du Val du Bois Malinois
Meet the breeder
I'm Doug S., the breeder behind du Val du Bois Malinois located in Bolton, CT. My program is based on drive, health, proper temperament and dedication to the malinois as a breed. I breed specifically for myself and the type of dogs I like to further my breeding program. I strive to place puppies in the best homes that suit them.
