Adopting a Protection Dog
Overview
Mackie's Blog:
My friend, a professional dog trainer, has offered me his 5-year-old Belgian Malinois for adoption. This dog, expertly trained in protection, can guard, bite and release on command, and perform other specialized tasks. He even won third place in a Level 1 protection competition. Currently, I have two female Labradors, aged one year and nine months, both obedience-trained and not spayed.
I’m considering adopting this dog and feel confident about my ability to care for him. But will he bond with me after five years with my friend? My friend believes he can transfer his dog's loyalty to me. Despite being fierce in competitions, the Malinois is calm outside the ring. My friend often takes him around off-leash. He’s looking to adopt a younger dog, which is why he's offering me this one.
Should I accept?

Advice for Mackie
Yes, the dog can build a loyal bond with you. However, consider these crucial factors before making your decision:
1. Handling a Belgian Malinois: This breed, particularly trained for protection and bite work, demands significant effort from you. You’ll need personalized training to manage and integrate this dog into your life. Think of it like driving a high-performance car?"it's not just about knowing how to drive but mastering the skills to handle its power. A Belgian Malinois is like a turbocharged Ferrari!
2. High Drive and Exercise Needs: This breed requires immense amounts of exercise and mental stimulation. Adopting this dog is a major commitment, so be sure you're prepared for the responsibility.
If you commit and succeed, you'll gain an extraordinary companion. The Belgian Malinois is a remarkable and healthy working dog, the pinnacle of canine abilities.
Though I've always admired this type of dog, my current lifestyle doesn’t allow for the level of dedication required.
P.S.: Ensure the Malinois isn’t aggressive towards other dogs before taking ownership.
That's all for now!
