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.

January 4, 2010 - 3:20 am Bobby - @Torrie, all of our dogs are used to seeing the camera from the time they were pups so when I do bring one out, its a non-event for them. I do have to guard against them jumping on me when I squat or kneel though - they think I want to play. Bobby

January 3, 2010 - 10:05 pm Torrie BRown - I love these vidoes! They are so funny. What do you think our dogs are thinking when they see the vidoe camera or digital come out? This girl looked like she knew she was being filmed. She stops her happy dance, looks right at the camera for a few, sort of lifts an eyebrow like, "Ok, I'll do it again." and off she goes. Mals are such comedians and hams.

Funny how history repeats itself?
“Ok, I had some coffee [but no toast yet] when I read a post from yesterday that started me thinking………..[yes, cue the music....but nothing from the Sound of Music]
What are those repeated subjects that send...
