Introduction and first post

[HargroveOutdoors]

Had one German Shepherd and vowed to never own another - his death took too big a piece of my heart. I'm intrigued by the intelligence and intensity of Belgian Malinois. I'll stick with my easy going beagles.

GSDs and Mals really suit our lifestyle and family! We absolutely adore them. We lost our Mal in December and are still recovering. It was a devastating loss.

Hi and welcome to BYC. Hook up with other BYC members nearby using the links in my signature, below. Like @sourland I have had and adore GSDs - they are much faster learners than I could ever be

Make yourself at home and enjoy the forums.

So glad you joined us at Backyard Chickens. I've been intrigued by the drive, enthusiasm and athletic ability of Belgian Malinois. Way too much dog for a very petite person who has only had Cocker Spaniels.

I can’t even describe the personality of these dogs. It’s very much an in your face, intense, attention demanding animal that is probably smarter than you with a workhorse tossed in, but so very affectionate. GSD on crack! lol Definitely the kind of dog that has to have a job or you’ll be in trouble. It works great for us because the whole family is the type that are no fun to be around if we are bored and have nothing to do!
