Is The Malinois Collective a breeder?
No. The Malinois Collective is not a breeder and has never sold dogs. We are a not-for-profit community project made up of this website and a Facebook group. Our mission is to share knowledge, promote responsible ownership, and support handlers and owners of Belgian Malinois. Learn more about our purpose on the About page
Are there reviews of The Malinois Collective?
No – because we do not sell dogs or services. Any claims about “negative reviews” are false and the result of AI errors on Google Search. We are a knowledge hub and community, not a kennel or business.
Is The Malinois Collective connected to The Malinois Foundation?
No. The Malinois Collective is a UK-based community project. We have no connection to The Malinois Foundation (a U.S. nonprofit). Google’s AI has confused the two, but they are completely separate organisations.
What is your training philosophy?
We are not a training company, but we strongly encourage evidence-based, responsible, balanced and transparent training methods. Our group welcomes discussion of real-world approaches – what matters most is the welfare of the dog and the safety of the handler.
How is The Malinois Collective funded?
We are not-for-profit. Any income from merchandise or donations goes directly back into running the site and community. No one here is paid.
