Guest RosieFT Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Can't embed sorry My husband just showed me this and I thought the malinois people would like to see it :-) I didn't know they came in black! http://www.perthnow.com.au/technology/science/hero-police-dogs-amazing-rescue/story-fnjwk7lb-1227372122511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denali Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Awesome! they are such cool dogs. Mal people correct me, but i thought the black comes from interbreeding the varieties of belgian shepherd. could be totally wrong! But i thought i read that somewhere Eta: RosieFT- totally OT- the cat in your siggy isnt an egyptian mau is it? Looks so much like my cats mother!

mita Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Amazing dog, Lucas! I only found out that Mals could be black when there was another story about a police dog. Thanks for that link about colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RosieFT Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Denali - afraid not, I just googled them and they look beautiful! Mishka is a silver tabby DSH I adopted as an older kitten from a vet. I had seen a beautiful British silver tabby at a cat show we went to, and wanted a cat with similar colouring, so I rang different vets around Perth asking if they had any silver kitten/cats that needed a home :-) She is a very vocal cat so i joke she has persian in her - obviously none in the way she looks! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Malinois do not come in black. The solid blacks are from interbreeding. Up in the USA there are mass farms that breed working dogs for law enforcement and military purposes and majority have no pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
