 Belgian Shepherd Malinois history The breed of dogs Malinois has not very ancient past, since it appeared in the early 19th century, in Belgium. In fact, it's just one of four breeds related to each other: Tervuren (long wool with a black mask), Grunendal (black long wool), lakenooa (scorched, coarse wool), and raspberry (short wool with black mask). The breed appeared as a result of research by Belgian veterinarians and dog breeders. They created a club of Belgian shepherds and conducted a study, trying to find out the main features of sheepdogs living in Belgium, in its various regions. The result was the gradual creation of the standard of these four above breeds, as the vast majority of Belgian sheepdogs differed only in color and length of wool. Based on the data obtained, in 1892 Professor Adolf Royle made the first standard of the raspberry breed. By the way, around the same time dog breeders have suggested that herding dogs in Belgium are less often used for their intended purpose, simply because the number of farms is decreasing, which means that it is necessary to introduce tests on obedience, agility, and other new dog disciplines to help Belgian Shepherds to prove themselves in a different role. Many breeders over the following years began to actively breed Belgian sheepdogs, and cross them with each other to obtain new varieties, and this is how there were four main types of breed, which were decided to assign their own names. Today they are considered separate breeds. After the First World War, in the 1920s and 1930s, many serious, eminent nurseries for Belgian Shepherds were created, which helped to restore the reduced population. Today, the raspberry breed is known all over the world, thanks to its wisdom and obedience, and is even used in army units. For example, these dogs detect drugs, explosives, and perform other functions in the border forces. And not only in Belgium and other European countries, but also in the United States.

These dogs are extremely cheerful, love to play, just walk on the street, and generally spend time as actively as possible. For many centuries of its existence, Belgian Shepherds have faithfully served people, and therefore the raspberry breed cannot spend time lying on the couch. She doesn't even understand how it's possible in principle - to live in inactivity and be a happy animal. After all, his "dog happiness" Malinois receives is inactivity, inactivity, and close interaction with loved ones. Of course, if you decide to have a dog of this breed, it is unlikely that you will use it for grazing sheep or cows. Most likely, it will be a companion for the whole family, the child's best friend, a faithful companion for jogging, and of course the watchman, if you live in a private house. This means that the dog should implement its desire to serve people in contact with you and different types of activity. In this sense, training, exercise and training are good. Malinois likes to participate in all things, stick his nose everywhere, and feel like a full member of the family. Aggression, or, on the contrary, suppression of character and fear, is not unusual for these dogs. If such character traits are manifested, there are two options - either it is the fault of improper education, or it can be said, the marriage of the breed. The Malinois dog is very clever and has a quick reaction (it is believed that they exceed the speed of reaction German Shepherd). They are emotionally sensitive creatures, and therefore rudeness and beatings are unacceptable. By the way, thanks to this quality perfectly feel the mood of others and can guess the desires of the owner. Strangers are perceived without aggression but can realize themselves as a watchman and stand up for protection, although if someone else's dog or intruder retreats, Malinois will most likely not pursue him or continue the fight until the complete destruction of the enemy even against the commands of the master. Children are loved, happy to spend time with them (but to the presence of children they should be accustomed from childhood), and sometimes can slightly bite their heels. The shepherd's past is affected - in the dog's mind children are like responsible creatures, like cows or sheep, which should be monitored and driven into the room for rest. teaching The breed of malinois dogs, as a rule, always gladly perceives the process of training. For her, this is another useful and interesting activity, as well as an opportunity to realize their energy and do something with the owner. That is, from which side do not look - for the temperament of these dogs, training, especially if it is also associated with physical activity and presented with elements of the game, a wonderful occupation. Accordingly, there should be no problems. The main thing is to have enough patience, not to make the classes too boring and monotonous, as this breed cannot stand, as well as to keep a positive attitude and kindness. care The breed of dog Belgian Malinois has a short coat that needs to be combed once a week. Always make sure that your pet's ears and eyes are clean and have no deposits. Buy a dog at least once a week. Cut the claws once every 10 days. The molt occurs twice a year. Common diseases Like any other Dog breed, raspberries are prone to certain diseases, including: hip dysplasia is a hereditary disease that can occur in very active dogs such as malinois; progressive retinal atrophy; elbow dysplasia is a hereditary disease; sensitivity of anesthesia - raspberries are very sensitive to anesthesia. They have a higher than average mortality rate for anesthesia due to the ratio of their muscles and fats.
