What a Malinois purchase really is

Anyone typing "Belgian Malinois for sale" is shopping for a dog bred to work alongside a handler for hours. Customs, border and military teams use the breed, and the US Armed Forces and Secret Service are among the organizations Wikipedia lists as users. Those programs pair the dog with a full-time handler, a schedule and a purpose.

A household can supply all three, but only if it plans for them before the money changes hands. The five guides below follow the order in which buyers tend to run into trouble.

Three decisions to settle before you contact anyone

  1. Your daily capacity

    Write down the hours you can give to exercise and training on your worst week, not your best one.

  2. Puppy, adolescent or adult

    Each stage carries different unknowns and different workloads. The age guide lays them out side by side.

  3. How you will verify

    Decide now which records and which in-person meetings you will insist on, so excitement cannot talk you out of them.
