Malinois really are becoming more common, seems to me, than GSDs in cop and military use. I think the only thing a GSD has over them in police work is size which is largely for intimidation purposes. A Malinois would pack plenty of punch, though I suppose a large determined man, especially on drugs

I would add that you should not expect a cheapo aftermarket and McParts to work, either. I learned that with my Audi Fox in the 70's -- anything but a Behr or other German one didn't work, as they didn't have the flap on the back to close off the bypass, or they had a huge "bleed hole" drilled

Agree with Clay with the addition: Dogs are "pack" animals. Socialization and "learning the order" takes a little time but is a natural thing. I always trained a dog by placing it in a submissive position, letting him know I was "head of the pack" then rewarding him to re-enforce proper behavior.
