MalinGer Kennels

MalinGer's Willow
OFA too young  CERF to be done


In training for: Schutzhund, Obedience
Height: 20" at 7mons
Weight: 36lbs at 7mons
Mask: Full deep and complete
Colour: Black sable - very rare in Malinois. Not prefered for the show ring.
Coat: Correct double coat
Markings: Black points
Drive:
High Prey, Good Food, Good Defense
Temperament: Good, excellent with people and kids. Stable and calm.   Willow will animate  to fast moving objects and sudden noise. But can easily be redirected and will focus on handler quickly once asked.
Overall Critique: Willow has excellent head planes, correct high ear set and size. Moderate bone and size, with exceptional deep pigment. She has good front and rear assembly, though her movement at 7mons could be better we are hoping it will improve with maturity.
Recommendation for breeding: Good. "Willow" is not a co-own she is owned outright by Valerie Binet. We are discussing one potential litter with her, but would like to see how she continues to develop.
