Litter and program updates

Program update on 10 Nov. 2025 •The Mimi-Thor puppies are enjoying their new tug toys! They are letting their inner Malinois shine through!
Douglas W.
Program update on 27 Oct. 2025 •…Hello to everyone! I just wanted to reach out and thank everyone for the applications for Mimi/ Thor puppies. They are doing fantastic! All are eating gruel dog food and starting to run around and behave like Belgian Malinois. This is a great time to begin seeing their personality traits starting to show up. We will begin their actual evaluation period in a week and a half. Since week 2, we have been performing noise inoculation. This helps to build curiosity in sounds instead of fear response. Any noise that sounds interesting, they are confident enough to go check it out.

Douglas with North Texas Working Malinois is awesome. I found him through the Good Dog app. He is super responsive and a quality breeder. I could not be happier with the puppy we got from him. She is perfect. You won’t go wrong getting a puppy from him. She came with her initial vaccinations, a microchip and a great information package along with a chew toy and some starter food. Nyx is happy and healthy and has a fantastic personality and has no fear of anything.

It was a pleasure meeting Douglas. As a new Belgian Malinois owner I had many questions. Douglas was patient and provided an abundance of information. He also microchipped my new buddy, Courage. Good Dog is a good service. I believe they screen and provide potential customers with information on the Breeders. Upon pickup of Courage, Douglas provided my daughter and I a nice puppy package with information, starter food, treats and what to do with the new puppy. I recommend Douglas to any serious pet owner!
