What Belgian Malinois are like to live with

The Royal Kennel Club lists the Malinois as the Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois), a "versatile herding and armed services dog". It says these dogs are agile and fast, are widely used by the police and armed forces, and "have an appetite for work, being watchful, wary and highly intelligent". Sheepdogs of this type date back in Belgium to the Middle Ages.
