Product Description
Written by one of the world?s leading authorities on Belgian breeds, a renowned international judge, Dr. Robert Pollet, this Special Limited Edition dedicated to the Belgian Malinois offers an enlightening look at the history, working abilities and character of this remarkable herding dog. Few breeds boast the versatility of the Belgian Malinois: a shepherd?s dog, a working guard dog, a top competition dog, a police and military dog, a search and rescue dog, a companion, a show dog?the roles and talents of this breed are fairly limitless. For the right owners, this highly accomplished and trainable dog makes a most rewarding canine companion and performance dog. The author, a Belgian native, has been judging the Belgian Malinois for over thirty years and remains an ardent promoter of all Belgian breeds. Readers will welcome Dr. Pollet?s insightful look at the breed?s history in Europe and the United States as well as his thorough examination of the breed?s characteristics, breed standard and owning and training requirements. Additionally this volume offers reliable information for new owners seeking to purchase a well-bred Malinois puppy, illustrated with over 130 color photographs that readers will find informative and attractive. The complete care and training of the breed are discussed as well as proper management of the Malinois?s health, in an excellent chapter by veterinarian and author Dr. Lowell Ackerman.

 Must have book! February 15, 2008
If your just doing your homework before owning your first Malinois or you already own one. This is a must own book! Not to mention there are very few books avaliable on this wonderfull breed.
Great Book January 14, 2008
Very informative for those beginning with Mals. Of course you can find the information in this book all over the web, but it is a must have for your library if you own a Mal.
 Sort of generic public domain rehash September 27, 2007

This book is dull and has nothing not publicly available (with the exception of the photos of cute puppies circa mid 80's) elsewhere. Would not recommend. It says very little about understanding the breed. I have owned and trained four Mals for the police force.
Great book September 18, 2007
Finally a comprehensive book on Belgian Malinois!!! This is one of the only books I've found that isn't about all of the Dutch Shepherds, only the Malinois. I learned a lot more about the breed, enabling to understand my Malinois' behavior and drives. A must have for any one thinking about this beautiful and complicated breed!
Belgian Malinois (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Comprehensive Owner's Guide Kennel Club) March 8, 2007
Great book, very informative. I would say that this book is appropriate for dog owners, or potential owners, with beginner to intermediate experience, or just anyone who wants to learn more about the breed.
