What is the standard of the Malinois? The standard body height of the Malinois is 61-66 cm for male dogs and 56-61 cm for female dogs. The eyes are light brown, almond-shaped, with black edges. The ears are approximately equilateral triangles, upright, and the length and width of the flat top of the head are almost the same. The teeth of the upper and lower jaws need to fit neatly together, and the coat should be short, straight and hard. Wavy coat is a fault.

1. Measured from the temples, the body height of male dogs is 61-66 cm, and that of female dogs is 56-61 cm. If the body height deviation exceeds the body height and the sacral height is lower than the body height by more than 4 cm, both will be disqualified. Body length should be equal to body height, measured from the front of the sternum to the front of the buttocks. Female dogs can be slightly longer, but square dogs are preferred. It is properly boned in proportion to its height so that the entire proportion of the dog is harmonious and is neither slender or too long nor bulky and bulky. If the Malinois is considered a medium-sized dog, then appropriate size is an important indicator when evaluating the Belgian Malinois. The standard describes a medium-sized, medium-sized dog, so a choice must be made between a very large and heavy dog ​​or a very small and light dog.

2. How to choose a purebred horse dog? It must be remembered that the horse dog has a short coat and is smaller than the Tervuren and the Belgian Shepherd Dog. Long hair gives the illusion of a larger body. In evaluating whether a dog meets the standard, within the standard range, a dog with a standing height close to the upper limit of the standard cannot be rated higher than a dog with a measured height close to the lower limit of the standard, although both are within the standard range. The eyes are brown, more like light yellowish brown, medium in size, almond-shaped in shape, not protruding; the edges of the eyes are black. The shape of the ears is approximately an equilateral triangle, strong, upright, and proportional to the size of the head. A common fault is that the ears hang down to one side of the head. The top of the head is flatter than rounded, and its length and width are nearly the same, but not broad, closer to medium. The nose is pointed but moderate to avoid a clipped appearance and approaches the top of the head in length.

The nose is parallel to the skull. Common faults include a rounded head, a rough or heavy head, and round and/or under-colored eyes. The mouth is strong and powerful; the nose is black without any other coloring; the lips are compact and black without any pink exposed.

3. The Malinois is energetic, with white teeth evenly arranged, scissor bite or pincer bite; a bite with overshot and undershot is a fault; in a bite with undershot, there are two or more A dog with too many upper incisors that cannot bite with two or more lower incisors is disqualified. Missing one or more teeth is a serious fault. Common defects are an underbite and missing teeth. The coat is quite short, straight and hard, and the dense undercoat is enough to adapt to weather changes; the coat is very short on the head, ears, and bottom of the legs; the coat on the neck is slightly longer, forming a scarf-like long trimming there. Also on the tail and back of the thighs; the coat should be consistent with the body. The coat length of your Malinois should be considered. There is no one correct coat length. Coat deviations from the standard include: a lack of undercoat and a very short coat, as in a Great Dane or Boxer; hair around the ears andThere is obvious feathery coat on the back of the forelimbs (the hair is extremely long and has fallen out of the dog's body). Wavy coat is a fault. If you want to raise a horse dog, you must strictly follow the standards to choose it, because only choosing the correct purebred horse dog will save you a lot of trouble later.
