Yesterday I had two calls regarding 3 Malinois pups from one litter. These dogs were sired by a dog, whom as far as i can tell has no titles beyond dock dogs, in CO and whelped by a bitch in Henderson who seemingly has nothing to her name. The male is owned by a SMS trainer and DD competitor and as far as I can tell that's what this dog does. These pups were sold as "great active family pets" and these families are 4 months in and losing their grip very quickly. They sound like normal mals to me but I'll never advocate a mal to the average pet home. They're "constantly moving, barking, starting fights, and biting faces." One was sold to an elder man with health issues and the man went against the better judgment of a mal owning friend and purchased the dog. Now I'm being asked to help it stay in the home or potentially take her myself.
The other two were sold to a family who for all purposes should have gotten a lab, they are moderately active and love dogs but these are "more aggressive than expected" and "always stealing things and arguing over them".
This breed is totally screwed and it makes me want to cry.
Eta to remove needless crap.
Today sucks.
