took Chief to vet Monday, he weighed 69.2 pounds at 7 1/2 months. Gonna be a big boy!!!

Friend of mine is a Tuscaloosa county sheriff. He got a malinois a couple months ago and they have been going through the police dog training. He sent me a video the other day of another dog in the program hitting him, my buddy had a bite suit on, it bruised the crap out of his arm immediately. It was impressive the power that dog had.

my wife used to catch my first Mal, Taz. She said right up front she ain't catching Chief EVER. Started him on some bite work, dang if he don't like to bite HIGH up, shoulder and such.

That was immediately after the bite

yes sir, that was a Malingator bite.

Last bite my wife ever made was in teaching Taz to apprehend out of a vehicle. I had a night hunting suspect, driver, jump out of a moving vehicle. LOL, he bounced like a ball and rolled into a ditch. I pulled right up on top of him and he tried to get up and run into the woods. I sent Taz to bite him. She was all excited and smashed into the windshield...straight line right??? LOL I had to toss her out the door to get her aligned.
My bad, lack of training on ANY possibility. So I had Mel sleeve up and sent Taz from the truck as Mel ran. Pro tip: ALWAYS keep one eye on the dog. Taz had trouble again exiting the truck and Mel kept running. You do NOT want to catch an excited Mal after she has run 100 yards to get to you. Taz launched 20 feet out and hit Mel top of shoulder(off the sleeve) Taz stayed attached as Mel did a full two flips in the air, not touching ground till she face planted on second cycle....Taz still attached to shoulder above the sleeve. No, I do not have video but it was damn impressive. Mel finally regained her feet and threw the sleeve fifty feet and stomped off to the house, declaring NO MORE DECOY WORK FOR HER.
Mel was bruised much worse than that pic and stayed mad for a week.

Gotta love a Malingator

had to take Chief to the vet today to close up a cut he got on his flank. He ran into a fence post while chasing my female Mal Luna. Dumbass. anyway, everybody ought to have a drunk Mal, took him a couple of hours for the Telezol to wear off, pretty funny looking when he is high as a kite. LOL Weighed 72 pounds at the vet btw.

I have never handled or trained a Mal that did not act like a crackhead. That’s what makes them such great working dogs

B, I have a 4 year old female Mal that is just a sweet house pet, little to no drive. But that is what I wanted her for, knew it when I got her at 18 months old.

When I was at the vets today one of the techs said they had a client couple who had a 5 year old male Mal they that were absolutely scared of, didn't have ANY kind of handle on that dog at all. Who in hell wants a dog like that, they would do good to get rid of that dog before one of them gets bit badly. A Mal with aggression issues is a ticking time bomb.

My last dog I worked was a Belgian Tervuren he was a Schz III. He was a Mal with long hair. I then worked several over seas and a Mal is hands down the go to working dog. They are definitely not for everyone, especially as a pet. Gotta have a job. It’s very rare to find one that’s chill so you should feel lucky with Luna. Looks like your Maligator has some good grips. Need to get your agitator a harder sleeve

Chief got his new Rex Specs goggles a couple days ago, he's getting used to em now.

He looks like he’s not too happy about them. He’s thinking come on dad, all my puppy friends are gonna think I look dumb having to wear these.

Now that's a dog!!! y'all's can come play with mine.

he isn't real sure about them yet, only third time he has had them on. He will get used to them.

He is finally getting faster on his obedience work. Protection training is coming along...I had a stranger walk up to him Sat and he was bouncing up and down and barking. Gotta hit that fine line between "bite your azz" and you can pet him.

That's a very fine line but I'm sure he has it in him. He's a great looking dog. Will he end up being bigger than TAZ?

he's at 74+ right now, Taz was at 65 when working. She was faster than Chief but he is pretty athletic too. Taz liked to go airborne 20 feet out and hit shoulder high. Chief runs in close and goes UP like a rocket, very hard to defend or even catch on a sleeve.
