I really want to own a malamute when I'm older, they're gorgeous dogs and apparently very people friendly.
malinois should be the same size as most american GSDs. i have a malinois, and a white GSD/mexican red wolf mix, and they are comparable size and weight, but different body builds.
youll be happy with a malinois. they are extremely fast learners, obedient, and playful. id like to get another one some day if i dont get a saarloos like caladouchbag posted above
I like Tamaskans.
