The book was not very informative had mostly history of the Dog.
I thought the book was waaaaaay over priced for the content.

3 out of 5 stars Good Book   July 31, 2005

It is not a long book, but there does not seem to be a lot of information on the subject of Malinois. Overall, it is good because the author trained this breed of dog for years. He knows a great deal about the dog. The book is slightly geared towards police dogs, but you can still learn a good amount of information from this book. If you want a dog like this, even for a house pet, than read this book. You need to get a good understanding of what this dog is all about.


2 out of 5 stars disapointing   December 21, 2001

I ordered this book to learn more about the Malinois and instead what i got was a quick description of the breed a hand full of photos and then thats it on them.. The photos were very basic. the information was ok but went on to discuss handlers, choosing dogs, and then KNVP.. all the informaiton is basic.. it only brushes over the information. The book did not even discuss traininng techniques in details... Very disapointing book..


4 out of 5 stars NOT YOUR NORMAL DOG BOOK   January 11, 2000

The great thing about this book is its focus. Most dog breed books tend to look at conformation, rather than the working aspects of the breed. This book is all about the wonderful working attributes of the versitile Malinois. There is a detailed account of how to bring up a young dogs drive and make him tollerant of any situation. The author even discusses the KNPV exercises in the Dutch Police dog trial. I believe this book is perfect for anyone interested in owning/training a malinois for police work or sport.

Jan Kaldenbach's paperback book on the Belgian Malinois was anything but on the breed. The book is meant for someone interested in having an introduction to the sport of French Ring and would want to know how to go about training. However, even that information is limited. Kaldenbach has a touch and go feel to the book about the Malinois. Which means that very little information is given about the breed. The book hardly has any pictures of Malinois, and only one picture of a nice looking Malinois. Kaldenbach took an exciting, versitile dog and made the breed Ho-Hum. by lack of vital information. Not a good book for anyone wanting to learn about the breed itself or to check out what the breed is meant to look like. All through, Kaldenbach barely touches on his subject in order to cover a lot of information in a small space. However, by doing so the reader does not get to learn very much about the breed or its potential.
