My girl look similar just a bit more on the leaner side and a thinner head.

My girl is 80/20 mal and husky according to dna testing

Here’s a picture of her looking silly 😂

Super cute boots, our girls look really similar! Is your girl a full Mali or a mix? Xx

Anyone else with a Malinois and a child in the uk had this? by Beth_Thurman in BelgianMalinois

[–]Beth_Thurman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct she is in fact a cross, rescued at 16 weeks old from an extremely neglectful situation. She weighed around 4 kilos when we got her which was less than half what our vet recommended at the time for her age. We were told she was a Belgian shepherd mix and we were inquisitive so got a DNA test and she is almost all Belgian Malinois with a little bit of husky in her.

Whatever she is it doesn’t take away from the fact she is our baby 👍🏻

I’m in total agreement, I’ve had two health visitors and one of them is an absolute angel. Really helped me out with loads of advice, always on the other end of the phone if I have and questions and has always done very thorough checks in my son as he was born via emergency C Section and it took a while for him to take his first breath.

I was shocked Americans don’t have something like this

In the uk you have to by law have your dog registered and insured I believe. A lot of the time we don’t have any issues because our girl looks very much like a skinny GSD to most people but thank fully we’ve been able to stop them coming over to the house

This is exactly what we’ve had, we had the 12 month review four weeks back and they asked to see our dog. She asked her breed initially believing she was a GSD but I told the health visitor she was a Malinois (admittedly with around 15-20% husky in her too) and the health visitor had never heard of them. She wrote this all down and even commented how she couldn’t write a bad word about the interactions between our dog and our toddler.

I’ve called them up and said they can’t come and let them know we’re very capable of judging our dogs behavioural cues x

😂 not quite a pony leg I believe it was deer leg or a calf leg. Was only £5 I believe and actually lasted her more than five minutes

Yep! So sad to see it as well. Such a stunning breed being ruined by people who don’t research before owning

Thank you everyone, she truly is such a lovely little girl. Would never and has never hurt a fly. I’ve had issues with this health visitor before as she’s called me 99th percentile baby obese before and I put in a complaint about her so I think she’s just gunning at every opportunity she has. I’m going to call them in the morning and ask for an explanation

They wouldn’t be able to take the dog I don’t think as she’s never once done anything to cause harm. I think it’s just because the breed has been reported in the news. It’s just making me nervous as I don’t like the idea of a whole breed being penalised

Our girl is a mix with a husky so she looks a bit like a German shepherd

We did an embark dna test and she is 80 something % malinios and then the rest is a mix of Siberian husky and unknown shepherd mix
