I am so proud of our baby. The rally judge was a collie breeder and asked how old she was.  When I told her that she was only 8 months, she was super impressed.  She said that it was amazing that such a young Mal has that much focus and confidence.  It felt really good to hear the judge say that.  I know you guys are really happy with her and so are we but it makes it even better when a judge says so.  :) :) :)

Here are a couple pictures from Saturday’s performance.  We are SO proud of them!

We commit to breeding healthy dogs and guarantee this with a written contract.  Angela has signed the ABMC Breeder’s Code of Ethics and agrees to abide by it.

Puppies are raised indoors, underfoot and socialized by our families, friends and their children.  Puppies are microchipped and AKC registered before going to their new homes.  All homes will be screened.  Prospective owner will need to fill out a buyers questionnaire, and a contract must be signed prior to the puppy going home with you.

Our main interest is getting the puppy into a situation which will benefit both the family and the puppy!  We want you to be happy with your choice and will do everything we can to make that happen.  Be prepared to come pick up your puppy in person.  We will not ship puppies to people we have not met/do not know.  

This litter is co-bred with Allee Sablee Belgian Malinois of Vienna, VA, owned by Sandy (Hester) Bakewell www.alleesablee.com .  The registered name will be Allee Sablee C———- del Rio.  
 
Puppies are temperament tested by a licensed behaviorist and evaluated by a conformation expert for soundness and type, in order for the right match for the needs of puppy and new owner. This requires prospective owners to be realistic about their needs, interests and abilities. Enthusiastic people tend to overestimate their ability. This could lead to the puppy being placed in the wrong home.  This won’t work  for anyone, so the best bet is to be honest with yourself.

Puppies are raised on the Bio-Sensor program, exposed to many sights and sounds, started on crate training, car rides and listen to CD’s of fireworks, children playing, crying, traffic sounds, gunfire and more.

Malinois are intelligent, sensitive and energetic dogs.  They require exercise and an owner that is dedicated to consistent, fair and ongoing training.  You should plan on taking your puppy to positive training obedience classes and keep it up until they are mature.  You may even decide to try competitive obedience, agility, herding, SAR, tracking or one of the protection sports.  There are no limits with a Malinois!  

We will not send a puppy home with you unless we feel it is the right match for your experience and expectations.

Tammy now just needs one more point to finish her AKC championship. Since she already has her UKC championship, we can settle down and do some fun things…..like teach her to get me a beer. Images: Judge Williamson reading her stock portfolio, Tammy and Angela on the go around with Madame Judge watching, and Tammy and Angela on the down and back. Congratulations to owners Sandy Bakewell and Angela on a great win.
