Belgian Mals as service dogs? - Page 1

Anyone out there using a Mal for a service dog? I am using my Mal for that purpose. Have seen afew on tv as well. Would like to hear from others using the Mal for this type of work. Thank you!!

I have a female Malinois who is my back up Mobility Service Dog and is my Seizure Assistance dog. She is a phenomenal girl and now that she is spayed she will be working much more.

Thank you for the reply Beth. Its good to hear other people are using Mals for service work!

I don't use a service dog, but I've placed a few Malinois with people who used them as service dogs.  IMO they are very capable, as long as the temperament is solid.

My malinois was a service dog, PPD and family pet. He had a super clear head and was not sharp by any means. I honestly prefer the mal to any breed in this situation because of how hyperaware they are of everything and with a great bond to the handler they are hyperaware of the owner. There's only one other breed i'd use and thats a BRT. IMO they're just the best at anything you teach them.
