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.

September 18, 2008 - 12:29 am James - Hi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.

She is home…..

AND SHE’S DRIVING ME NUTS!   Sort of. She’s such an active girl and she wants to play, be in your lap, grab a toy, check out the noise that the refrigerator makes, etc.  She’s tried to get Nino to mate with her but my poor boy was neutered years ago and doesn’t quite know what...

Laeken sighting!

Shot at this weekend’s Raleigh, NC shows. Unfortunately I was using a very fast lens which places A LOT of blur [depth of field] on a subject that does not have flat face [ehem...like humans]. Post addition:  This pups name is ….. “Jolt” – Winjammer Electric Boogaloo.

More pics of Miss Thai

We took Thai to a local UKC conformation show for some more exposure. It was held at Colonial Downs racetrack. Very nice venue with a good turnout.  I was too lazy to remove the lead in the second photo.
