Belgian Malinois are perfect family protection dogs.
Named after the Belgian city of Malines, the Belgian Malinois is one of four varieties of Belgian sheepdog and is instantly recognisable by its short fawn coat and black mask. This medium-sized, athletic breed combines exceptional intelligence with tireless drive and stamina, and is renowned for its speed and agility. Originally developed in the late 1800s as a herding dog, the Malinois quickly proved its worth in protection work, and remains the breed of choice for police, military and specialist security units around the world.
