Different people have different views on the Dutch and French lines of the Malinois. Some say it is a regional difference, while others say it is a bloodline difference.

The difference between blood lines

DIMS blood line (Dutch line) and FLPP blood line (French line)

DMS--DIMS blood line (as it is called in China) Dutch bloodline) and FLM--FLPP bloodline (the so-called French bloodline in China)

DMS--DIMS bloodline:

Due to the competition regulations of the KNPV Royal Working Dog Association and the local social security police orientation, the Dutch Malinois gradually developed the characteristics of the DMS bloodline: high racial status, independent personality, bold and ferocious, and strong bones. Compact, possessive, and resistant to strong stimulation, 60% of male dogs have the instinct to automatically protect their owners. It gives people the feeling of a bandit general. There should be targeted adjustments in training techniques.

Generally speaking, the French bloodline is an excellent branch of directional breeding, training, and competition certification in France represented by the FLF bloodline. Its characteristics: beautiful body, super power, and high desire. The ability to accept is quick, but this dog breed is intolerant of strong stimulation. It is very smart and cunning, and it is easy to take advantage of training loopholes. It is difficult for non-masters to control it. No matter which breed you like, just do it.

The pedigree of the Malinois in the world mainly comes from two bloodlines: De Mits and Flap bloodline.

The starting point of the De Mits bloodline is De Mits. It was born in 1963 and represents a type of horse dog: yellow, large body, big ears, low interest in the ball, and very excited about attacking. , the environment is dull and insensitive. But he is disobedient to the trainer and has a strong sense of confrontation. Three generations of ancestors and grandsons from it have created this bloodline: it, DIK1, DIK11, DIK1.

Flap ALSH 4479 was born on February 17, 1956. This is a representative of another bloodline. The characteristics of the Flap bloodline are medium body size, dark coat color, small ears, and often white hair. . He has a sensitive personality and a high desire for the ball, but he has a weak sense of confrontation and is sensitive to trainers. Elgos is a representative descendant of this bloodline. It is widely used for breeding, and many famous horses and dogs have its blood.

In recent years, many breeders in Belgium and the Netherlands have merged these two bloodlines and combined their advantages. But Flap's shape inheritance is very strong. The difference between these two bloodlines may have led to the misunderstanding of the "Dutch" and "French" lines in China.
