Our Belgian Malinois was trained by the Military. His name is Breacher. He was a service dog for our veteran son Tracy. 

When our son passed away, we took this dog into our home as a pet. He doesn't have many bad habits. Like, Breacher must go through a doorway first. We retired him but he can't accept it. 

It took about 3 months for him to truly acclimate. We knew he was accepting us when he offered his belly for petting. However, he is still a Malinois that needs exercise and mental stimulation. He continues to walk our perimeter several times a day and wants to chase balls. We walk him daily. He has the run of the house and sleeps on the couch.

Breacher is very protective of us and our grandkids. He likes playing with our grandkids. 

Breacher loves to be spoiled with petting but he doesn't understand rough housing. He will bite. We have warned people not to approach us or him quickly and keep a Do Not Pet sign on his vest. 

We have cameras outside but he alerts to movement in the driveway or yard many times before the cameras alert. He is smart and dedicated to his tasks.

Keeping Breacher has been a Blessing to us. He reminds us of our son and his contributions to our nation. 

Having Breacher come to the front door is better than a FAFO sign. I do have Beware of the Dog signs posted.
