The Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) is a breed of
dog, sometimes classified as a variety of the Belgian
Shepherd Dog rather than as a separate breed. The Malinois
is recognized in the United States under the name Belgian
Malinois.
Like all Belgian Shepherds, the Malinois is a medium-sized, hard-working, square-proportioned dog in the sheepdog family. The Malinois is recognized by its short brown and yellow coat and its black ears, cheeks, and muzzle.
