Malinois vs German Shepherd the DIFFERENCES

Talking about some of the differences between the breeds.

My 4 month old Mal has just learned "leave it" I truly believe he resents me for it! 😂

A friend of mine once tried to stroke a police Malinois and the handler just said “I wouldn’t “

My german shepherd is a retired K-9 unit officer. He’s still alive and doing well. When I first got him he was really crazy and I didn’t think I could get along with him, but after realizing that he had a lot of anxiety. Just like I do, I learned to accept him, and love him, and now, he’s just like me. We both have anxiety and we cope together. I couldn’t imagine life without him now, and German shepherds are now my favorite dog. Love em to death❤

Huge amounts of respect for the control you have with these dogs... Love that you allow them to interact/play but also have the ability to stop anything further, even without physically separating. Enjoy these videos and watching you interact with dogs. Fantastic job

"rip bastian, you crazy bastard!"

Adore the Malinois....would never own one but I love watching these dogs in action! Truly incredible dogs.

I've had German Shepherds all my life, and currently have 4. I'd rather deal with 20 Shepherds at once than one Malinois. Not that they're a bad just not the right person for them. My shepherds are high energy, but after their morning run, they're calm. The Malinois doesn't seem to have an off I'd need zanax if I had to live with them. 😂

I've had both . I prefer German shepherd because they're 100% all around all purpose dog.
They're high energy when it's needed and big cuddle bug's also. And everything in between.

The Mali is coming on really nicely. Love her confident, dominant character. Like seeing these casual hang out type videos where you discuss a topic, so that we can see how to properly act around these high strung dogs.

We got a baby malinois - he was a rescue. Had no idea what he was till he grew up. He was literally a week or two old. They told us he would be like 15lbs 😂 he was found in a trash bin behind a PET HOSPITAL!

Anyway, he terrified me as he grew up. I was scared of my own dog for a time. We had to her a police trainer in. He ran out the door every time someone came over, DESTROYED my brand new home ate walls, baseboards, tables, carpet... I was so done. He would bring me dead triantulas as peace offerings when he was bad as a puppy 😂😭

One day, my 6month old baby was crawling out of my bathroom as he was laying near the door. (He was 1 year old at this time. The dog) I was a new mom and trying desperately to shower. I had soap in my hair running down my eyes, was about to jump out to get her and just before I did, our dog stood up, calmly laid down across the threshold of the bathroom to block her in. He always laid under her swing and crib, anywhere she was he was. That moment I knew he was our dog. We trained him and realized the exercise he needed every day to not destroy our house and we did it.

That little girl is 10 years old now and that dog is quite literally the best dog I have EVER met in my LIFE! He has been the best family dog for us. He has been an incredible guard dog, he is a fantastic judge of character, he is 11 now and still runs like a freaking puppy. He saved our boxer from a pit bull attacking her at the dog park years ago. Ran full speed from across the park the moment he realized she was in trouble. He jumped on that dog and got him off our boxer girl in the blink of an eye. I’ve never seen him so focused. His agility and athletic ability are incredible. I almost feel bad that he never got to be a military dog bc he’s just so amazing. Nothing spooks him. You can slap a whip 3” from his face and he doesn’t flinch. He’s been the best to our family and we love him so much. I’m so grateful we found him and rescued him. Best family dog I could have ever dreamed of.

After training, of course. Lol

I almost acquired one Malinois but I opted for two German Shepards instead. These dogs most definitely keep me in top shape and I’m glad I have them to keep me safe in the forest.

Was on the fence regarding both these breeds but after seeing this, I went with another GSD female pup. Obedience training, crating and house breaking have all gone well. She's smart, fun, lovable, playful, goofy at times and has that off switch most GSD owners talk about. Love her to pieces!

[fredricky]

I hate show lines. How do people even sleep at night knowing they altered a whole dog just to look pretty

[gerardcarrington]

Haz, I'm so happy that YOU personally made a video on this, there are so many videos are out there and you can tell from the word go they are bias towards their favourite breed. Such a objective discussion I really appreciate it! 👍

I am from Belgium and always have 2 mâles working dogs and it is the first time i hear sommebody how knows what he is talking about.Also the working Malinois if you want to buy him you need a very good breader and he will never sell a working dog when you are not known and proves that you can handle these dogs .The problem is the bad owners who think they can handle this dog.You also never go on holiday whithout your dogs they always stay with the handler so me and my son was only allowed to walk with the dogs alone when he was 18 years and trained since he was born.Yes my son was trained to handle these dogsso he could react in the good way.When the malinois is not dooing what i ask my reaction what did i do wrong not the dog is wrong.Just one thing we have the show malinois and the working malinois.The show malinois is much softer becouse the judge must be able to touch the dog and they can be good family dogs with the right owner and they are not so heavy duy to the standard.Most working malinois are heavier and stronger and do not match the standard weight and maximum higt.Best regards from Belgium

I can tell from the look in my mali's eye when she is at full nut level and needs to go outside and run. God, we love this dog. She is the craziest, funniest, most loving dog we've ever had.

From someone who has been working with dogs since long before the advent of the Malinois, I want to express a sincere thank you for your excellent general coverage of the difference between the Malinois and the German Shepherd.

[atxbarbie]

Being a first-time Malinois owner I don’t think I could ever own a different breed of dog… Maybe I’m neurotic LOL but I love the high energy; my client who is a disabled Air Force veteran has two German Shepherd‘s and part of my caregiving is to play with his dogs… I get bored. They play and then they’re done whereas with my male, he doesn’t stop until it’s bedtime. That’s just my preference tho.

[candidcapture]

Omg! Fresh out of abdominal surgery and layed up trying to avoid sudden pain inducing movements.... when...."gotta find the drugs...gotta find the drugs...." and I couldn't contain a deep belly laugh. Love your vids and all the information you dispense. Thank you.
