I don't know how much knowledge you have about dog breeds, but my guess is you gain the info you need and maybe already have some experience with this kind of dog from the army. Many people don't know there are working dogs and show dogs, the difference is like night and day. The words working and show dog says it all. These dogs are bred for different purposes, for the show dog is the appearance most important, and their working skills are no longer present at all in most of these dogs. My friend has just bought a female puppy for 20 k, Belgian Malinois, he wants a male but the dog breeder told him all males were reserved for the police. I train German and Belgian shepherd in many years, obedience, tracks, and defense work. In the Philippines, defense work are only allowed for people who work in the army or police

 

Just be aware of the difference between working and show dogs, I don't think a show dog is for you, soft like butter and get easily scared, the working dog is mentally strong and hard, can read a situation even when not trained, know the difference between god and bad people, and most dogs take action and will protect both you and your home. I meet people here who believe they have working dogs when it is show dogs, I never say anything, all of us have the best dog in the world in our own eyes

 

Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary have just posted (on their Facebook page) a piece that highlights this regarding a Belgian Malinois they have rescued from being put down after it bit its owner

 

I am waiting the day you hurl yourself downhill from Valencia to Dumaguete on a sled, pulled by your husky whilst shouting "mush, mush" (you can insert a comma after "husky" if you wish ).

 

Congrats on the new puppy! Where did you get him from? I've been wanting to get a golden but they are very hard to find. Did you decide that a lab was not for you, and if so why?
