Reminds me of a cop K9 forum comparing GSDs to Mals. GSDs were strong-willed and could be devious....Mals are fur-covered chainsaws on meth!Originally Posted by LittleLebowski
Usually one Malinois is more than enough dog for any dog ownerI remember hearing a very Malinois specific command used by Todd and thinking "I say that all of the time to my Mal." The command was "relax"
I appreciate Mals. I love ridgies. Something about a dog that climbs trees and fights lions just gives me the vapors!Usually one Malinois is more than enough dog for any dog owner

My wife has been reading a number of war dog books lately, and the training and personality of successful war dogs is fascinating. Our Vizsla, for example, has almost every quality of a great war dog except she wouldn't bite any one or anything. Seems like successful war dogs really do enjoy biting.
Here's a great example of a dog that enjoys biting, but is not aggressive -- he's very relaxed. It's all a game.

Used my lounge around gun this weekend.
Took a roadtrip to Albuquerque for Grapplefest.
Finally made it to the hotel room around 9:30pm.
Showered, put on some shorts and laid down to read on my Kindle.
Wife calls from the bathroom... "I forgot my toiletries bag in the car".
No problem.
Throw on a T-shirt and some sandals, slip the Clip-Grip'd J-frame into my waistband at 1 o'clock and my Surefire Aviator in at 10 o'clock and trot down to the parking lot of the hotel to grab her bag.
Didn't have to put back on pants, belt and holster up for a 5 minute trot to the car.
Didn't have to run down there unarmed.
It's good to have options.

Options are good.
So are Belgium Malinois. My oldest son has two puppies right now. His home is now destroyed. One of my friends had a Mal for a working dog. I was able to assist and handle him for several drug busts at my part time gig. I might well end up with one of my son's pair. Looking forward to it. Maybe.
I will admit I left my lounge around 638 at home for my current road trip. Will make do with my PM9.
Heck, I almost got a FAST coin wearing sandals.Sandals are more dangerous than being "under-gunned".

Well duh.
Freyja, at 7wk old, learned to climb up vertical baby gates or even cardboard boxes. We couldn't keep her in one place with anything less than an actual cage.
Or maybe you didn't get one because of the sandals...
Lack of traction wasn't my main malfunction.Or maybe you didn't get one because of the sandals...
