2.0 out of 5 stars
disapointing,
By james maturana (hurstville, nsw Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Malinois (Paperback)
I ordered this book to learn more about the Malinois and instead what i got was a quick description of the breed a hand full of photos and then thats it on them.. The photos were very basic. the information was ok but went on to discuss handlers, choosing dogs, and then KNVP.. all the informaiton is basic.. it only brushes over the information. The book did not even discuss traininng techniques in details... Very disapointing book..

NOT YOUR NORMAL DOG BOOK,
By dan karas (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Malinois (Paperback)
The great thing about this book is its focus. Most dog breed books tend to look at conformation, rather than the working aspects of the breed. This book is all about the wonderful working attributes of the versitile Malinois. There is a detailed account of how to bring up a young dogs drive and make him tollerant of any situation. The author even discusses the KNPV exercises in the Dutch Police dog trial. I believe this book is perfect for anyone interested in owning/training a malinois for police work or sport.

Blah Mals,
By Carsen Ashlie (Edmonton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Malinois (Paperback)
Jan Kaldenbach's paperback book on the Belgian Malinois was anything but on the breed. The book is meant for someone interested in having an introduction to the sport of French Ring and would want to know how to go about training. However, even that information is limited. Kaldenbach has a touch and go feel to the book about the Malinois. Which means that very little information is given about the breed. The book hardly has any pictures of Malinois, and only one picture of a nice looking Malinois. Kaldenbach took an exciting, versitile dog and made the breed Ho-Hum. by lack of vital information. Not a good book for anyone wanting to learn about the breed itself or to check out what the breed is meant to look like. All through, Kaldenbach barely touches on his subject in order to cover a lot of information in a small space. However, by doing so the reader does not get to learn very much about the breed or its potential.
