I'm Peyton, the breeder behind Fromage Malinois located in Greensboro, GA. We breed Malinois with the goal to have a dog that is versatile, stable, and structurally correct. I expect pups to excel in conformation, bite sports, detection, AKC sports, and more. We perform all recommended health testing on our breeding dogs, and they are proven in work, sport and show.
Q. & A. with Peyton
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program after we were unable to find a working dog that also conformed to the breed standard. We knew we weren't alone, so we decided to share our work-driven, correct, stable pups with others.
What makes your program special?
Our program stands out because of our focus on not only drive, ability, and temperament but structure as well. Our dogs have a unique mix of being able to work in sports, show in conformation, and are also stable and can live in a home environment. All puppies will be placed in working, sport or show homes. We look forward to connecting with you!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, mahogany, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 19 June •
I can’t believe this litter is 8 weeks old! 3 of the Loki/Gouda puppies are off on their new adventures. Angel Food Cake will be a detection dog and Apple Pie and All Purpose Flour are doing PSA. I have one male available for a Malinois experienced home who wants to do IPO/SAR/detection/agility or other sports!

Litter update on 12 June •
I have one more puppy available from my Loki x Gouda litter. They are just over 7 weeks and will be ready to go home on the 17th.
Animal Cracker was stepped on by mom at 3 weeks and broke her hind leg. Our vet doesn’t expect any long term issues but I’m not comfortable placing her in a home that wants to do high impact sports. She is microchipped and has received her first distemper/parvo. I will be making another vet appointment next week to check in again about her leg but it was a minor fracture that shouldn’t have any growth plate involvement.
She would be great at scentwork, AKC tracking, rally with no or minimal jumps, or lowkey personal protection as a leg dog but is not suitable for bite sports, agility or any high impact activity. She could potentially be happy as an active pet but she is a Malinois and I’d love to see her doing something. Not a conformation prospect.
Both parents are both OFA CHIC and embarked, litter was raised with ENS. She has been on car rides, exposed to multiple new environments and gunfire, is great for dremel, dryer and baths, started crate training and is pretty clean and will be easy to house train. She has moderate food drive, good possession, good environmentals and is very social. She should be a fairly easy dog for a Malinois and is more moderate, definitely not over the top or psycho. She is not free.

Gouda’s puppies are 2 weeks old tomorrow! Everyone is fat and happy, and most puppies have their eyes open. I still have 2 females and one flexible on gender spot for working, sport or competition homes. These are working line Malinois and are not appropriate service dogs or therapy dogs.

We were expecting 4-6 puppies based on her ultrasound. Gouda is not having 6 puppies. She’s not even having 8. She’s having 11, maybe 12.
So, I’m taking a few more applications for this litter! Due April 23rd. Also accepting donations of caffeine in any form 😂

Belgian Malinois
About Gouda
Gouda is what I see as the ideal Malinois. She has high drive but isn't over the top, and has a solid off switch and is easy to live with. She brings a balance that is rare to the breed. Her prey, food and hunt drive are phenomenal. Gouda will work for just about anything, whether it’s a ball, tug, food, or praise. She's fast and agile at 55 pounds.
Gouda is a one person dog, bonding closely with her handler but is incredibly social with strangers. She is social with most other dogs, but remains neutral unless given a command to interact. She's environmentally stable and can handle virtually any new situation with confidence.
When working, Gouda is calm, clearheaded, and committed. She has a nice balance of prey and defense in protection. She is possessive with others, but not her handler. Gouda is very easy to teach and picks up on things quickly. Gouda excels in PSA, herding and detection, but enjoys tracking, barn hunt, agility, conformation, and being a couch dog. Gouda has been worked on poultry, sheep, goats and cattle in both a training setting and ranch work. Gouda is a UKC conformation champion, and has a group win from the one time shown in the champion class. Gouda has a clear embark panel, normal eyes, full dentition with a scissors bite, normal cardiac results, good hips and normal elbows.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Fromage 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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (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.
Dentition
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Full Embark 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.
