👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 And that's an indisputable fact ! We got a malinois /healer because of allergies . What a handful !

I recently adopted/rescue a 10 Yo mini Schnauzer, with a litany of issues according to the owners; barking, incontinence, nips, pulling on leash. He has some health issues, they probably didn't want to deal with, and was allowed to have his own way, so he required discipline and needed to learn to Trust. This dog just wants to please someone who offers stability. THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE DOG! I'm so glad I took a chance on him.

Dang if that isn’t the truth tho 😔

I didnt want a mal, but I found a shep/mal mix and I couldnt help myself. Hes a handful, hes a butthead, but hes so friendly and loving I wouldnt give him up for the world. Actually I think Id sell him for like 10k. But I still love him!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT I SWEAR. i have a 13 mo old Golden Retriever ( 90 lb super amazing dog ) that grew up around 3 Malinois. Of those 3 only 1 remains with its family. Now, i see all the bad things that breeds like BM go through. It reqlly aggravates me now seeing them suffer. Along with many other dog breeds.

I found mine around 5 months in the woods in bad shape in snow storm in Cali mountains starved and chewed up chain marks cut into the neck

@@ryno856 lucky dog you rescued him!

How lucky u r,, I spent half of my 15 years savings to get two of them....

I gaze upon my Malinois, and feel absolutely fortunate to have a breed that came from the work of nature, and many men/woman over the centuries. They are amazing creatures that came to challenge us, and love us deeply.

I found my Mal at a rural Humane Society just outside Phoenix. He was just shy of four months old. I couldn't believe nobody had adopted him, but I'm grateful he didn't go to the wrong home. His mom was at the shelter when she was pregnant, so my guy had been there since birth. I have a senior Mal, so I'm familiar with the breed. My little guy has been with us for just over two months. He is the sweetest, smartest boy. Lots of energy, of course, but that's what I expected. You can find great dogs at shelters.

Good for you. You must be giving yr dog a job and exercise unlike his first bad placement.

I couldn’t agree more.

💯💯💯 I have a socialized terrier who doesn't like puppies for obvious reasons and when she snarled and snapped at my friends puppy she freaked out.. im over here like.. uh, they are dogs, it's how they get puppies in line.

I have a male Dutch Shepherd and a female GSD/Greyhound mix that are 4 months apart and let me tell you when the girl gets rough... I fear for the poor boy's life 😂Those mean little faces she makes! They play rough constantly and I never panic but sometimes other people will see this behavior and call it "aggressive" or they'll think the girl is trying to eat the poor boy when really she's just correcting him for chewing on her paws or ears or whatever obnoxious behavior he was guilty of at the time. I'm glad she took to him and helps me keep him in line!

I have an adhd delinquent of a dog that had no socialization skills and used to bite much too hard. I think every other rescue I have has smacked him down and told him off at least once. Not a one of them drew blood despite him having done so. His manners are much improved.

I agree...and diff between play drive and play drive...and when to reward and when to correct..and how to introduce dogs with high energy. I am concerned at the course content in a.behav.degrees as opposed to real time in the field knowledge. Can't compare the 2...

I am very happy for you and your new family member .

Becky Watt thanks! Appreciate it! He’s the best & im glad he landed in the right hands.

Is the dog vegan?

Yay, good for him he's out of the shelter and away from the idiot that gave him up. Hope he gets all he needs to live out the rest of his happy days in a good home

Good

P.S. The reason I have not adopted him is I have a geriatric special needs dog. If there is a way to make it work and if Robert has some suggestion, I'd be glad to take adopt him

You’d be better off to advocate for him. Take care of your dog first.

@@RobertCabralDogs Thank you for your reply. Let me know how I can help him. I am local (Hollywood) and am also available to help with tasks for Rocky (including local transpo). Thank you again for doing this video. I have fallen in love with this dog when I first saw his pic on the shelter's site and now that i see vids of him, he is amazing. When I called the shelter the employee I spoke with at intake said someone gave the dog to the people that dumped him. I tend to believe that as I don't think the "owners" that dropped him off would have been able to train him so well. Best D

Hmmm...per comments below, someone gave him to the people that surrendered him. Usually that happens with job loss, foreclosures, etc. New owner wasnt prepared for a malinois, even if they knew him with previous owner.

Belgians are just special! I too was exhausted by a Belgian puppy, also just loved him. They are so smart, it’s a daily challenge. I called it a daily negotiation with my male. I put the time in and the training and as an adult he was so special. I loved him even more. The bond they require is surprising. As we trained each other!!! Enjoy that high energy intelligent puppy. Best dog you will ever have!!! Belgian pups can be exhausting, but you will love love the adult!!

Every now and then I have an...oh I need 5 mins peace...and shut doggie gate and lie on my bed with a cuppa...I get you😅 but 5 mins later those superintelligent ears poking over the gate at top of stairs...Well I just have to get up and give em a rub and hug and kiss my girl...she's more than family. She's my world and I'd never part with her...she's taught me a new level of training..by letting me train her.. with yes..tennis balls...

It didn't. We all know this. They had to come up with a porkies to justify getting a new toy and not wanting the old one...sadly that lie may have got him put down...people. I never believe the stories. Ever. I got a so called killer horse 6 male burly grooms couldn't handle. Settled down..2 weeks...then I guessed he had a bad tooth. Equine dentist confirmed. He was a polish warm blood. Horse equivalent. Of Mali. Big pussycat. With a wicked play drive. Sadly badly damaged by every training camp under the sun. Worst began with p. Word. Say no more. Emporers new clothes. Good training is common sense really.

Check out the malinois rescues. More and more great dogs are in need of homes.

They won't unless they get professional help. It will be dumped by the time it's four. Given away, taken to a shelter or had the collar removed so the next time it escapes it won't be brought back and will become someone else's problem.

@Carl Stirling not necessarily as Mali's are very tractable compared to a Husky and Husky"s are bred to pull. I own a 7 year old Mali x Herder as well 2 working line GSD's but i wouldn't want a Husky.

😄😅🤣😂😂

@Carl Stirling oh no.

@@ianwhite5799 What bothers me is... Huskies (other "arctic breeds" are bred to run). Why try to raise them ... in an apartment, condo or 'modern' 3 - 4 bedroom house... which is built on 2500 or 3000 sq ft lot. (only 10, 15 feet between houses; then they wonder why the neighbors resent when the dogs, bark, howl or whine... No front yard and barely enough room for a BBQ and 2 or 3 lawn chairs! If you don't have time to walk your dog... then I doubt if you have the time, dedication or animal sense to teach them how to run alongside a Bike rider without an extreme danger of pulling you off the bike. Smart dogs/working dogs; quickly learn how to either climb over, under or destroy fences of less than 6 ft. (which is the std in most housing developments) ... they are escape "artists" ... running, for them is not just a desire... its a necessity. Most working dog, will 'push' the limits - to find where they stand in the pack. If you can't set the limits ... then don't expect them to stop pushing. Personally... I hate. Designer / hybrid dogs...! You can't just mix dog breeds, like pain swatches - looking for that "perfect" formula; which matches your 'Lifestyle'. Far as I am concerned, if you aren't ready to invest "half a life time" into creating a dog breed, then don't even bother! ... What happens to all the throw-away (failures?). When you look at some breeds (like the GSD, Dobermann Pinscher ... they have 'only been recognized breeds, since the last 100 years or so) finally, becoming 'more or less stable. and NOW, you find folks who want to mix them with everything from Pit, rottweilers, "Dogos", Great Danes ... as if they are mixing varietal wines - to get the "perfect flavor"!

:)

Git er done !!!!!

Same .

How'd it go?

6- 12 months down the line the husky will be looking for a new home. People are stupid getting dogs for vanity reasons. You have a dog to fit your lifestyle and capabilities. And to give the dog what it needs. They are living feeling beings. Not for posing around with. Until you get fed up with them. Be sensible people, don't be one those stupid shallow people, stop dumping animals they are living beings. I managed to say this with swearing. Phew.

I cry daily following certain Facebook channels about shelters. ( We have 4 straydogs )

Could have been "backyard bred" by someone with a nice well bred mali who just trusted the word of the people who bought his puppies.

@@llallo97 Could have been. There is a kennel in one of the former Soviet block countries that's been sending dogs over to North America and now the Amish are breeding them. They are actually fairly decent looking. You just hope people put more research into buying a dog than they do buying a dishwasher...

Could have been afraid to face the breeder.

Maybe the breeder tried to help them work through their issues and the owners weren't interested.

@@skamm5012 the Amish run a large number of the puppy mills in the US. A lot of them are awful. They use animals, they don't keep them as pets.

Good point.

Yeah it’s silly to ask questions.

And 10s of thousands of dollars.

Shelters should be used to shelter dogs that were dumped. People dropping dogs at shelters and walking away guilt free is wrong. Many then go and get another dog, sometimes younger, cuter, etc. tens of thousands are dumped by owners every year. A pathetic abs callous act.

@@RobertCabralDogsYou know what's callous? Dropping off a litter of sick puppies in the jungle, which is what we are dealing with every day. At least Rocky's owners made sure he'd have a chance. Bottom line though, we agree on this: don't get a Mal (or any other breed) just because they're cool! 🤦‍♀️

Hi from Namibia

That would be an interesting mix , we have a malinios / red healer mix , talk about sassy !

In some cases that is a fine line with some higher energy /high strung dogs , In my personal experience .

dog parks are horrible... because of the owners

@@beckywatt5048 True. There are some dogs that naturally play rougher than others. It can be hard to tell

@@regenindergosse In my personal experience , watching the hackles is the best indicator .

What breed of dog is it ?
