Why You’ll Love the Malinois

You’d love a working Malinois if you’re someone who values energy, drive, and a deep working partnership. These dogs are intelligent, intensely focused, and thrive when they have a purpose—whether it’s in training, competition, or day-to-day life. That powerful bond between handler and dog is what makes the Malinois so special, and it’s exactly why the American Working Malinois Association (AWMA) exists. Our mission is to preserve and promote the working heritage of the Belgian Malinois through sport, education, and responsible ownership. We believe that when you experience the dedication and heart of a working Malinois, you understand what makes this breed—and our community—so exceptional.
