“Belgian Malinois are the breed of choice for military and police K9 units worldwide. They're bred to work in any conditions — but that work drive creates a dangerous heat paradox.”
“Malinois are prone to exercise-induced collapse in extreme heat. Their relentless drive means they won't stop working even when their body is overheating. Handlers must enforce mandatory rest breaks.”

Do Belgian Malinoiss need a coat in winter?▾
