It does appear the Malinois does not come in solid black, at least solid black is not accepted in the Canadian Standard. The long haired Belgian Shepherds can be black.

I know two Mals (not to be confused with Malamutes) one does flyball and one shows up at our Rally trials. Both are extremely high energy, focused, competitive dogs. I mention these two competitive venues because perhaps you would like to consider such outlets for this breed's need for action and mental work? REally, Rally is a bit staid in the lower levels, what about agility?

Lovely, sharp, alert looking dog you have there. Just gorgeous.
I meet some people that had a mini poodle , they told me they when to a breeder to get a toy poodle . The breeder said the puppy was a toy poodle but it grew up to be a mini poodle. The owners said they where keeping the dog as they loved it but they really wanted a smaller dog. They had no idea if the breeder lied just to made a sale .
