Heheh . . . I've met a few Malinois, too. The local K9s have two or three. They bark and snarl at Kharma -- as long as they are safely inside the car. It's pretty funny to watch their handlers try to drag them out of the car until after she's passed by though. I'm mean enough to let her stand there and sniff around long enough that anyone watching gets to see the struggle
They're a little braver about barking at Bimmer -- until he stares back, or howls.
We've got some pisspoor K9s and handlers here, downright irresponsible, and unfortunately they're making the breed look bad unfairly. They Malinois I've been around that belonged to regular people were nice, intelligent dogs.
