I'm Richard W., the breeder behind Detto Fatto Malinois located in Gettysburg, PA. Our Belgian Malinois' are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. We place our dogs in working and sport homes. We breed with a focus on temperament and ability, and we only breed dogs that are healthy and have proven themselves to be outstanding at their jobs. Our puppies are adaptable and trainable, and we train and socialize them while they are with us to prepare them for their future roles.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Detto Fatto Malinois reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Belgian Malinois.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
