Malinois- size

[Aleron]

Aleron she sounds totally my type - I really tend to like the little ones! I watched Seven's lure coursing video - he seems to be having a blast! And of course I LOVE Whimsy - I frequently show Rally videos of her to my mom, haha.

Awww I will have to tell Whim she has a fan She couldn't go coursing because she was in season but I'm sure she'll love it when she gets to try. She also loves agility, obedience and what she knows of flyball so far. Around the house though, when nothing is going on she's so lazy.

Seven's speed surprised everyone, even the lure operator. Small but mighty

She sounds like my perfect size, LOL! Do you have any pictures of her? She sounds really cool.

Yup, this is wee little Candy!

The larger Belgian is 23 inches

I questioned if it was true or not but during that time, I did see some rather Dane-y looking Mals.

Replying to myself here but this is a really interesting story and involves a working bred Dane-y looking Mal: Dog Submerges Herself In Bathtub To Survive Fire - Video - WYFF Greenville

Well for a size comparison, here's Kim next to a female Mal from last weekend:

Kim's 23" at the shoulder. And believe it or not she actually weights two pounds less than the Mal (48lbs vs. 50lbs)...but she is substantially fluffier since the poor Mal just blew coat and has essentially no hair left.

I wonder if Riley ended up with a recessed great dane gene from somewhere in his lines... That might be a better explanation than horse lol...he is freakishly tall.

Riley looks like a Mal though LOL. I have seen some freakishly tall Black Belgians over the years, some up to 29" or so tall
