A Belgian Malinois was part of Seal Team 6 on the raid that took down Osama bin Laden.  I saw YOUR ears perk up!  And the Belgian Malinois ears started perking up in the late 1800s when throughout Europe dog breeding was going through a renaissance.  Collaboration with breeders and handlers was critical in developing a breed that met exacting conditions.  And a group of breeders were on a mission...
