Element Belgians

Tasha M.

Certified Breeder of Belgian Malinois

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Element Belgians located in Winnemucca, NV. I have been a Belgian Malinois breeder for 20 years. First and foremost, my dogs are my beloved family members. My lines focus on herding and conformation. I have had many dogs excel in agility, obedience, flyball, search and rescue, cadaver, and dock diving. My dogs are my life, and I pride myself on raising dogs that can excel in AKC sports while still having an excellent off-switch in the home. I truly love my dogs and what I do.

Q. & A. with Tasha

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was given a quality female, and I thought her line should carry on her outstanding qualities. She ended up being the top Malinois producer in 2010 for her prodigy with performance titles. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Belgian Malinois.
  • What makes your program special?

    I specialize in herding lines, which are hard to find in the United States. I am a preservation breeder striving for quality, health, and to ensure the future of the Belgian Malinois for generations to come. Whether you are looking for a pet, a working dog, or a champion, quality show dog, I have the perfect pup for you!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red sable, red, mahogany, fawn sable, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
