Description

My family is selling our Belgian Malinois puppy of 5 months. As he's getting older we're realizing he has a lot of energy and needs a home where he can run around, play and just have more space in general. We live in a mobile home, we're a family of 4 and also have another dog so it's not fair for both the dogs especially the malinois, Phoenix, to be in a small space. When we first got him we were told he was a German shepard but as he got older he started to seem like a different breed. At the vet, they believe he was a malinois so that's where we realized he needs a better home as ours isnt "big" enough for him, he deserves better space. He behaves pretty good with dogs and people. He does good with kids as well, he does get a little too excited with them where he wants to jump on them. We haven't had him for a long amount either and when we got him he wasn't potty trained. He still isnt, we've tried training him but he's stubborn. An actual dog trainer can maybe help. We've been trying to find one but some locations are expensive. When left alone at home with no supervision, he does do a mess but we don't know who exactly does it. Whether it's Phoenix or our other puppy. Putting him in a cage can help tho. Those are the only issues of him, being along with no supervision and not being potty trained. When hes being watched he does pretty good. He just walks around, play with his toys or our other dog, sleep, or just relax on his bed. He's not much trouble. He can get a little impatient when waiting to get his food but as long as you tell him to sit once or a couple of times he will listen. He is a good buddy, but we want him to be in a better home so if selling him is the only option, that is fine as long as he goes to a good and loving home. He has all his vaccines up to date. He only needs to get neutered, we were going to do the appointment the last time we were at the vet but they told us he has to be 6 months. Other than that hes perfectly fine. We're located in louisville, Kentucky so if your interested in Phoenix you would have to pick him up here at our home -brown and black coat -brown eyes -loves to eat -affectionate -loves to sleep -friendly -funny -energetic -calm -quiet

Pros

The US military and Secret Service's preferred working dog — arguably the most capable dog breed alive for detection, protection, and patrol work

Extraordinary trainability for experienced handlers — the Malinois's drive and intelligence create a uniquely powerful human-dog partnership

Athletic and agile in a medium package — lighter and faster than the German Shepherd with equivalent work capacity

Belgian Sheepdog Club of America maintains active CHIC health testing requirements

Cons

Not suitable for first-time owners under any circumstances — this is a working dog that will develop serious behavioral problems without adequate leadership and activity

Drive is constant and high — a Malinois in an under-stimulated environment creates its own destructive "jobs"

The breed's growing popularity has produced poorly bred lines in the US civilian market; finding working-line breeders with health testing requires research

Dog aggression in working lines requires active management
