This was right in the beginning. Nowadays, due to different use, there is a huge difference between the 3 beauties and the beast (The ones with the long and rough coat and the shorthaired Malinois) The Mal has been considdered the ugly one and combined with the fact that working people prefer to train thier dogs than to groom them made that the emphasis for breeding has been different between the "beauties" (Groenendael, Tervuren en Laekenois) and the "beast"(Malinois). The beauties have been bred formost for thier looks and the Malinois for his capability to work in Belgian Ring. This difference in breeding goals has had its impact on build and character off the different breeds. the beauties are more homogene if you consider thier exterior but they have a softer character. On the other hand the true Malinois is not so homogene as his counterparts with other coats but has a much harder character and is more dominant then the other 3 versions. Greetings Johan |

All the Tervuren's I have met here seem to be a little "wimpy" like the lion in the wizard of oz, no courage. Apologies to anyone that has one but that is the type I have seen in agility and after speaking to a lot of belgian owners they have all agreed.  The Groenendael's by contrast seem to be a much more confident dog and I quite like those although they still have too much coat for me, never seen a Laekenois over here so can't comment on their personality. I have to say that the Mal is certainly not the "beast" in my eyes, I actually prefer them. The ones I have seen are mostly show bred but there are a couple in agility that are working bred and they are completely different, harder, more attitude and loads more drive, almost like a different breed. if I had a belgian it would be a mal and it would have to be a working bred one, definitely not a beast! |
