I thought that was how the dog looked, like a stretched Mali, I wondered if there was some greyhound or something as well

You can see them a lot better on the vids, but you need to look hard as they are either sitting or moving around. They are both high on the leg, but don't have the hind angulation I would expect from a GSD cross, nor the strength of bone.

Sighthound cross is possible, or possibly three-quarters Malinois, one-quarter something else, perhaps collie? the eyes of one of them remind me very much of my own BSD/BC cross, being rounder and more expressive. If I'd crossed him back to a Belgian, I could imagine the result being fairly similar if they had come out short-coated.

they look like 8-9 month old Malinois to me - quite light boned and Shelly is typier than Lady but they are both definitely Mals - I'm wondering also if they've come from the RSPCA case mentioned previously

I'm sure the Rspca wouldn't mind if it gets them both the right home . Do you have the link to their site?

I never thought that I'd see any sort of BSD in any rescue situation, when I first had mine in the 80s, as most people had never heard of them - so the very idea seemed quite impossible!

My broadband isn't really up to doing vids
