Well-raised and trained Malinois are usually active, friendly, protective and hard-working. Belgian Malinois exhibit energy levels that are among the highest of all dog breeds. A typical Malinois will have puppy-like energy until the age of 3, though it is not uncommon for them to exhibit this energy level until the age of five. Many have excessively high prey drive. Some may be excessively exuberant or playful, especially when young. They can be destructive or develop neurotic behaviors if not provided enough stimulation and exercise. This often causes problems for owners who are unfamiliar with the breed and are not prepared to provide the exercise they require or a job for them to do. They are medium sized, strong dogs that require consistent obedience training, and enjoy being challenged with new tasks. They are known as being very easy to train, due to their high drive for rewards.

If you want something super intelligent, that picks things up fast, and do that much running week in week out, you will not do better than a border collie. A collie would be in its element cross country running 5 miles several times a week! Few people are ideal for a collie, as when they actually write what they want in a dog, they realise they aren't suitable to the exercise and occupying they need. Your one of the handful of opposites, whose requirements in a dog are collie perfection!!!!

Really want a pup as I need to train it to use a dog cage as my house is fully alarmed and I need to keep it caged when I am out, I would obviously train it to like the cage of course from a puppy.

It isnt mean to cage a dog, as long as its not abused, our beautiful lab chooses to go in his little den when hes tired or has a tasty treat.or did u mean leaving it in all day which I agree with, im home all day so Teddy is never on his own more than 2hrs at a time.Another vote for labradods here

Shame, my mum has one and they're very intelligent, but maybe a bit small for what you want.
A Springer Spaniel might be a good idea though, as you have looked into them anyway. My friend has one and she works outdoors and takes him to work with her each day - he is full of beans and will walk/run miles a day. |
