Written by one of the world’s leading authorities on Belgian breeds, a renowned international judge, Dr. Robert Pollet, this Special Limited Edition dedicated to the Belgian Malinois offers an enlightening look at the history, working abilities and character of this remarkable herding dog. Few breeds boast the versatility of the Belgian Malinois: a shepherd’s dog, a working guard dog, a top competition dog, a police and military dog, a search and rescue dog, a companion, a show dog…the roles and talents of this breed are fairly limitless. For the right owners, this highly accomplished and trainable dog makes a most rewarding canine companion and performance dog. The author, a Belgian native, has been judging the Belgian Malinois for over thirty years and remains an ardent promoter of all Belgian breeds. Readers will welcome Dr. Pollet’s insightful look at the breed’s history in Europe and the United States as well as his thorough examination of the breed’s characteristics, breed standard and owning and training requirements. Additionally this volume offers reliable information for new owners seeking to purchase a well-bred Malinois puppy, illustrated with over 130 color photographs that readers will find informative and attractive. The complete care and training of the breed are discussed as well as proper management of the Malinois’s health, in an excellent chapter by veterinarian and author Dr. Lowell Ackerman.

Explicit and thorough information about the Belgian Malinois,
By Artemis Doglover (Alamogordo, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Belgian Malinois (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
This book offers thorough and understandable information about the Belgian Malinois from puppyhood to old age. Including training possibilities and handling advice. Even though it is obvious that the writer loves this breed all the advantages and disadvantages of being the owner of a "mali" are listed and future owners should definitely read this book.

This review is from: Belgian Malinois (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
This series of books is a great resource when you want to learn about specific breeds of dogs. Unlike most breed books that concentrate on only the good, this series explain the good and the bad, who should and who shouldn't get involved with the breed ect.. We also purchased the book on Finnish Spitz and it is just as informative as the Belgian Malinois book. I would definitely recommend this book, or any of the series, to someone who is interested in a specific breed!
