del Rio kennels – home to belgian malinois bio picture

Welcome to del Rio kennels!

The Belgian Malinois is a highly athletic, intelligient 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.

The Westminster schedule is out. Collies are at noon, Belgians are at 2pm and 3pm....

Remember when…..

Remember when… all of the herding and working breeds competed in the
working group? Group placements and BIS were rarely awarded to any of the
Belgians, and it was a BIG deal when one of our own was accorded such an
honor.
Remember when… you could go to every dog show in your region, and never
see a Belgian in...

More pics of Miss Thai

We took Thai to a local UKC conformation show for some more exposure. It was held at Colonial Downs racetrack. Very nice venue with a good turnout.  I was too lazy to remove the lead in the second photo.

What the heck? It’s a brand spankin’ new year….

get to announce that I finally...
