Welcome to del Rio malinois!

*PUPPY CAM IS NOW LIVE - Click to Enjoy*

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 throughout the journey with this wonderful breed, you will realize your life is so much more enriched than it would have been without a "Maligator" by your side.

Bobby and Angela live in Frederick County near Winchester, Virginia which is located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia, about an hour west of Washington, DC.

Their breeding program takes into consideration temperment and character, first and foremost, as well as the physical health of the parents.  The utmost concern is spent on development of the litter through the first few weeks of their lives, and 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.

Kudos to Brooklyn in Illinois!

So this afternoon Miss Brooklyn ran in her first CPE trial.  We ran the standard course and jumped 16 inches.  Not only did she run perfectly, she had the best course time by more than 25 seconds at 30.07 seconds.  So we got a 1st place ribbon at her 1st run at her 1st trial! ...

Arco of Columbus

We’re in Georgia this weekend and we took a short trip down to Columbus, GA to visit Arco.  Arco is one of the pups from the del Rio Kennels C Litter.  As a pup, he was in a gang fight that took the tip of his ear.  Even with the slight ear-ectomy, he’s a beautiful...

Pasha in Charlottesville, VA

We took Vesper to the Charlottesville, VA show for socialization. Although she won two majors the weekend prior, we believe that the more socialization she can experience, the better!  While we were there, we ran into Miss Kathy.  Kathy has been the temperament evaluator for our last two litters.  She meets them for the first...

A good weekend by all accounts

We had a very good weekend.  Miss Vesper Lynd, Bond’s first girl, took two majors this weekend.  We over the hump and the Vesper’s show career has just started.  We are not silly enough to believe this will continue to be the way – given how shows go, we might not get another point for...

Vesper Goes a-Herding….sort of

We took the Mali girls herding today.  Thai was stellar in her training time, Tammy sort of had inklings in her first meeting with sheep and Vesper just looked pretty.  We met up with Sebastian [Tribal Malinois] and his owner Sara, as well as Steve and Meagen.  Steve and Meagen are interested in a Malinois...

May 18, 2010 - 10:15 pm Torrie Brown - Wow! If you didn't know the lead dog was a Mal and the trail was a Terv, you might think it was a longer haired Mal. The genetics of the Belgians blow me away!

The C Litter Turns Six Months

The little monkeys from the C Litter will be six months old tomorrow. We took VP [short for VesPer] out to Petsmart but before we did, I caught her in a short video clip with a phone in her mouth. She’s very much the talkative pup!

Five Months of Vesper….vexing, just vexing

Baby Belgian Malinois Vesper was able to go to another show yesterday for socialization.  Before we left, we were able to get some shots of her being herself….fat sausage like.
