[edit] Moving back to Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois)
See List of dog breeds for a fairly well-researched & negotiated list of dog breeds to use in Wikipedia. Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds also has discussions at various levels and sublevels. AKC is the only registry that calls the breed Belgian Malinois; all other major English-language registries call it Belgian Shepherd Dog and consider it just a coat variation, or Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois). That's why it was the way it was. If Belgian Malinois wasn't already set up as a redir to BSD (M), that was an oversight. Elf | Talk 04:13, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Negative description of the dogs characteristics
The description that is given on the Belgian Shepherd Dog is a bit negative. There are plenty of dogs that are agressive as well and therefore not suitable for the not-so experienced dogowner. These dogs are not only chosen for their agressiveness but also because they are fast learners. Compared to other dogs they are extremely intelligent, that is: they can learn new tricks fast. The whole paragraph needs to be rewritten in my opinion. Let me hear your view on this.
