Featured Breed
Belgian Malinois

Are you highly energetic and active? If so, the Belgian Malinois might be your breed of choice when looking for a new fur-baby. These dogs are great watchdogs and guardians. They are smart, cooperative, protective, defensive and confident.

But, you need to remember…

Belgian Malinois were bred to herd. It is their natural instinct. Malinois require a high amount of exercise, and if they do not get this exercise, they can become bored and start herding children and nipping at peoples’ heels. This instinct can tend to lead them to chase bikes, cars, kids, and other animals.

They thrive best in an adult-only home where they can get lots of attention. When the Belgian Malinois is raised with children, they can be very accepting. But they might be uneasy around your kids’ friends. Malinois are best suited with a family that has older children that understand how to treat a dog properly.


Belgian Malinois should not and usually do not respond with aggression or nervousness when introduced or confronted with an unfamiliar person. Instead, this trait is usually a sign that they have not been properly socialized. However, they can still snap or growl out of fear or aggression. For these reasons, it is highly recommended to adopt a Belgian Malinois from a reputable breeder who produces dogs with a good temperament.

Dr. Lofgren cares for the Greensboro Police Department’s K-9 Unit which currently has four Belgian Malinois on active duty.

The breed’s personality makes them a perfect military, service and police dog. Did you know that since 1992, our own Dr. Lofgren has been caring for the Greensboro Police Department’s K-9 Unit? Currently, the unit has four Belgian Malinois on active duty. Two of the handlers and their dogs joined us during the Barktoberfest on October 12, 2024. They showed off their skills and their handlers talked to our guests during their visit.


Be Prepared to be ACTIVE!

Adopting a Belgian Malinois can or will give you an active lifestyle. But, if you are not up to taking care of an active dog, we do not recommend adopting this breed. Whether it’s a formal role on a ranch or fun tracking games or agility, they do best when occupied. And it’s not just for a few hours a day. These dogs need to spend most of their waking hours with their owner/handler and making good use of that busy brain.

Interesting Facts About the Breed:

  • The average life span for a Belgian Malinois is 12-14 years.
  • A female Malinois can be 22-24 inches tall fully grown and weigh between 40-60 pounds.
  • A male Malinois can be 24-26 inches tall fully grown and weigh between 60-80 pounds.
  • Belgian Malinois have a short smooth coat of hair that sheds less than a German Shepherd.
