Belgian Malinois temperament
Malinois are high-drive working dogs, alert and intense, and often need a confident, experienced handler - this isn't a breed that tolerates a hesitant approach well.
Grooming a Belgian Malinois
The short double coat sheds more than its length suggests, with real seasonal blowouts - regular de-shedding keeps the undercoat from building up despite how short the outer coat looks.
How often does a Belgian Malinois need grooming?
Every 8-12 weeks, with a de-shedding treatment during spring and fall shedding season.
Watch for matting
A Belgian Malinois's coat mats easily if brushing lapses. Severe matting typically adds $44 or more and can mean a full shave-down for your dog's comfort and safety, since careful de-matting takes real table time. See the matting guide for what each severity level looks like.
