Belgian Malinois Information
Belgian Malinois Description:The origin of the Belgian Malinois lies in Belgium. This breed is still not very popular outside Belgium. It is one of four types of Belgian shepherd dogs, the other three being the Belgian Tervuren, Belgian Groenendael and Belgian Laekenois. In certain countries, all the four varieties are regarded as the same breed. However, in AKC as well as UKC, the four varieties are categorized as different by the type of their coat. The Belgian Malinois was the first variety to be recognized as a separate breed and was first recognized by the AKC in 1959. |
Belgian Malinois Care & Grooming:The Belgian Malinois sheds heavily twice a year and sheds little throughout the year. The coat needs to be brushed at least 2-3 times a week with a firm bristle brush to maintain a healthy looking coat. It should be bathed only when absolutely necessary and must be dried properly after each bath. Its eyes and ears need to be cleaned regularly. |
