Derived after the Belgian city of Malines, the Belgian Malinois can trace its lineage back to the late 1800s when it was bred specifically to be a herding dog. Not only could it herd, but it could also protect, assist the police, and even act as a courier dog during the turbulent times of World War I. The breed's name is a clear reference to its birthplace, Malines.
The Belgian Malinois is one of four shipman breeds in Belgium; the others being the Belgian Sheepdog,' the Belgian Tervuren, and the Laekenois. These Belgian shepherds were selectively developed for their outstanding workability, as opposed to breeds that valued beauty.
The Belgian Malinois,' like the Groenendael, Laekenois, and Tervuren, is a breed of Belgian shipman dog that originated in Belgium. This breed had exploded in favor among martial and law administrator professionals because of its intelligence, agility,' and notable attainability.
It may have ranged in size from sensible to giant. The Belgian Malinois ordinarily has a short, thick coat that is fawn or mahogany in color with black markings on the ears and the snout.
