It's TRAGIC imho, why the fuck would you take on one of these dogs when you should KNOW they can solve puzzles, walk backwards on ropes, open locks, jump up walls etc. Even a basic 5 minute video on youtube SHOWS these aren't an average dog & aren't happy with just a walk once a day. Lucky for me as I'm on JSA I could spend several hours a day teaching it to dance, climb trees etc & as I prefer the company of animals to humans it's a win win for me.

3 of these dogs all under 2, I bet they were ALL lockdown dogs too, some Owner who's middle class with a kid or kids & wife, in their late 20's or early 30's, wants a dog to take to the park in their Volvo & walk it for 30 mins each day after work, they get a fucking Malinois then after a few months Cannot deal with the work so they give it up.
Those kind of people are Scum imho, nobody gives a fuck how the dog feels about it!!!!!!!!!!
I mentioned in the above post, dogs home specials and indeed they are.
The dogs home don't mention one important part, 'can or can't stay home alone' (without tearing the place apart...)
Food agression, had one of them before, they're dominant prey drive driven animals, other dogs and cats generally no on all of them unless socialized at an early age.
That dogs home says possibly on ghost with other dogs yet states 'single household' none of these dogs can live with children lol.
Ghost in theory sight unseen should be the best companion out of those three if you want to stay single for quite a few years want to be billy no mates bar the pooch.
I'll try and take a video of my one what that means in practice and how he reacts to other dogs, he's pretty docile in comparison to other Malinois tbh I can film him

His teeth brushed my legs a few months ago without a biting attempt, he wanted to have a go at another dog, too late to correct him.
A few days later he wanted to do the same thing I corrected him on the spot before his teeth reached my leg.
He hasn't attempted it since.
Got home a bit earlier than anticipated, pooch walking time.
and no you don't have to train them daily, once a week is enough for mental stimulation, daily exercise even in thunderstorms/wind/rain that one is necessary, every day preferably let off the leish too...in theory it happens twice daily here for one hour in total and I do 5 miles minimum, today and some other days it's only been 2.7 miles and once only.
Without daily exercise even the best trained dog won't listen.
