Belgian Malinois
Belgian shepherd breed
A Belgian Malinois is a breed of herding dog resembling a German Shepherd but leaner and lighter, with a short fawn coat and black mask.
Originally bred for livestock work in Belgium, Malinois are now prized by police and military for their intelligence, trainability, and drive.
They require extensive exercise and mental stimulation: A bored Malinois will destroy your house.
