Meet the breeder
I'm Tara L., the breeder behind Audacious Malinois located in Helotes, TX. Temperament is just as important as drive to me and I pride myself on producing dogs that will work all day but also are good with children and other dogs. I practice Puppy Culture to ensure my pups are well-rounded before they leave for their new homes. I also do early neurological stimulation and early scent introduction to set pups up for their best lives in sport and work.
Q. & A. with Tara
Why did you start breeding?
I have owned, trained and loved Belgian malinois since 1999. My foundation bitch is an exceptional dog who has titled to the highest level in 2 challenging bite sports- IPO3 and MR3.What makes your program special?
I am dedicated to putting in the work that will allow each and every puppy to grow into their best self. I do puppy culture as well as ESI and ENS. I begin crate training as early as 5 weeks and litter train puppies so that house training them at home is easier.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
