Researching for Mal Kennel - Page 1

Doing the ground work for my bud, a fellow handler in Afghanistan. Looking for a Mal, euro, green,  basic odors, protocol boxes, strong for Explosive Detection. Starting around 9 mo - 2 1/2 yrs. Any info greatly appreciated.

Also, has anyone heard of, dealt with, good or bad with Macesmalinois out of Pennsylvania?

Also, names of French breeders, (Mals) or Stateside kennels with French imports?

Thanks YR,

I thought the "phone would be ringing off the hook" but the screen was empty............... I'll check on it. Thanks again.

I'm no Mal expert but have always liked what I've seen of Ivan's dogs and would certainly talk to him if I was in the market: http://www.premierprotectiondogs.com/otvitosha.html

Thanks Keith

There is a USA military dog training program in Texas.
The best dogs and especially Malinois are coming
from Nato's program in Belgium and the Netherlands.

If I was an army sniper,... would I use the retrofitted Remington,
the army supplies me with? or would I choose the Cheytac- 408 for
my long distance shooting?....I would probably use both.
The Remington is now a 300 mag that I can shoot very well,
and will probably handle 80 %  of any shooting.....But may be
a little heavy in the ass passed 1700 yards. At least for a one
shot kill... A 408 or 416....one shot one kill, But the Remington .300
win mag is  lighter to carry up and down hills....The recoil has been
reduced on all these rifles quite a bit. But it is easier to
hit something with the .300 mag. NATO Malinois are the best
dogs for military.

Based on the training requirements you are looking for, it sounds to me more like you are looking for a broker than a Malinois kennel.  Most of the breeders in the US aren't holding back dogs to raise and train for resale.  Some do, Ivan is one, but his dogs aren't "euro" or French, he's been working with his own line for quite awhile.  With some import influence still, we all are still using some imports, but as much or more his own line.

Malndobe,

Hey, checked out your site for @ 30 mins earlier, nice! Sent all info on your kennels to my Bud in Afghanistan. I am merely the messenger, so just looking out for him. I believe when he returns towards the end of the month we're taking some road trips to check out a few dogs but Cali is pretty far. (Maryland) Maybe once I know time restraints we might fly to a couple of locations. (unknown at this time) That F @ 2 1/2 yrs looked good on your site. And the markings/face on that 8 mo  old M was good looking. 


Have a few irons in the fire but trying to collect as much info as possible. 

In 2003 NATO started testing some dogs for bomb and
battle field conditions. This dogs progeny in Belgium
did remarkably well. And they began a breeding program on him.

Also Malndobe is a very good breeder of Malinois and
she is a French Ring Judge as well. I like Ivan and Malndobe,
but if I had to choose I would pick something with
Veomar van het Groentenhof  in it from ......Malndobe.

NATO has done the best by far in training and breeding good Military
canines. They are very hard customers.
