Male Belgian Malinois

Cisco.

From Texas to the dock, the search and the shed field. The jumpin’, bitin’, smellin’, swimmin’ Malinois.

The dog behind the work

Meet Cisco.

Cisco came to me from Texas—the jumpin’, bitin’, smellin’, swimmin’ Malinois. Watching this fella grow up has been a blast. His photographs are a good place to start. They show the dog behind the initials.

Nosework, shed hunting, jumping and coursing have all been part of his story. The searches, retrieves and jumps are different kinds of work. I keep the photographs and individual records together here so you can see both.

If Cisco brought you here because you are thinking about a puppy, tell me what caught your attention. We can talk about the pairing, pedigree and individual health information—and what you want to do with a dog.

Thinking about offspring?

Tell me what you need from a dog and what you can give one. A parent profile is not a litter announcement, and an accomplishment is not an outcome guarantee.
