Veda
Meet Veda!
*Athletic* Veda is not your average pooch – she's a canine athlete in the making! With an insane amount of drive, especially for chasing balls, she'd be a star in dog sports like agility, flyball, or even dock diving. Get ready to be amazed by her athleticism and determination!
*Smart & Goofy*: This girl is not just brains and brawn; she's also incredibly smart and playful. Always eager to please, Veda loves learning new tricks and challenges. Her goofy antics will keep you entertained for hours!
*Gentle & Loving*: While it may take her a little time to warm up, once Veda trusts you, she's all in. She's a gentle soul who craves affection and thrives on positive reinforcement. Get ready for all the crazy cuddles and kisses once she's comfortable with you!
*Special Needs & Requirements*: Vida did not have the best start to life and as such is still learning what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. She can not be left to her own devices in the house and or in a yard like most Malinois she will make her own fun and if you’ve owned a Malinois you will understand just what this means
Veda is still working on a few things like kennel training (she goes into the kennel when directed just likes everyone to know her displeasure) and managing her reactivity. She has incredibly improved with her reactivity but needs someone willing to help her continue on her training. She takes a few times to be comfortable with new people and must be appropriately managed. I would love to help support her future family in her handling so she can continue to become the dog I know she can. She's an escape artist, so a secure kennel is a must. Veda needs a dedicated owner who understands her breed and is committed to continuing her training and providing the mental and physical stimulation she craves.
*Canine Companionship*: Veda gets along well with other dogs when properly introduced, especially her foster sister another female Malinois. While she has shown some possessiveness over toys and food with other dogs, she responds well to correction and fair leadership.
*Is Veda the Right Fit for You?*: If you're an active individual or family (with older kids) looking for a loyal companion to join you on adventures and conquer the world of dog sports, Veda could be your perfect match! Please note that she's not a couch potato – she's a working dog who thrives on mental and physical challenges. She has lived with cats within the home, and can do so if appropriately introduced to and managed.
Yuki
Location: Montreal
Yuki, Malinois, 1.5 year old. Working type
Yuk-Yuka a 100% goofy personality. He is a true lover boy and loves “gucci-gucci” moments with his person. He can spend hours on his back on the sofa as long as there is scratches. Yuki is the perfect dog for an active loner. He is a dog who loves to work and who will find missions if the opportunity presents itself. For this reason, he will need to be caged when left alone so that he does not destroy anything. He loves his cage and also lives very well in an enclosure. His switch off is still to be worked on, but he lives well in the house, but needs to be monitored.
* Yuki is a “stranger danger” Malinois. Yuki is getting better and better, I'm working on him a lot at this level and we have a lot of improvement. He is not a sociable dog to strangers and has a history of biting when a stranger touches him. He tolerates the people around him very well, but is not a fan of unnecessary petting. He is ok with a stranger if he works or plays with him. He must therefore be in a family aware of this and who will continue to work on him. A family without children is privileged, or with sensitized teenager(s)*
For the rest, he is a very smooth Malinois. He is the type of Malinois who loves little grandma walks in the woods. He has a very good recall, currently he is loose on the e-collar and I have no problems. He is ultra zen in the woods and loves water (lab heart). He is not reactive to dogs and is very social/playful. He still has to learn to respect the limits of other dogs, but he is not malicious towards them. He loves car rides and is exemplary. Cohabitation with cats is good, but needs to be monitored. He is ok with small dogs. I believe that this good boy would thrive in a family that wants to do IGP/PSA/detection. He was considered for K9, but the gentleman is too big. I also believe he would be great at any sport. He has a great food drive and play drive. An excellent working dog.
He is exemplary in manipulations, if they are done by his human. Yuki is fundamentally a good boy. He loves spending time with his people and trusts quickly.

Yuki, malinois, 1 an. Yuk-Yuka a une personnalité 100% goofy. Il est un véritable lover boy et adore les moments « gucci-gucci » avec sa personne. Il peut passer des heures sur le dos sur le sofa tant qu’il y a de la gratouille. Yuki est le chien parfait pour un solitaire actif. Il est un chien qui adore travailler et qui se trouvera des missions si l’occasion se présente. Pour cette raison, il devra être en cage lorsque laisser seul afin qu’il ne détruise rien. Il adore sa cage et vie aussi très bien en enclos. Sa switch off est encore à travailler, mais il vie bien lousse dans la maison, mais doit être surveiller.
* Yuki est un malinois « stranger danger ». Yuki est de mieux en mieux, je le travaille énormément à ce niveau et nous avons beaucoup d’amélioration. Il n’est pas un chien sociable à l’étranger et a un historique de morsure lorsqu’un étranger le touche. Il tolère très bien les gens autour de lui, mais n’est pas fan du flattage inutile. Il est ok avec un étranger s’il le travail ou joue avec. Il devra donc être dans une famille consciente de ceci et qui continuera à le travailler. Une famille sans enfants est privilégiée, ou adolescent sensibilisés * Mise à part ça, je le considère comme un chien parfait.
Pour le reste, il est un malinois très smooth. Il est le genre de malinois qui adore les petites marches grand-mère dans le bois. Il a un très bon recall, présentement il est lousse au e-collar et je n’ai aucun problème. Il est ultra zen dans le bois et adore l’eau (cœur de lab). Il n’est pas réactif aux chiens et est très sociale/joueur. Il doit encore apprendre à respecter les limites des autres chiens, mais il est sans malices envers eux. Il adore les promenades en voiture et est exemplaire. La cohabitation avec les chats est bien, mais à surveiller. Il est ok avec les petits chiens. Je crois que ce bon garçon serait épanoui dans une famille qui désire faire de la détection/IGP/PSA. Il a été considéré comme K9, mais le monsieur est un trop gros format. Je crois aussi qu’il serait excellent dans n’importe quel sport. Il a une superbe food drive et play drive. Un excellent chien de travail.
Il est exemplaire dans les manipulations, si elles sont faites par son humain. Yuki est fondamentalement un good boyy. Il adore passer du temps avec son monde et fait confiance rapidement.
Apollo
**Cross-sharing**
Location: Ontario
Apollo is a 23 months old male. He is utd with his vaccines.
He is crate trained but he is currently left loose in the house when away. He has some separation anxiety that will need to be worked on. If you love certain items, you better hide them or he may use them as his new chew toys when you are away... Apollo listens extremely well and is very eager to please. He loves car rides and he is used to being in a crate while travelling. He still needs work on his reactivity towards humans.
He does very well with other dogs, but he has only been around females. He loves to play fetch and going for long hikes. He will need an experience person who had Belgians before and understand their mannerisms. He is true to his breed: hard to trust but when you win him over, he is your friend for life. Apollo will do best with another canine friend, preferably a female.
Titus
***Cross-sharing***
Location: Ontario
Meet Titus! He is a 4 year old Belgian Malinois X (Half German Shepherd). He is a wonderful, loveable, hyper and super sweet boy!
He is well behaved and is highly intelligent. When we received him he was about 1 1/2 and was entirely untrained. With a little bit of diligence he is now a fully trained dog. He is crate trained, leash trained, has good recall, knows many tricks as well as simple commands such as "back-up", "stay" and "crate".
Titus has some minor behavioral issues. When meeting strangers he needs to be properly and calmly introduced and he is highly protective of his yard and pack. Although he has lived with many dogs and has never gotten in any fights with them. He is actually quite gentle with the small dogs he lives with. We have not successfully introduced him to strange dogs. He used to be HIGHLY reactive. With some training he can now tolerate being around strange dogs and has occasionally played with them (with a fence between them). We strongly recommend a dog free house or be willing to continue training.
Titus has started to calm down as he is growing up. He seems to be quite satisfied with some fenced yard time and a short walk a day. But he would definitely keep up if you are a runner, hiker or high energy person. He is incredibly athletic! Able to jump at great heights and run extremely fast. That being said in the house he is a completely different dog. Happy to lounge around on the couch and is definitely a cuddle bug. He is highly dedicated and attached to his caregivers. Often looking for head scratches, paw holding and kisses.
One thing we have not successfully trained him out of is mouthyness. He is quite mouthy with us. Often wanting to "hold our hand" in his mouth around the house. He has never been aggressive towards us or hurt us in doing this and knows what "be gentle" means if he gets a little too excited. He would be a great dog if you had a yard or building needing protection. Titus always makes us feel safe and protected, it's just in his nature. We absolutely love this guy and know he would make the right person very happy!!
He is neutered, up to date on his shots and has no pre-existing health conditions other than food sensitivities. He seems to thrive on an all beef diet with added nutrients from nuts, plain rice, coconut oil and corn.
Stretch
Stretch is a 2 years old neutered boy. He is not super high drive malinois but he still needs plenty of exercise and stimulation. He would be destructive without it.
This lovely boy doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is good with everyone, very gentle and loves snuggle in the couch.. He is okay with all kind od dogs and will be okay with children. The only aware with children will be that he can be clumsy when he's got zoomies and that fact that he is big. He does well with dog savvy cats but still needs reminders that they are smaller than he is and don't always want to play
He is a thief though and will try to steal stuff toys or socks or blankets and shred them. He needs to be supervised or crated. We believe it can change, probably a bad habit when he was young and didn't have access to anything. Now he knows the Drop command.
Food drive is high, toy is more low. He have been introduce to play with ball and returning it back.
This boy was found stray but he did a lot of improvement with his foster home..
