My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Serious working-breed people only.

These puppies are the real thing: Dad is a purebred Belgian Malinois and Mom is a Malinois maybe mixed with a little bit of something else-- she's sweet, social, and can also casually clear a kitchen counter without a running start. These pups will not “grow out of” puppy behaviors-- they will grow into them. They don't call them Mal-igators for nothing!

They are smart, driven, high-octane working-breed mixes who will require structure from day one, plus ongoing training, management, and mental work for the rest of their lives. These pups are not a good match for first time dog owners, apartments, families with young kids, or anyone who wants a dog who can be tired out from walks.

Ideal homes for these pups:
>Experience with Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, GSDs, ABs, or similar high-drive working breeds

>A lifestyle that already includes training, structure, and daily mental/physical work

>A securely fenced yard

>Time every single day for engagement, not just exercise

>Interest in sports or jobs: obedience, scentwork, agility, etc.

Right now they are bold, people-oriented, busy, observant, and quick problem-solvers. These pups will excel in a home that channels their intelligence before they decide to channel it themselves.

We are only considering applicants who genuinely understand what Malinois and Malinois mixes require — and who have the lifestyle and experience to match.

Astra is especially intense and tenacious, and she needs an owner as smart as she is. These pups were born 10/17/25 and will be ready for their forever homes soon! Their adoption fee is $400 and includes worming, puppy vaccines, microchip and spay when she's old enough.
