Kavik Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can the " not mals" compete in IPO? Yes. Actually I think any breed can now compete? But all the BSDs were always eligible to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Midniara~ Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Is it right to say then Mid, that the breed has the same temperament? Not necessarily. Obviously you'll get different temperaments across the board but the Malnois (especially those from working line) are a great deal more active than the rest. They are used a great deal for defence/protection work but not just because of their temperament but because their coats are low maintenance. They simply do not need anywhere near the amount of work as the other three varieties. I've rescued a few Mals but only one working line amongst them all so my experience is limited with that variety. So I'd welcome anyone who has a Malinois to answer this question for me. :) I do have a Groenendael (black, long coat) bitch that can run circles around all the Malinois that I've had here and at almost ten she's not showing any signs of slowing down. My other Groenendaels though do have an off switch and will chill and relax with you for as often as you like.
