What Belgian Malinois are like to live with

Sheepdogs of this type date back in Belgium to the Middle Ages.

The Groenendael (black, long coat), Tervueren (long coat in red, fawn or grey), Malinois (dense, short coat) and Laekenois (harsh, wiry coat). The Royal Kennel Club says they share the same physical attributes and differ only in coat and colour, and the breed standard judges all four to the same standard.
