Can confirm. Here's my dog (back) and his brother (front). We decided to save the $100 and skip the DNA test for our dog since all his siblings got them and shared with us. Here's his brother's View attachment 297668View attachment 297669

I got my DNA test results back for my crazy dog. There's lots of shepherd and bully in her. The malinois in her is pretty obvious with her energy levels and love for training. She doesn't have the long thick coat that most malinois have though. She ended up with a pitbull coat and pitbull ears.

She’s got a great smile! Something about asymmetric ears is so endearing

I found a lady in my area that had a couple treadmills so I got to try them out before ordering one. She didn't go much faster than about 4 mph, but for the first time she did pretty good. I've heard it usually takes about 5 sessions before dogs get comfortable enough to run, and most of them don't go for a full 30 minute session on the first run, but she could've gone well past the 30 minute timer.

I did some 3.5-4 mile runs with her this week. When we get back she wants to keep playing with a ball or rope. Dogs got fricken energy for days.

That's actually terrific for her first time.

The wait for the treadmill kinda sucks. They said it wasn't going to ship until the end of this month and it's coming from Bulgaria. I almost thought about cancelling it. Partly because I got the yard fenced in now, so that's been a big help at burning up some of that energy. I think it'll be a good thing to have though.

I think her being only 32% malinois is kinda my saving grace. I've been doing some research on the breed and the more full bred Mals are probably twice as crazy as she is, but she's at least twice as crazy as a normal dog.

Keep at it - I had a carpet mill for my old StaffyBull - they are more geared for resistance than cardio. I think for your dog the slat mill is a good call.

Tried to my dog into the pool this weekend since it was warm enough. That didn't exactly work out. I was able to get her to stand on the 2nd step without freaking out, so she did better than any other dog I've tried to get into the pool.

At one point I threw a ball into the middle of the pool and then I jumped in to get it. I wish I could've seen what my dog did. I surfaced and turned around and she was in the pool with me trying to climb out. I dunno if she actually jumped in with me or if she just let her excitement get the better of her and she fell in.

I want to see if I can get her to be comfortable in the pool so we're gonna try that a few more times.

I also ordered a little doggie pool. It's like 63" wide and 12" tall, just a cheap fold up thing. I think she'll like that a lot more.
