Lola

About a month ago we learned about 8 Malinois puppies (3 have been homed) from an accidental litter. The original owner was promised support and placements by “higher up” people who said they would purchase the dogs once they were old enough, but that never happened. Ten months later, he was left alone with all the dogs, with broken promises and no real help.
Because of that, these pups spent most of their lives in a garage (with garden breaks), and they were not vaccinated early on. He did what he could with what he had. He slept with them, fed them, and asked for help on many occasions, but the situation became impossible.
We’ve now stepped in and we are rehoming all five.

Lola is one of our 11 month old Malinois pups looking for a truly suitable home in the Netherlands Germany or Belgium.
Lola has a big personality. She is confident very energetic and she loves to play and be the centre of attention. She is the type of dog who is always on and ready for what is next. She loves running tug games chasing toys and generally doing everything at 100 percent.
Because she is so switched on Lola needs clear structure consistent rules and daily training. She can be strong with other dogs and may try to take control in certain situations so we are looking for an experienced home working breeds shepherds Malinois experience or someone who is genuinely committed to training and understands what it means to raise an intense adolescent Malinois.
Important to know
Not aggressive but intense and can be pushy or overexcited
Very little leash experience so walking nicely on leash still needs to be taught
Not toilet trained at all so this is a fresh start from the beginning
Needs routine calm leadership and consistent boundaries
We do not know yet how she is with cats so only reach out if you are willing to introduce and test safely and slowly
About Malinois honest but important
Malinois are brilliant dogs but they are not an easy breed. They need a combination of mental work physical exercise and structure every single day. Without that they can become overstimulated frustrated and start creating their own jobs like destructive behaviour obsessive habits or reactivity. Lola will thrive in a home that enjoys training and can channel her drive into something positive.
