Totally satisfied and highly recommended My wife and I purchased a family protection dog from Ruidoso Malinois and could not have been happier with the experience. Irine was great to work with and her trainers are amazing. We spent 4 days in handler school at her facility and learned invaluable skills that will make us better owners and will help our dog perform properly with all of his training. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Irine and Ruidoso Malinois.

Don't touch Irene Howcroft and her… Don't touch Irene Howcroft and her kennels with a barge pole. She talks the talk, but don't be fooled. Good reviews are either coerced or written by employees. She and her kennels are a sham. I have spent time with one of her dogs and found this dog over excited, difficult to control, nervous and hungry for love and attention, probably from being locked up for so long. I feel very sorry for these dogs as they appear to be bred for nothing more than the money. Be careful she is not as she appears.

One week ago we got our Second Malinois…our second Ruidoso Malinois. One week ago we got our Second Malinois from Irene. After having our first Ruidoso Malinois for two years and continuing a relationship which started three months before getting him, we trusted Irene to pick out our puppy. We knew she would get us our perfect puppy and she did!! Another beautiful, solid temperament and smart as a whip Malinois! We are having so much fun with her and look forward to training in obedience, nose work, bite work and agility. These dogs can do it all! Ruidoso Malinois is an impressive working Malinois kennel. If you are looking for a dog with superior breeding you will find it at Ruidoso Malinois. Thank you Irene!

Simply amazing!!!!! Where do i start? This place is simply amazing Irene and her staff not only met but exceeded our expectations. We purchased Scotch a male Belgian Malinois trained at her facility. We fell in love with scotch the first day. His bite skills and energy and stamina is mind blowing. Tony his trainer and Matt worked the bite suit put on nothing short of amazing skills and training with this beautiful dog. We spent one full week twice a day training and getting to know our dog. From building searching to daily visits to the store and park just on leash walking and obedience training he performed flawlessly. I would recommend Irene and her staff to any one looking for great training and a friendly atmosphere and clean kennels. Oh and a little inside joke for Tony hope JERRY is doing ok in the local police department.

I highly recommend Ruidoso Malinois I highly recommend Ruidoso Malinois, Irene and her team. She is direct and honest, which I appreciate. She matched me with Zimba and what a perfect match it is. Zimba responds best when I do what the trainers instructed me to do during our 5 day training sessions. It's pretty simple. The animals are educated and we have to get on their level. This particular dog is amazing. He's loving, he communicates and he really just wants to please me and work. Trust the high ratings as you'll notice that the lower ones have less to do with the animals and more to do with being told "no"
