• These breeds are all in the herding or shepherd category, but not all herders are the same.

  • I break up the herding and shepherding dogs. Collies vs. GSD

  • German Shepherds

  • Coat and structure
  • More thoughtful
  • Slower to develop physically and confidence
  • Not as high strung

  • Malinois

  • Coat and structure
  • Sport lines vs Working lines vs our lines
  • Anticipate more what they think you want and act on it quickly
  • Develop confidence fast and can have slightly more aggression issues because of that
  • More mellow than our Dutch lines, but more amped up than GSD

  • Dutch Shepherd

  • Coat and structure
  • All have Malinois blood from the early 1900s
  • More spun up than our other breeds
  • Extremely agile, almost cat like
  • Develops confidence quickly, but do seem to develop in bite work slightly slower than Malinois
