Our local police department recently acquired their second K9, also a Belgian Malinois. Apparently, they are less expensive, slightly more alert than the Shepherd, so less expensive to train. At least that’s what the officers told us at a meeting.

Belgian Malinoit are lighter and smaller than German Shepherds, but tremendously athletic. They can jump amazing heights and distances.

They are great dogs and can be fearless. They seems a little less prone to some of the health problems of German Shepherds (hip displaysia, bloat, etc) which I would attribute to poor breeding practices but which are also the result of the size of the breed.
