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.
As of 8 November 2026, 4 Belgian Malinois are listed with rescues in Wales on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 1 puppy aged 12 months or under and 2 adults. The rest have no age we can read, so check the profile.
3 of them are listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: Malinois x German Shepherd, Sbt Cross Malinois and Sharpei x Malinois. Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.
The rescues mark 2 as able to live with children and 3 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.
