The Thanglings are 6 weeks old and it's time to start introducing them to adult dogs other than Momma ThanggG. They get to meet father Alrick and Uncle Magnus.
It’s pretty incredible that the same mouth that can send a grown adult to the hospital can grab a puppy without leaving a scratch. What an awesome personality on that pooh pup!
I mean, every animal who is there to raise their small ones is supposed to know instinctively how to be gentle and to play with very measured strength.
❤ this. Yup. To me it always amazes how Mama dogs, go directly into mama role the moment of birth, and yes, they are very protective of their babies at first. Especial before all the running around and playing. But Uncle Magnus is truly a playful uncle. Love their ears. Already up. Alexandra did so well with her first litter of puppies. Great momma Thangg.
I loved how Magnus actually launched himself off of purple in a split second after the yelp and was like "Oh shoot, you okay bud? Nice! Come at me! Dang, you're so strong!" Gonna be real good for the puppys confidence later in life because its distress signals were taken seriously AND it managed to win against uncle Magnus right after its short life flashed before its eyes. @modernmalinois Love what you and your team are doing, Matt! Keep up the great work! ❤
Magnus reminds of Jules dad from Disney movie 🐦 Rio2. Grandpa was playfully playing with Blue and Jules kids like he wasn't the old fellow 🐦 anymore 😂. Thanks for updating us on the family. Btws you have gain you a new subscriber :)
The unfortunate aspect of these videos is that you make Malinois ownership appear easy when it actually requires significant experience and resources. You do an amazing job with the puppies and adult dogs and I wish every breeder/trainer had your dedication and respect for the animals.❤
Adorable puppy videos notwithstanding, he’s constantly exhibiting training methods and expressing the importance of starting young. I would hope ppl would recognize that his mals are well-trained and not just innately following commands. I know many ppl are foolishly buying them and they’re sadly ending up in shelters. I just don’t think (hope) it’s ppl watching these videos, many of which have educational content. I think responsibility falls on potential owners to research the breed and on the breeders to vet the potential owners-their lifestyle and capabilities. The irresponsible Malinois owner/breeder trend is definitely upsetting.
Yes, he definitely makes it look easy. And you’re always going to get those idiots that think that their dog will be just like his. The Burstyn, popularity of this breed over the last few years has not been a good thing in my opinion. Are used to have a friend that was a dog trainer, she said the worst thing that could happen to a breed of dog is for it to become popular. I think she’s right. These are definitely not dogs for the average dog owner. Not even close.
I love the absolute HERD of puppies chasing after the adult dogs and pinning them down 😂 best thing ever to see them working in a team like this. Also, the sacrifice the shoe to save the ankle was just adorable.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. These videos are therapeutic. Watching the dogs interact with one another and hearing you describe and narrate it is just calming and relaxing. Hands down the best RU-vid channel for dog lovers and just in general. Crazy that you don't have more subscribers.
I love how the puppies colouring is such a perfect mix of their sires. Alrick is such a good poohpah. Magnus is so handsome, look at those ears. Nice to see Alex's body in recovery.
Hard to believe that the Thanglings are already weaned! Feels like yesterday that they were just born and now look at them, just amazing representatives of their breed and absolutely adorable!! As much as I'd love a Mal, I think its best if I watch professionals!
All the grown up pups are so good with the babies - and the babies are confident enough to push their boundaries and learn from the big guys... so fantastic! Beautiful behaviour and conditioning
My favorite thing in the world is seeing someone doing what they were clearly born to do, and loving it. You were clearly born to work with these incredible dogs, to help them, in turn, do all the things they were born for. It's a joy to observe. What an absolutely beautiful family. 😊
It makes my heart happy to see Alrick and Magnus again, and all the grown-up Mals reunited. Alexandra looks so fit and healthy, considering she was just nursing eight growing puppies. Blue seems very confident, not shy about wrestling Alrick and Magnus (or biting ankles)
I really, really love how he went instantly to 0 at the first "ouch" from the purple kiddo. And mommy didn't jump at him either. The whole thing is so wholesome ! It reminds me of a malinois family I've met, with a doting dad who was spending a lot of time cleaning his kids.
My boy was an amazing help in raising pups and helping them become good dogs It's crazy how stable and well rounded your dogs are. Working in rescue for 30 yrs ive seen what poor breeding and raising can do to a dog. I love watching these dogs being so very loved.
Watching these video's makes me want to get a Malinois, but then I remember that this breed does not suit me at all hehe. I love watching the pups play with the adults!
This made me remember watching my 2 year old mal play with his baby bro. The sounds they would make! The flash of fangs and toofies! Love that these videos bring back memories!
Omg adorbs overload. I'm in Thangling heaven! The adult dawgs were so incredible with the pups. Ty, I have a stupid grin on my face, can't get rid of it. 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
What nice balanced dogs you have here, MM, wow, truly beautiful to see. Where i come from, the birthplace of malinois (belgium), every one can get a malinois, and so the animal shelters are full with them. Counting malinois and armstaffs together, they make up half (!) of the population there. Sorry to get the sad note, but seeing your amazing dogs shows how great and happy they can be with the right tutor/trainer..
This is amazing! Thank you for educating us, I learn so much about my dog wathcing your videos.I have a 2 yo girl samoyed and she always retreats when conflict arises. I always thought she is shy and afraid, now I understand she is wise and and well behaved. 🙏🏼 Your dogs are wonderful.
I lost my pup about 6 months ago. Though I’m not close to adopting any pups in the near future, I truly enjoy your vids. I plan on introducing your techniques when training begins.
Can you please make a longer video of the pups playing, it will very helpful to watch for therapy like you mentioned. Thanks for sharing this moments. 🐾🐾
Reminder, those are baby-malinators! Those teeth are SHARP!!! I love watching your videos and your dogs, but I will still to my Retrievers, At my age, Malinois are TOO MUCH.
I deal with chronic pain, and some days are worse than others. I've added your channel to my list of things that help, because your relationships with your dogs makes me so happy! Wish you were local, I'd love to give the puppies kisses!
I’d love to see how you introduce bite work, I see a lot of people play on frustration, and I feel like the intensity gets to a level where the dog loses control. I love how you treat and raise both your dogs and the puppies you’ve bred, I hope to learn a lot more about how you train!
Its such a good example of how training like this helps dogs live their best possible lives. I really wish modern society and pet ownership allowed more of the family units to stay together
You do such a great job with these pups. Very impressed. We made the mistake of doing two malis at once as older adults… I am very used to dogs and have a long history with highly active dogs who need a lot of training..and yet I was still not fully prepared for what two maligators really need. 19 years later… it has been a fun ride. They are not fully trained as strong as I would like, but they are great dogs and I will never do two at once again. However, it is time for a new pup so the old can train the young.
