Sometimes a Malinois really can get on your back...
They can be a pain in the neck :classic:
Some first pics of the pups, the one in the middle is one of Lattitude which is a week younger then mine.
And since there are so many...some of them are looking at the...alternative milkbar

Did I mention that the litter has three males and 6 females? If not, now you know and one male has already found a new owner.
Now I see the pictures. Just sent you a PM without seeing them before. I was a little concerned about the part "aussie" not that much because a possible "multicolor issue" (well, that too...honestly ) but more about too much hair / fur and the heat here. Thats why I prefer short haired dogs.
But you are right they still look all the same

Belgian Malinois as father...strong genes for looks and character but do not underestimate the mothers genes, she is an aussie but from a very old stock dog line so very agile and fast, very strong and an excellent guard dog which you would not give it to her by her more fluffy looks but she does not tolerate any intruder, she just goes for it :classic:
Australian Shepherds from the lines of the mom of the pup are very much appreciated by the German police and army as security dogs.
Pups 4 weeks old

~ its because you do not have over 500 posts...its in the off topic spot...dont feel bad ....look how close i am...lol
Nobody has to feel bad as I put the whole subject on WAR dogs on this topic also since its not off topic anymore
Update : 2 boy's and probably 3 (to be confirmed) have found a new home...that's to say, they are still here with mom but within a few weeks they move to their new homes.
Common for the girls!

Is there a difference between the males and females as to which would make a better house/family dog?
Maybe a bit more clarification. Generally speaking you can work/train in the first couple of years a bit easier with a female dog then with a male dog. Any male dog and especially working dogs such as Belgian Shepherds or German Shepherds who have automatically already a strong character (although my doubts with many GSD's these days alas) go through their puberty more hefty then a female and that can be a pain in the but for the handler. I say, can be, there are a lot of other factors that also need to be taken into account such as experience of the handler, litter training, puppy training etc etc...
This does not apply to their natural guarding instinct, they just have it and will use it. But if you really want to train a dog and by really training, I do mean sport training or professional training, a female dog will be easier to train then a male dog.
On the other hand, I know from experience, many professional handlers prefer to have a male dog as companion. I do both and curse sometimes on both for their stuborness but that has to do with the breeding lines (Elgos was the most stuborn Malinois you could imagine but he had a hell of an experienced handler)

My wife prefers the male dog - neutered male.
I agree that puberty can last longer c/come later w/ males but its the same as people - the women have ups and downs on a regular basis.
In the long run, we prefer males for their stability - less moody at times.
Flame suit on !!

But you are right about the females ups and down...oh boy
