Shakira is a pregnant female in her 3rd week of gestation. This will be her first litter. I have encountered an unexpected family emergency and have decided that I must make other arrangements for her. Because she is pregnant, I have prepared a contract made up for you to sign that you can read while considering adopting her. I am asking for $6500 plus pick of the litter of 2 of her puppies. I usually sell my puppies for $3k each because they are AKC and the litter will be registered, and because of the extensive program that I raise my puppies with. But if you adopt her, you will be whelping her puppies and raising them and selling them on your own. All I am asking is for pick of the litter of 2 of her puppies. Its expected she will have 9-12 puppies. I will be having an ultrasound done to estimate the litter size and for your confirmation that she is pregnant in about a week. Please continue reading to learn about her temperament, training, and her current lifestyle. Shakira is a well trained, highly obedient, super affectionate extremely well socialized dog. She is an indoor dog but goes for daily walks and free run time at the park across the street. She is e collar trained, knows commands, and its very easy to manage. She abnsolutely adores children, but due to her size and strengrh, she is best suited around kids 5 and up. She will chase and tackle smaller children if they run and scream. Of course she will stop if you command her to, but if you arent paying attention she will knock down small children in some circumstance so I keep her on leash when there are little children around. She is kennel trained and housebroken and does wonderfully while free roaming the house. She is very high energy, high prey drive, high ball drive, and loves tug. I have not done any bite training with her but she would excel in it. She is extremely agile and loves to jump at any opportunity she gets so I have done some agility with her. She really wants to do more, so I would highly receommend getting her into a program or at the very least set up a home agility course so she can maximize her potential and to provide her an outlet for her desire to do it. She is highly social and wants to be with her people. She is completely silent when left alone and I have no issues with her barking whatsover. She will bark when people approach or enter the house however, as any Malinois should. She loves people, and wants to meet and greet every dog and person she sees when we are outside. She understands that she cannot play with every dog she sees, but if given the opportunity she would love to run and wrestle with other dogs of her caliber. I have small chihuahuas and she is very respectful of them and understands that she cant play with them like she would a big dog, so she lays down to get at their level and lets them come to her. She is an absoutely amazing and perfect dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Belgian Malinois Puppies
What makes Belgian Malinoiss special?
Belgian Malinois are protective around strangers, but they bond quickly with their families. They have a keen sense of what’s going on and aren’t afraid to defend their owners and territory. For a happy pup, make Malinois your “only child,” and give them plenty of secured space to play. Full-grown, they typically weigh 40-80 pounds and stand 22-26 inches tall.
Will a Belgian Malinois get along with my other pets?
Belgian Malinoiss are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. The Belgian Malinois should be socialized as a puppy if they're going to live with other dogs or pets, but their nature is to be protective and aggressive toward foreign animals. They’re shy around strangers but get along well with children. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Do Belgian Malinoiss need a lot of physical activity?
Belgian Malinois need a lot of activity and outdoor exercise each day, such as a long run, walk, hike, or play session in the yard. Malinois thrive most when their minds are stimulated. To keep them engaged, trying playing complex games, sports, and any activity that taps into their natural prey drive. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
What kind of coat care does a Belgian Malinois require?
Belgian Malinois have a short brown, grey, or fawn coat, sometimes with black-tipped hair. Their face usually has a black mask and ears, along with a lighter underside. Belgian Malinois shed heavily once or twice a year. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Are Belgian Malinoiss a good fit for apartment living?
Belgian Malinoiss are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. Malinois are quite large, so they do better in homes with large yards, rather than apartments or small spaces. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
