Anyone here own a Belgian Malinois?

Here are some pics of my 10 month old Mal, Scout. I'd like to hear from members here who have experience with this breed and training them. Post photos of your Mal if you have one.

Man, what a strange looking dog... lazer eyes and Mick Jagger lips!

Great looking dog... careful, he's getting into his teenage yrs. He's gonna test you every day. You need to be smarter than the dog... tough task.

our k9's are all maligators.

cool dogs, my partner has one too. smart and obedient, but can be a bit hyper.

i'm a k9 agitator, and took the training in riverside, ca. the mals hit hard! harder than shephards and rotts twice as big.

Thanks for the comments. He's a family pet. Yes, he is a handful at this age and he is calming down, but trying hard to pick up new bad habits. Our current challenge is to get him to be friendly with visitors. I'm finding ways to work him more and keep him busy. Having a smart dog is a double edged sword. If you know any busywork they like please share. I'm considering Schutzhund and tracking.
