is she normal?..... - Page 2

I agree with the other posters who said this is the wrong dog for you.  Maturity and training will help some with the energy and jumping, snapping, etc behaviors but you have to be willing to put in a lot of time training, and she will still be a high drive energetic dog at the end, just with better manners. 

This isn't a bad age to find her a new home, she's still young which will make it easier.  Be careful where you send her though, so the cycle doesn't just repeat itself, she's already on her second home because of being "to much".  You might contact ABMC Rescue and ask if they can help you find her a new home, they can help "vet" the homes to make sure its someone who can handle a Malinois, make sure she gets into a home prepared for her.  Becareful about just giving her away though, or she may just wind up with someone looking to make a buck off her, there is a new trend with people looking for cheap Malinois to "flip", I see them finding free or cheap dogs, and 2 weeks later the same dog is being posted for sale for 2000+ on some website, sometimes this site.

Where are you located?  There might be someone in your area who can evaluate her and help you find a suitable home.

Jemi,she sounds like a VERY NORMAL MALINOIS! With that said, get the paperwork from your relative, and find her a WORKING HOME NOW! What I mean by this is a home that the dog can work i.e. search and rescue, police dept., schutzhund trainer and so on. If I had room and the paperwork was normal, I would take her, she is beautiful! 

Ok guys,......I talked to my cousin's father, a vet who bred her.  He said that she was bred specifically as a guard dog and her parents are extremely teritorial and very alert, because he sells guard dogs for security and police work and said they are trainable.  So we will find someone to teach her some manners.....When we had some construction at our place we put her in a temporary cage and sometimes leash for about 2 weeks but still walks her an hour a day.  She acts crazy most of the time, standing on two feet looking around if she notices something.  and she will start barking and running around furiously banging her body against her cage's side walls, step in reverse and will dart forward with all her force, very disturbing sight as if she will break her neck and all the bones in her body.  She's not even 7 months at that time.....Ah, before I forget, I am in the Philippines.

My uncle said, he dropped her from his breeding program because she is too light colored for him and he prefers the reddish in color as his standard.

here's one more

So your cousin or your uncle dumped their reject on you.  How sad for the dog and terrible for you.  You wanted a small gentle cuddly dog and you are frustrated with this active malinois puppy.  Your cousin and your uncle are very very irresponsible.  Is your uncle really a veterinarian?  Your uncle does not sound like a good breeder (if this is really a true story).  A good breeder would be concerned about finding the right home for one of his dogs.
 
There are people in the Phillipines who breed very nice malinois and are very active in Mondio Ring sport.  Please contact someone and get some help finding a good home for your pup.  It sounds like your uncle does not want to help you.

Here is the Mondio Ring website.

Donate the dog to a police officer or something or a nearby schutzhund club.  Your going to make that dog banana nuts crazy on that chain on top of allowing the dog to punk you out.

Very wrong dog for you.

asomich....I don't really think that this puppy is a reject.  Just their preference to the color.  If they prefer the light color and gave me the reddish ones instead, I will not consider it a reject either.  Or else, all the darker malinois breeders will think that the lighter malinois breeders have nothing but rejects and vice versa.  Maybe if she is sickly and a runt, she is a reject in the truest sense.   My uncle is a good and  quiet person, I can say that because they have a happy family and can be seen in their way of life, and yes he is a vet. 

I can only assume that they gave her away thinking that she will be given some little training to be a house member and do some tricks like fetch and a guard dog to protect, and it is a very common practice in the Philippines.  Dogs are to guard the property. 
 
I only ask this site because this is my or our first time with this kind of dog, and it shocked us.  We did not know that this kind of dog have endless energy.  Anyway, most of the advice here are sensible.  To give her some exercise, introduce her socially, some training and etc...and I appreciate that and we'll give her a chance to channel her energy into something else.

She was on chain for only two weeks due to the ongoing construction at our place a month ago, because she might stray in the streets or somewhere and hurt herself.

In your uncle's mind, this dog is a "reject" for what he wants to breed because of her color.  He "dumped" this dog on you instead of finding it a working home (if it is working quality) or a suitable guard/active pet home.  He took advantage of you not knowing much about this breed - probably, because if you knew, you would not have taken the pup.  You need to ask yourself:  Why is he not helping me with this dog?  Why am I having to get information from strangers in a foreign country?  

  
The best thing is to find a home for this dog with people who want this kind of dog.  Remember, you said you did not want this kind of dog.  You are complaining about things that are normal for this breed of dog.  Do not try to keep this dog out of respect for your uncle or to prove him wrong.  You asked for experienced people's advice.  Now do what is best for both you and the dog.
 
I'm done with this topic.  Thanks.
