Excellent Article! You should submit this to National Geographic, makers of “Alpha Dogs” that is now on TV every day. I have emailed them multipple times asking them to add a warning to the beginning and end of each episode… that these types of dogs can be dangerous in the wrong hands,,,not one response back! Thank you for this article… it is dead on correct!

To all qualified trainers and handlers: with all the above cautions in mind, military dogs face danger of abandonment overseas when their handlers are transferred from the theater back to the US or other assignment.

For example, this notice was posted February 2012:
“G.R.A.C.E. Animal Rescue (El Segundo, CA) have been made aware that 10 Malinois ‘soldiers’ are going to be retired and left overseas. Their handlers are heartbroken over it. The cost to send them back is too great for the military to warrant the spending for “just a dog”… or ten.

A bill has been passed to help correct this situation, but the military does not provide financial support for transporting dogs stateside. This article appeared in The Bark magazine, July 2012.

For the cost of transport, a qualified trainer/handler may be able to acquire an ex-military dog fully purpose-trained for protection, search and detection work.

I totally agree with this article. Malinois are a very strong, high driven dog that NEEDS tons of work to do. I worked with them when I was a Law Enforcement Officer and learned about them before I purchased my first one. I am on my 2nd Malinois, and he is currently being trained to be my Service Dog. He knows when I am not right and calms me when I have PTSD attacks. He knows it’s “Work Time” when his harness goes on and is ALWAYS alert and ready to go. He can be a lap dog at times, but, it doesn’t last long! LOL! Incredibly obedient and very expressive. This breed is NOT a dog for just anyone. People who think Malinois are “cute, handsome, beautiful, etc..” should read all abut the breed standards and pro’s and con’s of this dog before ever getting one. For those who own them, they KNOW what the breed is capable of!! I absolutely LOVE my “Zorro” and can’t imagine life with out him.

I do find this article very good reading
But I don’t totly agree with it , I’ve had Malinios got over 15 years . My guys are wonderful companions and get along great with all the other fur/ furless pets . I do agree that Malinios are not for just anyone .
