We’re starting a new feature here on the CanineLink blog – Speed Breeds! These are designed to be quick snippets about dog breeds that we love, and as a way to introduce people to breeds they may not be familiar with.

Name: Belgian Malinois

AKC classification: Herding Group

AKC ranking: #71 in 2012, #74 in 2011

The breed takes it name from the city of Mechelen in Belgium (in French, Malines).

A Belgian Malinois named Cairo accompanied the US Navy SEAL Team Six on the raid at the Bin Laden compound in Abbottabad during Operation Neptune Spear in May 2011.
