“Belgian Shepherd. The breed, also known as the Malinois,”
Just so people know, the Malinois is a “variety” of Belgian Shepherd (also called other names in other countries). The varieties are the various coats, i.e long haired black (Groenendael), short haired fawn (Mal), long haired fawn (Tervuren), etc.
Mals are smaller and have fewer health problems than GSDs in general. They’ve been bred for police work for a long time.
“They’ve been bred for police work for a long time.”
Germans have been bred for it since c.1910. They invented the concept.
