Anyone Else Working Malinois X Greyhounds Or Similar

[bunnys 1,228]

These herders mallinois Dutch laekoneis herders etc are the at the front of herding type breeds in the world unspoiled by kc, these are the type that need to be used in my opinion to get good solid hardy types of the pastoral types because they bred for work and work only different lines suit individual requirements but it's work ethic that these breeds at the moment are used for . Maybe in a decade time it could be different the malls are already very popular over. here don't take long ta spoil a type once they become popular the malls seem to throw a nice light f1 seen a few all like peas in a pod my thoughts on the f1they seem to be stable clear headed line bred may start ta get very high driven animals and these would need the right type of handler with the nouse to handle them . Now they could be something ta wet the appetite.atb bunnys.

Malinois are better suited to Lurcher breeding mainly because of their conformation.

Dutch hearders are heavy, Laekoneis are rarely worked nowadays, also they are few and far between to have a good choice.

F1 breeding nearly always offers a steady animal, but genetics are not always that straight forward. Like the well documented GSD x on here that doesn't guard and to look at it's a beast, One of the bitches I have here that's just like a Mali in temperament, hyper as.

. I like the sounds of that hyper bitch lee and so very true in words these animals are only for the few who can live out and about with them each and every day other than that they be a no go for most I would say only normal steady folk stick ta what they no best and forget the nightmares of lurchers has for the Alsatian sxesing mostly f1s I seen don't guard but generation bred they do but likes has most lines differ they chew they you can be become avoided by walker sect, all a pain in the back side till around the three yr mark relentless stimulation and training which can be all to much for some also bets those saplings of thyne look and tick the boxes good luck with them time was wrong for me but hey the future bright and there seems to be a few if not the odd uns stepping up ta job to choose from if one thinks of breeding in ta future and yes the mall types do see, to throw far more lighter f1 than Alsatian even my little bitch has similar physique has straight mall and personally one could get by with a pure mall if one his not in the numbers game or needs 4and 5twice a week I believe ova the next decade there could be a renewed interest in the xs more so the malls atb bunnys.

Did you breed these dogs GVC? There was a litter from Kent advertised on here a few months ago. Anyone know how they are getting on?

 

They're are doing very well and produced a fairly even litter. Hardy, fearless, clever, but a bit hard to keep occupied.

Good with the gun, live stock, not seen ferrets yet, bark/bite on command, follow the beam, retrieved most things, not entered water yet but I have no doubts. In fact the only thing they are lacking is my ability to train two highly driven pups!

All good guards, but sensible with and steady with it.

I've liked them so much I'm running two this season. One of them is a bit hard to live with, but the dog I used is too.

 

Before everyone jumps on it and thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread, they are not for everyone, they need lots of stimulation. If not they will drive you mad, really!

My dogs are out at least twice a day, not necessarily working, but playing, socialising, training and keeping them busy. They need to be in and out of the home to give them proper socialisation and stimulation.

They chew like feck, they are noisy in kennels, will eat every thing they are not meant to, they jump up at people, can be sensitive to a heavy hand and will take them selves off hunting if you don't keep your eye on them. So all in all a fecking nightmare if you don't know what you are doing or don't have enough time for them.

 

Anyone still want one?

They sound like useful animals. Thank f**k I didn't get one!

Good write up leegreen, I've been waiting for an update on this litter :-)

 

Are you getting the same sort of feedback about their siblings? Anyone got one as their only dog, one on one as it were?

I should imagine those foibles you highlight could be ironed out a little, if someone had the luxury of being around the home all day (my situation :-)) & being able to interact with the dog throughout the day, one on one......

Sound like a real challenge though & an exiting season ahead for sure ;-)

 

Any recent pics mate?

Not the best pictures they are off my phone.

[Maximus Ferret 2,055]

I remember him now. You were in another incarnation then.

[forest of dean redneck 11,190]

Always liked look of that dog.

[Lloyd90 509]

Got the neck of a giraffe

 

I always thought being lighter framed and set than a GSD theyd be better to make a Lurcher cross but the tales of their temperament put me off the thought.

 

High drive, endless energy, never switch off, and the mals stories of being too intense to the degree of sometimes biting the handler when in go mode.

 

What kind of graft do they get mate ?

yeh seen it on here few times , it's a police dog and it bites the cop lol , they mals in pure from are very hyper type dog , like a big tough collie if you like but worse .lol . with the greyhound in any mix it does water it down the other breeds temp I think. just look at pits , collies, Alsatians , etc all in pure from there temps are a lot different to there xs . when you put greyhound or,deerhound etc in a x , your getting a sensitive quite nature dogs , pits and gsds are the same, its only when there wound up with other dogs in the pits case , or if Alsatian guarding its home you see that side of there temp . With my dog 1x gsd x greyBuck very sensitive / wimpy quite dog at home likes people and other dogs, but when hunting a different temp comes out in him he is very full on type dog . the mals and d/s are different type temp to a Alsatian anyway , a gsd a lot more laid back temp than a mal d/s , a lot more lol
