he like the rest of us are still half asleep my poor boy 😂 I love them both….. both are good with my kids my mal x is so good never had to correct her with the kids now my cane corso had some resource guarding issues with my older 2 kids as a 8 week old puppy and I worked with him to correct that and he has been great ever sense but that would be something that would scare alot of people and definitely takes a solid confident owner for either breed one could run across America and the other will have you in the kennel if you don’t stay on top of training

Really the selection of a good breeder & proper training are way more important than the sex

Wrong you should get one its the best protective dog 👍👍

Pronounce the name correctly. Please?

Do you want to see mine?? how many have you had ONE?? smart one. Mine is an excellent protection dog but is happy to sit around the house like any other dog.

Yeah, both have tons of energy, I prefere a male

I can do that....

Belgium melonwhy Melonwee melonwuh melatonin melon melonee Griffith. I think she got em all.

I'm not going to give much merit to someone's take on a breed if they can't even pronounce the name of the breed correctly.

This dog is a pain in the S. Seriously. I love them though

This is based on opinions at this point and no experience what so ever

It’s pronounced Malin-wah!

You don't get to tell me anything about a dog when you can't pronounce the name.

Im going to buy a shepherd instead, just so i dont have to tell rveryone hes a malinwa

Mal-lin-wa

There are experienced dog trainers sharing content on RU-vid, why would you watch a trash video like that with AI voice on top of some images

Its hard for AI to pronounce some words. Im fairly sure this is AI.

I will only EVER own Males, bigger, better looking, easier to train.

Do you want to see mine?? how many have you had ONE?? smart one. Mine is an excellent protection dog but is happy to sit around the house like any other dog. ALSO, females can be MORE active than males where did you get this inaccurate info??

The pronounce is malinu-waaa!

malinois not malinoi --> spelling is "mal in wah"

Belgian Mah-Illinois 🤦‍♂️.

I wish ppl would stop dissing my dog. Get a life.

“Wah”. Belgian “Malin-wah”.

Booooooo. To each their own. I'm high energy and my dog is a perfect match.

Before you start telling people about a dog breed you should at least show respect by learning how to pronounce their name or you come across as a fool , , It is pronounced "MAL-IN-WAH"

In most cases a male is double the work. Imo

please stop calling this breed a Belgian Malinoi ... it is pronounced correctly "ma-li-nwa" and its true name is Belgian Shepherd. just like Lamborkini it is "lam-bor-jini" you don't make it right by having everyone to pronounce it wrong. most of your content is correct, but difference between male and female is all not so big as referred to by you in the vid. there is a difference between high-drive personality and lower-drive personality, reason why it is always advisable to get your Belgian Shepherd from a breeder who knows what he is doing with these dogs. this is not a show-dog to get into your house just to show off to your friends. they ask for an intelligent and consistent owner which will guide them in every step of their educaction. these dogs are excellent companions and literally walk through fire to rescue their owner, if educated and treated correctly, like every other dog by the way !

Malinwa

100% BS male or female are all individuals so different personalities in males and females but apart from that these rules apply for both sexes it implies females somewhat easier and its simply BS they are all hard work

One of the languages of Belgium is French. "Malinois" isn't pronounced like "Illinois". It's pronounced mal-uhn-waa. Please google "malinois pronunciation", which you should have done before mispronouncing it throughout this video on the Belgian Malinois.

Poor baby mauled to death

Belgium Malinois...who ever is running this pod cast here...they r pronouncing it wrong!

You're pronouncing it wrong.

ABSOLUTELY!!! THIS IS A STUPID ( AI) TRYING TO PRONOUNCE THE PROPER NAME OF A BELGUIM MALINIOUS!!!

BS!! I CALL BS

it’s spelled Malinois but pronounced MALINUOA!!!

Definitely not for the average dog owner!! Do yourself a big FAVOR and do the research on this breed. I wouldn't recommend this breed unless you are an experienced dog handler and have plenty of time to dedicate to him. This isn't a dog that you can close the back yard gate and leave him alone. Mine is always with me 24-7 if I'm in the yard he is out with me. If I'm in the house he is inside If I have to go somewhere where I can't take him he is in his Kennel. NEVER NEVER left unattended. I PERSONALLY DONOT RECOMMEND THIS BREED AS A HOUSE PET. THEY ARE POLICE AND MILITARY DOGS!!!!!

are you crazy?

Interesting video but: PLEASE! It’s not pronounced “malinoy” it’s “malinwah”. Sheesh!

You can't even pronounce the name what do you know about the. Breed

Wow this was pathetic to watch lol

Some days I am glad I am deaf so I didn't have to listen to the miss pronunciation of the name. So I shouldn't own a male. I am enjoying life with my second one. I am 70 years old. They keep me Young and active. You don't have a clue what the Hell you are talking about.

Another robotic voice

1 reason to not listen to this dumb video. It doesn't matter, both sides can be insane or the best dog you've ever owned. It's all down to training and educating your dog. Own a male malinois and he couldn't be more of a teddy bear.

Great dog. Still good, fespite dog shows. Also, The Dogs of Our Ancestors On eBay Excellent dogs, no dog shows.

I got two beautiful girls🤎🤎

Malinwah

You don't know what you are talking about.
