Welcome to Love Belgian Malinois

Love Belgian Malinois officially began in 2021 when we brought our first Malinois pup home. For 15 years, we had bred and raised other dogs. Like many people we learned of this amazing breed through television, movies and the Internet. We started doing our research and decided to take the leap, diving headfirst into this phenomenal canine. From day one, Shadow amazed us. The speed at which she learned and her enthusiasm to play started the fire that has quickly consumed our lives! Zeke joined our family the following year and we have never looked back! We are passionate about the breed and their abilities and want to share their remarkable talents with others.

However, these dogs aren't for everyone! You can see that our dogs are part of the family, and we want your Malinois to be an equally valued member of yours. Each puppy application is reviewed for suitability prior to acceptance in our reservation list. Our application is detailed, but we want you and your Malinois to be successful in your home. Please read through our training page and review our reservation requirements if you are interested in a puppy from Love Belgian Malinois. Feel free to contact us with any questions!

About belgian malinois

    The Belgian Malinois (MAL-in-wah), Mal, or Mali, was first bred around the city of Malines in the northwestern region of Belgium.

    In some countries, the Malinois is classified together with the Tervuren, Laekenois, and Belgian Shepherd (aka Groenendael) as a single breed collectively known as the Belgian Sheepdog, prized for their remarkable herding abilities. In America, the Malinois has been registered as a separate breed since 1959. More
