[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My French Ring III Belgian Malinois can make it from the front door to the gate in under 3 seconds. My gate is clearly marked as such. Like the mastiff folks, no one comes on my property. Should you get past the Mali, the Rottweiler will pick up the slack.[/quote]

Yeah, these dogs and mastiffs should be banned from civilized countries. Don't come crying to DCUM when it tears the throat out of one yours or your neighbors children. Why would you want a dog that makes your property totally unsafe for guests?[/quote]
Learn something about dogs and dog sport then come back and talk about my dogs. Your half trained dog is far more dangerous than mine. Dogs that successfully compete at the top levels of dog sport are highly intelligent, stable and safe. My guests have nothing to worry about. Does your dog obey your every command immediately, completely and without fail off the leash and collar? Mine do. Does your dog resist any food that is place under his nose, tossed in his direction or offered to him without fail? Mine do. Learn what you are talking about then come back and have a rational discussion. [/quote]

I am the poster who has owned 3  Rottweilers. My current dog has achieved the AKC Utility Dog title, Tracking Dog title, and is working on his agility champion title. His pedigree is full of ScH dogs from Germany and the Netherlands; he is no slouch. He absolutely fulfills the criteria you outline above. That being said, he is not the appropriate dog for the average "pet owner" household.

Most people cannot/do not want to train to this level. And that is FINE, but they need t realize that and get the appropriate dog.

PP, you are correct. I am the "crazy" person from above. I have trained dogs as a hobby for over 30 years and have achieved several titles including the first French Ring title ever obtained on a North American bred Rottweiler. I would never recommend a Malinois to the average home. The average dog owner cannot handle a Mali. Or a Rott for that matter, but certainly not a Mali. I really posted to give folks a laugh but of course, this is DC, so someone's sphincter tightened. You are right on the money, most people barely teach their dog to sit, stay and come so breed selection is important.[/quote]
