The Mink Man wants a Belgian Malinois or Dutch shepherd

September 2, 2018 by retrieverman

I’ve long admired Joseph Carter’s work training mink as hunting animals. He’s now getting a Dutch shepherd or Belgian Malinois as a versatile hunting dog and mink tracker.

I’ve honestly wondered if anyone has ever used a Malinois as a hunting dog, or even within some cross used for hunting (although I do believe someone was creating Greyhound/Malinois lurcher types a year or two ago, I haven’t thought to look up if they produced anything out of it). Definitely have the drive, although drive to bite a man in a suit doesn’t automatically lead to a good hunting dog. We’ll have to see what he does.

I think Malinois’ prey drive can be put to a good hunting use. I appreciate the guy’s rationale. It is definitely not an emotional decision.

The Malinois needs a job, as it is a working dog. Seems like that would be perfect.
