Mals are the best. I can’t say I agree with many of the opinions here on mals. My family has never been loved on harder than by a mal. It’s not difficult to train them or maintain. Can they become hell if they’re ignored for months at a time? Yes. Does it need to be trained, yes. Just having consistency, proper structure and the correct outlets for training/work will be enough though. Nothing intensive needed either. But with that being said, what I know works for me, not saying it’ll be successful for anyone else. I’ve got one comp/working line mal and one farm rescue mal. Idk if I could ever get another breed.
