Viral Video Highlights High-Energy Demands of Belgian Malinois Breed
A recent viral video compilation by TikTok user 'Furball Diary' has brought renewed attention to the unique and often demanding characteristics of the Belgian Malinois breed. The video, which has garnered over 45 million views, showcases a Malinois engaging in a series of high-energy and sometimes destructive behaviors, from effortlessly scaling a newly built dog run to enthusiastically digging large holes and playing with an RC car. While many viewers find the dog's antics humorous, the comment section has become a forum for both admiration and caution regarding the breed. Pet owners and experts alike weighed in on the challenges of owning a Malinois. One commenter stated, "DO NOT GET A MALANOIS. I cannot stress that enough these dogs were not bred to be pets. 99% of people who aren’t law enforcement or military have their homes destroyed, other animals killed or get mauled. They’re violent, territorial and restless. Not bad dogs by any means but have a purpose and it isn’t cuddling." Another user humorously added, "These dogs are basically toddler boys for their entire lifetime." These sentiments highlight the breed's need for extensive physical and mental stimulation, a point echoed by many in the online discussion. The video serves as a vivid illustration of why Malinois are often described as "ADHD dogs" and are not suitable for inexperienced or sedentary owners.
