Who is better: pitbull terrier or malinois
Two different dog breeds: American Pitbull Terrier and Belgian Malinois. Which breed is better? Which one is suitable for security? Which one is suitable for a family with children?
My name is Veronika Voitovska. I am a doctor, expert dog handler, animal psychologist, owner of the Dognik Bulls kennel for serious breed dogs. I will tell you all the differences, pros and cons of pit bull terriers and malinois.
Let’s start with the purpose. Malinus were bred to work as service dogs. That is, for the protection of people, objects, territories. Their genes contain the ability to make independent decisions and bite people. After birth, they are already ready to enter into conflict with a person. It is their inner being that helps them in the work for which they were bred.
American pit bull terriers a hundred to two hundred years ago were used for fighting with other dogs of their own kind. Then the era of dog fighting passed and the emphasis in breeding was aimed at active, adequate, athletic companion dogs. It is important that the American Pit Bull Terrier breed standard stipulates the absence of aggression towards people. Although the media promotes stories that pit bulls eat children and kill people. This is wrong. True purebred American Pit Bull Terriers are very devoted to their family. And they are loyal to strangers. They don’t want to bite off the leg of a child passing by. They dream of their owner playing with them in the forest or in the park with a ball.
Next are the sizes, coat and other points that are important when the dog lives in an apartment. Any long-haired dog has a smell. In long-haired breeds it is quite sharp (like the Malinois). I recommend having such dogs in a private home, but not in an apartment. You don’t want to have the smell of a wet dog in your cozy and clean apartment? Short-haired dog breeds (like American Pit Bull Terriers) have no odor.
Malinois are much taller in size than pit bull terriers. 10-20 centimeters higher. Pit bull terriers have a wide range in height according to the breed standard. Therefore, the Malinois is taller than both small and large pit bulls. Decide if you are ready for a large dog in the apartment.
Attitude towards strangers. In American Pit Bull Terriers it is positive. Malinois have a wary attitude towards strangers and this is normal for this breed, this is exactly how they were bred.
Both dog breeds are highly trainable. However, with a Malinois you need to work more on endurance. They are very easily excitable, easily wound up and difficult to calm down. These are features of their nervous system. Also, during the training process, they often nip (bite) their owners until they completely learn to control themselves. No wonder they are compared to alligators.
American Pit Bull Terriers enjoy training. They love movement, love to learn, and have no tendency to bite their handler or owner.
I personally have seen Malinois dozens of times at training grounds, the problem of which was biting family members and children.
Therefore, I would recommend buying an American Pit Bull Terrier puppy for a family with children. To protect a private home or live outside in an enclosure, buy a Malinois.
