Description

It is with a heavy heart that I am looking to rehome my 19-week-old male Belgian Malinois. I have had him for three weeks, having brought him home at 16 weeks old. He is an absolutely fantastic puppy with so much potential, but I have come to realise that I simply cannot dedicate the time and attention that such an intelligent, high-energy breed requires. He is an incredibly clever, obedient and food-motivated puppy who genuinely enjoys learning, training and engaging with his handler. He has already attended a couple of professional obedience lessons and has made excellent progress. Commands he currently knows: * Sit * Stay * Lay down * Middle * Out * Free (release command) * Crate * Spin He is extremely responsive, eager to please and picks up new commands remarkably quickly. For such a young dog, he already has a brilliant foundation in obedience. Temperament & Behaviour He is a lovely, playful and energetic puppy with a big personality. He gets very excited when meeting new people and is extremely interested in other dogs, often becoming overexcited because he wants to interact and play. He does display some reactivity on walks, particularly towards other dogs and larger vehicles such as vans and buses. This tends to be more noticeable in rainy weather. These are areas that will require continued training, patience and consistency. I want to be completely transparent about his behaviour so that he goes to someone who understands the breed and is willing to continue working with him. Crate Training & Grooming He is fully crate-trained, understands the command “crate” and settles very well inside it. He sleeps comfortably in his crate throughout the night and has an established bedtime routine. He is also very good when being bathed and generally tolerates grooming well, although he is not particularly fond of the hairdryer. House Training & Feeding He is house-trained and understands that he should toilet outside. However, as he is still a young puppy, he requires regular toilet breaks and may occasionally have an accident if he isn’t taken out frequently enough. He is currently hand-fed his meals following advice from his trainer. This encourages engagement, strengthens his bond with his handler and allows mealtimes to be used as an opportunity to reinforce training and obedience. For this reason, he does not currently have food bowls. Vaccinations & Microchip He has received both his first and second vaccinations and is microchipped. I have his microchip number and his registered keeper details can be updated upon rehoming. What He Comes With He will come with all his belongings, including: * Crate * Collars * Toys * Long training lead * Indoor lead * Other accessories The Home I’m Looking For Ideally, I would love him to go to someone who has experience with Belgian Malinois or other high-drive working breeds and understands the physical and mental stimulation they require. He has an excellent foundation in obedience, is extremely intelligent and genuinely enjoys working and learning. With the right guidance, consistency and commitment, I believe he has the potential to become an exceptional companion. This is not a decision I have made lightly. He is a wonderful dog, and my decision to rehome him is purely down to not having sufficient time to meet his needs. I would much rather find him the right home now, while he is still young, than keep him knowing I cannot provide the level of dedication this breed deserves. Finding him a suitable, experienced and loving home is my absolute priority. Please only enquire if you understand the needs of this breed and can offer him the time, training and attention he deserves.
