Malinois VS GSD

Belgian Malinois VS German Shepherd - Who Deserves The Ultimate Military Dog Breed.
I thought that these are the right categories to compare :
Weight & Height,
Intelligence,
Strength,
Top Speed,
Cost and Maintenance.

For home protection I prefer the GSD, it's bark alone is enough to make people think twice. They have that spine chilling bark

[mikekeeler]

my dad had German Shepherds when he was in the police force probably the best dog we've ever had and we've had a lot of

[aaronchiesa]

They're both excellent choices. Both K9s have amazing capabilities that will never be fully utilized.

[desmondgreen]

I've been blessed to have been a parent of both....the Shephard is by far more a family dog.... they definitely think about what they want to Belgian is like a GSD with the energy of a need tons of space to always put it this the shepherd will chase you around the Belgian will go over the will give their life if they respect you.

Yeah I like both but my Mals have some weird shit going on like they have no fear receptors at all. I'm glad they show this so early and young makes you aware to know your surroundings before taking them anywhere.

I've had both and currently I have a shepinois (mali x gsd).

Well bred German shepherds are definitely the better option for most people as they are alot easier to deal with. The tend to be alot calmer and have an "off switch" but can switch into work mode as soon as it's required. They also tend to be less high strung and are alot more adaptive then mals and can make great companions. I should emphasise the well bred part though, there are alot of badly bred german shepherds these days that have a ton of health and behavioural issues.

Malinois are pretty strictly a working dog and need a consistent job, they do not make good pets and are not the kind of the dog that will lie around all day. For the right person they can be the perfect companion, but for 99% of people, absolutely not. They need ALOT of exercise and just walks probably isn't gonna cut it. When not exercised enough they can become destructive, mouthy, and extremely anxious. They also seem to be more prone to anxiety and biting issues then gsd.


Both breeds are extremely protective and excellent guard dogs. They do also both need high amounts of exercise but mals just need even more. They are also both super intelligent, extremely trainable breeds and are the very best dogs for working.

They're both awesome dogs. Very smart and good working dogs

[holdenworrell]

I have had both and trained both in the military and out. Personally, I'll take a Mal over a GSD no questions asked as they match my will and determination. But at the end of the day it's what fits you or your families lifestyle. My two Mals love the family and will protect them no questions asked but will only listen to me if I'm in the room. Gsd I trained for my parents, will listen to anyone who wants to give them direction and love. One large factor is their physical agility, mals are more agile and flexible, Gsd has brute force due to lack of flexibility in most.

I’ve owned both breeds for a little while now
And from my experience doing bitework with various dogs, the bite force varies for each dog. The hardest biting dog I’ve met was a KNPV line malinois. He was very solid

[shawneboy]

I own both. Shepherd is a top learner. Very strong, very family friendly. My knpv mali was sent straight from the gates of hell to spread the blood of the innocent. I would never tell anyone that isn’t experienced to even consider a mali. A nice working line gsd is more than you will ever need.

[arnavonman]

Malinois for sure. I have one from the army and i had shephard from the army. Malinois have really strong body .

my step sister got 1 of our GSD pups and named him POINT BLANK 4 years later 2 guys broke in to rob her and POINT was shot 4 times with a 9mm coincidentally at point blank r range after he was hit the 3rd time he bit the gun took a 9 in the mouth out the jaw then in and out his shoulder, POINT made a full recovery but you couldn't wear hats or even flick a lighter without getting eaten, even with me we were best buds until I walked down a flight of steps and as I opened the door to leave I put my v hat on. he jumped down 13steps and took me out at the legs, thankfully I was wearing 20eye leather boots during the attack i smacked my hat off & instantly he was my buddy again licking me I could tell he was sorry and I held him and talked calmly for a bit . rip point he lived to be 12 .I get paid to watch and walk attack guard dogs because these dogs won't even let the owners own sons into the house, I blow these bikers minds because I can approach there gsd, pits, pinchers, rots and become friends with them. in 5 minutes or less even those little vicious chihuahuas grow to like me. thank God they don't grow to be 70 plus pounds

German Shepard...I was a breeder for them. They are gorgeous. I love them. Mine now, Venus is 10 Yeats old. She likes it quiet.

Maligator 🔥🔥🔥 one of the Fenomeno breed in this planet ✌️

[mr.elliott]

I think the B.M is the ultimate military/12 dog they don't stop period unless their sleeping & probably chasing someone down in their dreams. Plus the size difference & strength makes them great at climbing vs the GSD being heavier. Family dog -GSD Devil dog that will take out an entire army - BM

[voodoosnakebite]

Both are basically the same for military ap from what I've personally seen but if you're dealing with very wet bm or very cold gs is what I've been told

[maldad]

Been in the dogsport world for 30 yrs, and I've been impressed with both breeds during that time, but in the end a Malinois will athletically run circles around the GSD. And that doesn't take into account the drive that Mal's have, second to none.

[leezvibez]

I would say they both qualify because they can be trained to do it all both breeds are strong loyal and a force to be reckoned with. With proper training these dogs are amazing at what they do.
