Yay! I think I found my puppy!

Congrats, Ashley!

I guess where one door closes a window opens? I am not sure how that phrase goes.

I heart the Belgian varieties, they're all so gorgeous.

Edit: How do you feel about their giant schnauzers? My grandfathers family had schnauzers and they were fabulous babies. I've been reading up on them and that's one of the ones I was looking at for the future.

Yay, congrats! I hope the puppies will be show quality, I'd have so much fun in the ring with you.

Thanks guys I still don't know the exact price of the pup. She worded it weird so the deposit (50% of the puppy's price) is $750, or the total price is $750. I really hope it's the latter but I think that's just wishful thinking. :P This is gonna be one expensive pup!

I don't know anything about schnauzers but I get a good vibe from these people. They seem very dedicated to preserving their beloved breeds and using them to their highest potential. I ran across so many "breeders" that looked like reputable breeders based on the info on their sites, but when it came to answering my questions, it was quite obvious they were in it for the money. It's such a shame that there are so many people posing as good breeders.

Oh I am so happy for you! Malinois are gorgeous dogs! I don't know anuything about them, other than what I just read though! I will be praying that you get your puppy! (along with tons of pics for us PT'ers!!!)

I love Malinois
After Cody passed, I did a survey on the internet, answered questions etc, and the "perfect" dog for me was a Malinois! I was so surprised, since I had only seen them at dog shows. Anyway, the neatest thing, one specific Malinois I met only understood French! My girlfriend happens to know French and the dog obeyed her commands. But luckily, it (I forgot the sex) knew universal hugs and kisses! I really admire you..you know your stuff!

Aw.. thanks!

I just got an email back from the breeder. Pups are indeed $750, not the $1500 I thought. I was willing to pay $1500 for a good pup but.. WOOHOOOO! She will be sold on a non-breeding agreement which will be lifted once she earns a working and/or conformation title. There's so much room for improvement in Belgians.. she'll probably be bred (under the guidance of Marla and Jordan of course ) if she's exactly what a Malinois should be.

So excited! The deposit will be sent within the next couple weeks. I'll be second on the list for a female.
