del Rio kennels – home to belgian malinois bio picture

Welcome to del Rio kennels!

The Belgian Malinois is a highly athletic, intelligent and active breed. These are traits that first drew us into the Belgian Malinois.  Once you have brought one into your life, you discover how much more there is to fall in love with.  The Malinois can bring endless joy and at times, heartache. But through out the journey with this wonderful breed, you will realize your life is much more enriched than it would have been without a "Maligator" by your side.

Bobby and Angela live in Petersburg, Virginia which is located just south of Richmond, the state capitol of Virginia. Their breeding program takes into consideration the ultimate health of the parents, the development of the litter through the first few weeks of their lives, and the training and upbringing of the Malinois once accepted into their loving homes. We stand by our puppies, not just as breeders, but as champions of the breed and friends of their new owners.

This blog will present you with the images, stories, and videos of our Malinois. At times, we will carry a story and a picture from our extended Malinois family. Feel free to contact us or comment on our site.

We spent a few tense days in and out of emergency before she was finally committed for...

We visit with Bruce, Amber and Monica [and one Westie named Spice]

Monica is the human and owner of this wonderful Malinois pair. Bruce is from the B litter and is as big of a pill as any of the other puppies we have followed up with. He resembles his daddy Socks very much and his Saxo’s earset and shape.

We visited with Baby Thai!

Or is that Thai the Terrible?
Thai has been at Camp Jo Ann and Adam for about a month. We had an opportunity to visit with her and it was just a quick hop down to Virginia Beach.
Well, she was as lively and rambunctious as I remember.  She was jumping, play bowing, running, tugging, etc. the...
