A couple months ago I made a joke asking someone to give me a Malinois so I could stop wanting one. That same evening a friend/awesome breeder/Maliraptor messaged me saying they were looking for a home for their girl, newly retired from breeding. I had zero plans to get a second dog, definitely did not think it would be a Malinois, but I'd been admiring this particular girl ever since they got her and I couldn't say no.

Last night we picked her up from the airport and fell in love with her immediately. She is sweet, so loving, so bouncy, and will put her paws up on my chest so I can pet her head. She spent the night stretched out against me, nudging me whenever I stopped petting her, and trying to "groom" me. She has also destroyed 3 balls since, tried to eat a sock before I put it on, jumped on top of her crate and my snake enclosures twice, and did back flips (almost literally) for hot dogs. Quiet and sweet when we are relaxing, nuts and ON when a ball or treat is out. In other words, perfect :)

I am so grateful for good friends and the kindness of people who have never met me, for making this all possible. You guys are amazing, and there is no way I would have this girl if not for you. Thank you!!

Officially introducing Siege! I will take real photos later today and share - unfortunately don't have Lightroom on this laptop so you guys will have to make do with sooc for now, but I figure it's better than nothing!





cellphone pics - she and Trent met briefly for a walk and then sat next to each other indoors for a few minutes while they both got treats. We're keeping them in separate rooms for now and taking it slow, but Trent likes her a lot. Too much, but hopefully he'll learn to be less obnoxious about it LOL

And yep, that's her soliciting more attention


"you has treats gimme gimme I'm cute"

Congrats on the new addition!

I love her color! she's stunning! :) How old is she?

And she sounds like so much fun! I've been itching to be able to play with a training crazy dog... I'm considering signing up to foster mals in the future. haha. I just want to play with some for a little while.

Thanks so much guys!! I am so excited and happy to have her. It's only Day 1 1/2, but I think it's going to be a lot easier having two than I thought it'd be.

Yay! Tell us more! More pictures! It's still early on the west coast, you can get more pictures today
That's the plan, heading out in a bit for another walk/run!!

So far she seems like the perfect blend of troublemaker and CUTE. She is so incredibly kind, but also very, very nutty. When she is up and wants to engage she is bouncing and vibrating with energy and want, but right now (and for most of the day actually) she is curled in a tiny ball against me sleeping. Really great off switch, trying to see if that's a fluke or if she's actually like this LOL

We will be doing lots of trick training and I do hope to start in IPO this summer with her. She is IPO1 titled so that will make it a bit easier for me, hopefully! Not sure how long it has been for her though. We'll also be doing lots of trick training, she's going to be a really fun dog for that. Leg vaults and rebounds, here we come!

Thank you! She's 7 years old. And LOL!!! watch out, you know how I ended up with her? Because I made a joke on Facebook about wanting to foster a Mal so I could know it's a bad idea. Look at what happened :p Not that I'm complaining!!!

Congrats! She is gorgeous and sounds like an absolute blast. I was so incredibly excited for you and kept compulsively checking Chaz in anticipation. It's great that you are managing two so well and that Trent seems to be taking the new addition nicely. What a precious girl!
