THeres a big difference in the look.. well to me anyways lol

Malinois are more refined and slightly smaller then the Germans. They are also(i find) smarter and quicker to react. That is why the police are starting to switch from Germans to Balgians.

Hi, I've never actually posted here, only lurked, but I just wanted make a comment in regards to

It's true that many police departments are going to Malinois. A lot of this has to do with all the irresponsible breeding of German Shepherds, which has led to a variety of health problems along with problems with weak nerves. On the list of dog's intelligence, the GSD is listed as #3 and the Malinois as #22. I don't agree with this, I think the Malinois are much more intelligent than that, but I don't think they're more intelligent than German Shepherds. Definitely more intense, in general,and amazing drive. Personally, I find GSDs and Mals quite similar in appearance, except for the brindles...there's no mistaking them!

Oops, sorry, I was thinking of the Dutch Shepherd for the brindle coat. I recently saw some pics of some amazing looking brindle Dutch Shepherds, but you're correct, the Malinois doesn't come in brindle.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I've read a bit about English Shepherds and I'd love to meet one someday to see how they compare to the Border collies and Aussies I've known. Do you have pictures of those? What made you decide to breed both the ES and the Mals? (not together, obviously)

I've met a few Mals and they're very pretty.

I have a 6month old German Shep/wolf hybrid named Rocky he seems to grow more and more every day, just wanted to know how big I should expect him to get. He just weighed in at 93lbs, appreciate all responses or advice

i always thought a good breeder had a maximum of 2 litters a year,
because of the time and thought tht had to be put into every breeding and then the rearing of the pups.

how would u handle 4 litters a year like you have planned?
