I hope some one can help me. I'm selling one of my young female Malanois. My problem is that Her father and mother are both short hair working malanois and she is a long silky hair malanois. Can I advertise her as a Tervuern? Or as a malanois?
In other countries besides the US, all 4 Belgian breeds (malinois, tervuren, sheepdog and laekenois) are classified as one breed: the Belgian Shepherd. Some interbreed the varieties and some don't. And some only breed certain varieties to certain others. As far as in the US, each breed is recognised as "it's own breed". Only the Belgian Laekenois is not AKC recognised. Because of the interbreeding of the varieties/breeds, occasionally some puppies will pop up that resemble a different variety/breed as a throwback to a time when they were always interbred. Most US breeders call these dogs a longhaired Mal, or a black Terv, etc. If this were my puppy, I would advertise him as a Malinois that shows throwback signs to the Terv.
I dont know which countrie are you talking about Shay Miller but I thnik that most of are problems come from people stating rumours as facts. I live in Australia and yes we do diferenciate between the four(MALINOIS, TERVUEREN, GROENENDAEL, AND LAEKENOIS). I also trained in Holland and originaly I come from Europe and yes they to know of the four verieties of the Belgian Shepherd Dog.
So please get the fects straight before you give some one advice. I have never heard of the Sheepdog as one of the veriety of the breed.
As to the forum I have seen some long haire malinois they are not the norm but do hapen so I belive that if bouth parents are mals you should identify the dog by it perents veriety of the Belgian shepherd. Atherwise you might heve some terv people wanting to by some pups beeing not so hape to find out that it is a mal.
Ps. excuse me for my speling but english is my second language.
I love strong nerve dominant character dogs. The rest are not my cup of tee.

Interesting topic. . . NOT!
The dog's parents were Malinois, say it's a Malinois and explain it to people if they inquire about the dog. . .and spell it correctly in your ad, you'll get better results.
