IMO, mals I know are a bit clumsy... Though they somehow have the looks of a GSD, they can't be compared to them... However Mals could be a great pet with the right training,IMO... just like any dogs
They are clumsy and graceful at the same time. Mine can leap several feet in the air and perch on a post. He can run through the house somehow avoiding my toddler and all of her toys. His feats of athletic ability are amazing! Then he turns around and runs into a wall.
This Far Side cartoon always reminded me of Malinois...
