You mentioned the Vizslas, My Great Grandfather, a Hungarian immigrant, bred vizslas.  He used to tell me that real hunters hunt birds.  He was an incredible man, unfortunately his health never allowed us to hunt together :'(  I'd like a Vizsla but it seems if you want a solid nerved Vizsla you have to sell body parts to afford one, they were too pretty and the pet people bred the snot out of them.  Pet and show breedings have ruined a lot of good dogs, it what happens when they forget that you breed for function and form follows...not the other way around...

Indeed! Lots of genetic garbage out there because of the breed "standards" I've met one vizla and it was pretty as all get-out. I've heard that German shepherds have fallen out of favor for police work because of this - is that why the Malanois are so popular with law enforcement now? I mentioned this to the handlers that recently swept  my school, and they had heard this also. 1 had a shep and 1 had a malanois. the malanois was a  badass.

Good luck with the new pup!

@Cam, You darn right I'll be posting pics.

@Badger, That's an incredible story but doesn't suprise me, great dogs such as yours truly are good judges of character!  Everything else you said is what attracted me to this breed!

@Sparrow, that's what everyone has told me.  Was gonna go the quail route but seems too likely a chance she might catch them :o

@Postman, A GOOD german shepherd is still preferred by many handlers and trainers because the Malinois can be a bit too much dog.  But finding a good GSD for a reasonable price is not easy.  The cost of a solid, non crippled working line GSD will buy you 3 good malinois.  Ijust pray the malinois doesn't get ruined.  It's gained a lot of poplularity in the last few years. The good thing is there are a lot of ugly malinois, helps keep the show peoples hands off of them.  But people seeing the badass allure have taken to breeding sub par Malinois to make a quick buck in the Personal protection arena.

I love my malinois' but a good one is more dog than most people knew was possible.
