del Rio kennels – home to belgian malinois bio picture

Welcome to del Rio malinois!

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.

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.

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! ...

Pictures of Brooklyn!

I’ve been a little slow with posts lately – I received these pics from Brooklyn’s momma a few weeks ago of Miss Brooklyn romping around and having herself a good ol’ Malinois time. [click to enlarge]
