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.

We expect active, beautiful, athletic and high drive puppies suitable for both performance and conformation. These lines are slow-maturing and long-lived, and will need owners who appreciate and will nurture and train them as they grow up. In return, they will be loving & protective members of your family for a very long time!

Socks is a grand gentlemen, beautiful, square and with the most awesome earset that he passes onto his babies. Socks will be 13 in April, 2007 and is still very active, protecting Sandy’s home and recently gaining his CGC! As if that weren’t enough, he also got his first Rally Novice legs.

Socks has a stable and outgoing, confident character, and is good with both male and female dogs. His beautiful form has been recognized by the best of Belgian judges and he has been Best Veteran in Specialty. His breeding includes some of the most precious of European bloodlines.

AKC & UKC CH Tango with Balderlo du Baiser Orageux “Tammy”

Tammy is a wonderful girl with a sparkling personality and high toy drive. To say she is ball-obsessed is an understatement. She will retrieve for you all day long. She’s incredibly athletic and her movement is lovely to watch. Tammy loves to tug and strikes very hard with a full mouth grip. She loves to play with the other dogs, both male & female, and catches a Frisbee too!

She is outgoing with a happy, tail-wagging grin for everyone, children included (who may get gentle kisses if they are lucky). She is protective of her home and yard. Her pedigree is a lovely mix of old Belgian and proven French lines. Tammy has 9 points AKC with one major and is a UKC Champion. Her obedience is very motivated and she will begin training in agility once her puppies are weaned, along with finishing her AKC championship.
