German shepherds and retrievers are commonly used, but the Belgian Malinois has proven to be one of the most outstanding working dogs used in military service. Around 85 percent of military working dogs are purchased in Germany or the Netherlands, where they have been breeding dogs for military purposes for hundreds of years. In addition, the Air Force Security Forces Center, Army Veterinary Corps and the 341st Training Squadron combine efforts to raise their own dogs; nearly 15 percent of all military working dogs are now bred here.
Chris Wojda and his 6-year-old Belgian Malinois, Clive, like to end training sessions with the 65-pound dog jumping straight into his arms and licking Wojda's face. A movie coming out this weekend about a military dog named Max has some owners, breeders and trainers concerned that the Belgian Malinois will be the new Dalmatian. The Warner Brothers film depicts the true story of a Belgian Malinois military dog serving in Afghanistan with his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott.
