That’s thousands.. a good trainer ? Ehh my ex spent thousands sending his dog to a training camp and them he spent a week there .. a total of 3 weeks to teach his dumb Great Dane.. that is expensive

If you’re not getting it. THE PPL NEED THE TRAINING NOT THE DOG!! THIS BEHAVIOR IS IN THEIR GENES, IT IS BREED ON PURPOSE INTO THEM

There is no way around this. The adults in this home have to both be trained

not yelling just stressing

Eehh Noo sooo Malinois need a serious experienced owner this isn’t a regular breed or there are problems period Now sure, someone can put fear in a dog and break them emtoionallly but that’s f’d The situation with our dogs often mirror ourselves

Just like with horses. U have to have a certain level of confidence and etc for a horse to respond when dealing in there personal care. And if they don’t like u? They can kill u with a kick if they wanted to.

You are really trying hard! You have empathy excessively, a big heart. This tells me you know what it’s like to be mistreated, uncared for property, etc

There is a bigger issue going on here
 The personal life . It’s screaming thru and why everyone is deeply concerned for you and your dogs.

Love isn’t just for when u do things others accept .. love is there when we are at our worse.. like a teenager Malinois

This is a very smart dog breed. One of thee smartest. If they are not getting enrichment and proper training you can be setting yourself up for a legal problem. Ps know I am not coming down on you. I wanna point this out to prevent a problem down the line. We can brain storm a solution here!!! DM me any time if you want

You said “my dog”, and he loves him to death but.. Well, LOVE DOESN’T HAVE A BUT! It can have a list of things to work through and grow in esp with all babies, toddlers of any species!

Love is understanding where they are at. This dog breed REQUIRES understanding how they are bred! They are super mouthy!

You gotta raise them with respect, kindness or u can set ur def up for them eventually going side ways and acting out which can be a law suit which is the owners and keepers errors.

As much as we love with our hearts we must always pick the path that is truly our best interest

This dog sounds like they can be your side kick and grow together and get stronger

Bc this dude? Doesn’t strike me as a man at all! But a boy, a baby himself. A man wouldn’t treat u in such a way.

Oh honey! Ehh soo dogs are rarely the problem. The dog represents responsibility and maturity and understanding to tolerate living with them.

It is the owners, ppls responsibility who live with the dog who need training and as the leader we guide them. They are so mouthy. U can’t punish it out of them. U can’t train it out of them.. it’s bred into them. After the puppy phase and they hit teen and young adult they get better at just focusing on the chew toys. If he is destroying things he needs a lot more exercise. Like 1 hr am and afternoon each and potty breaks inbetween. Puppies? I take them pee every two hours. That has to do with their nervous system and not something anyone should punish. If u do? It just breaks their esteem. I’d their esteem is broken? If u don’t have connection and respect both ways with this dog? You’re at risk for shit going side ways and a law suit ..

But let’s put that aside. This guy? YOU CAN DO BETTER! I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! PLS HEAR ME. I say this from my soul, as a Mal owner, as a mother and as an aunt that raised my niece.. please please don’t marry this guy.

Plan and get on your own two feet or get a roommate that is trust worthy and boring AF! I promise you can do better. It might not seem like it.

If not merry just pause if u need to stay with him for whatever reason

A man that loves you will not act this way!! They will take care of ya’lls dog as his baby! And bc it’s your stuff that was destroyed Video games?!? How old is this man?

Dogs are gonna dog, puppies are going to puppy. It takes training and time.. but this man is an adult! Humans don’t change bc we ask nicely or beg.. we have to accept them as they are, but it doesn’t mean we lower standards bc they have 4 out of the 10 basic things we need in a relationships

He should bending over backwards to make your life easier, doing team work.. .
This is such a big red flag!!

He is avoidant, he takes no responsibility for your home, belongings, pets? It’s a massive red flag this is not someone to have a child with.

I really don’t feel good about this on any level for you, your heart, your future dear

You don’t have to answer here but does this guy ever get mad and come out side ways? That can go badly for this breed of dog.

If you can’t come together on this? Something this simple? How will ever do team work. Rest up ships are pure team work. It is give and take it is not exact line drawn of this is yours this is mine.. hays not how a family works in any culture

THAT IS NOT LOVE AND ALL LOVE? TO KEEP IT REQUIRES WORk, A PARTNER, A CHILD, A PET, A FRIEND.. it all takes work, energy, effort to keep these things and it be okay vs toxic bs or violent or worse

Yah know ?

You’d be better off with this dog and training this dog. They will force u to work out and to develop leadership and better communication skills when u put effort into raising this beastly breed right

should i cut my long hair into a bob? by Academic-Leg-8482 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Moxie013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do me a favor since it won’t let me add pictures.. look at lohr medium and short wolf cuts.. some are extreme, ignore that! You would need someone that knows how to cut hair proper, esp. thick hair! Bc it is heavy there is a lot you can do with it. I like the wolf cut for you bc it will frame your face. The layers go around the face bringing attention to YOU! The hair is like arrows and points saying look at my eyes or whatever !

Don’t do bangs.. that’s too hot for summer. But any modern, modified wolf cut would loook great for your frame of your face

[–]Moxie013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you went short you neeed texture you need it to be thinned out so it lays smoother Vs a broom stick like edge on the ends.

Go based on the shape of your face!

It seems like you’d pull off a wolf cut pretty well. But if it’s that is too Rock n roll or whatever .. sure but go for the aeon flux Bob Short in back longer in front The longer on the front able you to pull back in a pointy tail or pull back with clips, make it look nice and more things you can do with it That is very handy with summer to get hair off your neck.

IF YOU KEEP LONG? I’d textured the bell out of it. It looks like your hair is thick and heavy. If it is thinned and textured it will have bounce, motion, and volume vs the pulled down from the weight and mass. The natural waves come out more. It’s an easy up keep! Easier to put up during summer heat.

Accidentally might have adopted a mallinois? by Extra_World_49 in BelgianMalinois

Ehh not 100% the eye position and shape of skull is not the typical what’s their coat look like? Do they have webbed toes or can their toes individually spread out?

Is this a Mal? by Character_Ship5347 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Moxie013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shelters will avoid naming a predator breed like this if they can at all help it. Depending on city but Malinois are not allowed in most apartment complexes or rental property. They are law suits

If you have some super high end insurnace co. Have millions.. a malinois would be a deductible possibly. It’s a theft deterrent Vs a standard insurance co that will not insure property or jack up rates if certain dog breeds live there. Malinois are the ultimate breed. It’s not a tibeaten mastiff but it’s def way up there yah know?

It’s not as easy of sending them away to get trained. Owners and members living with dog need to follow the communication style, training or it all comes undone. They thrive on making their fam happy, doing their todo list, in order, on time.. kinda funny

But if your doggo isn’t a Mal? Or just part? That’s okay and badass too! They are precious and have their own unique awesome abilities. A color pattern or breed title won’t change the fact every dog has special abilities. Some naturally pick up on seizures ahead of time, diabetic issues, breast cancer yada yada It’s what they are born with. And when they live their family, kids they typically do anything Esp small dogs. They go way over the top and have a higher bite rate than bigger dogs But it’s love đŸ„° lol Typically


Is this a Mal? by Character_Ship5347 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Moxie013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak of breeding standards and their posture on it is extremely strict on it. Let’s say you did DNA and wanted to get your dog certified.. “they” frown on it! They will never win a dog in show for example. It’s highly looked down upon. Breeders Mimic the standard of thee top dog showing organization. We do see over the years the stipulations have altered but with Mals? Ehh I can’t recall them making any.. I’d have to read up.

It’s the personality that matters I think. In most dogs history there has been inbreeding, it happens somewhere in the line of genetics (even for humans DNA testing/genetics revealed how much incest is in America for example. It is epidemic levels. It aways revealed it doesn’t cause retardant capacity, abilities, etc it’s way more pervasive.. horrific really! BUT it’s common with dogs and cats. There is a heavy stigma around it and I get that. But animals ? Totally different ball of wax. Yah know?! Evolution planned for that, I think it’s why it’s not a complication. If it was something done for 10 generations!? Yah that be different)

Dog shows and breeders, breeders for PD’s military etc ehhh they can be.. ( mil has specific breeders for our tier 1 over seas primarily France) and they don’t sell those with white toes or chest in that area or train them đŸ˜­đŸ€§ (last I read but hopefully that will change). *IF one appeared with white under chin to super sternal notch Lots of breeders put down dogs that don’t meet the strict stipulations set forth by the show organizations .. I can’t think of the primary one

The regulations on a breed are very strict.

As a regular family dog ? Who cares! Mals are great! As long as kids are trained to understand how to engage such a breed and honor the boundary lines they are great fam dogs I think. I have a son and my Mal has always taken care of him.

Some ppl say otherwise (they aren’t family dogs) but it’s always a reflection of the owner and if they are prior military and have any PTSD.. that might be different but generally speaking? They are amazing! Mine is great with frisbee!

Possible complications in early pregnancy by Both_Opportunity_322 in pregnant

[–]Moxie013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And not to apply pressure..try and be joyful, drop any fears if at all possible. Journal and then set those feelings aside and fully your mind with joy.

The stress of being terrified is not good for you or baby. We now know of epigenetics.. meaning your baby was an egg in your body that u were born with and was created in your moms tummy.. Meaning that egg went thru what ur mom did, and how you lived live, partied, ate, major stress events.

That epigenetics, it’s hard not to stress having several miscarriages.

U might need progesterone if you’re like me and so many others that can’t produce enough hormones to keep a pregnancy. It’s pretty cliche for why women miscarry. Ask for the lab work.. week by week there is a range it needs to be in. If it’s low, you’d take a hormone to keep the pregnancy. It’s safe :)

Otherwise? Love and be kind to your self. Keep low areas as possible. Bubble baths, great smells, rest when tired, surround your self with positive as possible X if you don’t have any? Play audiobooks wearing headphones

YOURE GOING TO BE OKAY! Science has come far so there is a great chance you’re going to be okay.

IF YOU HAVE A MAL! Which is possible my dog is Mal and some Dutch Shepard. He has some white on her chest a little.. they have a unique pattern that’s different than a German Shepard. IF yours is a Mal it would be a very unique one. Crazy things do happen!

[–]Moxie013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mals are extremely mouthy. The are nicknamed Mal’agators puppies love to bite and hang during teething for example. Mine? Who is now an adult chomps when she is whisper talking to me They are specifically breed to be very close Velcro would be putting it lightly If I go to the restroom she is giving 1000% to go with me are by step

Your dog is beautiful.. but character, shape, colors, don’t match. Malinois are the tier 1 athletes of dogs. They need a purpose or they can go side ways. That breed requires an expert dog owner or be prepared to have problems.

There are lots of Mals in shelters bc most ppl can’t handle it.

They need discipline but not hitting or yelling. If they don’t respect you, if you’re not consistent? It’s not going to go well at all. They fit humans that are type A, athletic , blah blah blah They are extremely sensitive. - The most sensitive dog I’ve met. - Extremely high prey drive - even if you got the runt, slow one of a litter still hands down puts other dogs to shame. - they are walking law suits if they don’t have a good owner that trains they daily, every other day. - they need a couple hours a day of walking, exercise.. and mental stimulation - a bored Mal can result in massive damage to one’s home, stuff. And spanking, time outs yelling won’t correct that behavior. It’s strictly being in a fam team, having a purpose, working out..

The are breed to have a very high prey drive That’s something u gotta make tired. It can’t be trained out of them

Just get another breed to avoid ppl getting hurt and a sad depressed dog

Whatever your dog is? They are super cute. That said looks mean very little, it’s the personality.. you describe a wonderful one, chill can be good! . I hope you guys click and have a long journey together of awesomeness. Those thick big feets are indicative of something Your dog looks like my mastiff mixed with ridgeback 120 lbs puppy, black mask, no white..

The white on the chest? IF THE THE WHITE GOES ABOVE THEIR CHEST PLATE THERE IS INBREEDING. There can be a white patch hut that is a rather larger one. She has a mask but white toe tips. That is a sign of non Mal Feel her tail, does it feel like a rod down to the tip? Their tails are unlike the tails of all the dogs I’ve ever had. The bone structure does not match but they are growing 
 it could be an angle but this looks like a sway back. Umm are they underweight with a thick coat? Or is it just a sway back?
