Brook

Brook Got an Award of Merit at the 2007 ABMC National Speciality, and Went BISS at the Northern Califorina Herding Group Designated Speciality!

Temperament:
Brook did not like strangers much as a youngster, but she has grown into my social butterfly. She adores my cats and frequently curls up with one to sleep. She does not react to small dogs or other small animals. She prefers her creature comforts & is the only Malinois I know that likes to sleep under the covers. Brook is my Alpha Bitch, and the one I would consider my best “family dog”. Settles nicely in the house.

Structure :
Brook is a 21 ½ " and 40 pounds. Square construction with a short back, Light Bone. Coat is Red with a slight overlay and a correct double coat. Ears are small and well placed.

Working Ability:
Brook is my agility nut, she just adores it. She starts whining before we get to practice in excitement. She has beautiful running contacts, and great distance work. She is food motivated, and the first dog I trained completely by Operant Conditioning. Tracking: She is the slowest tracking dog I have which is very nice for me! Obedience: She will do all the obedience exercises, but prefers Rally, where she gets more feedback from the handler. Herding: I think she takes after her grandmother River with this one! I think she could go far in herding, unfortunately she has me as a handler. I will probably send her with a trainer at some point to herd more.
