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.

I’m very grateful to have found Ruidoso… I’m very grateful to have found Ruidoso Malinois, Irene matched me with the perfect dog. She fits right in with my family and our lifestyle. Irene is extremely passionate about her dogs and their training. I had a wonderful time at handler school and I would highly recommend Irene to anyone looking for a Belgian Malinois.

Our Mal is now 2, review after 8 plus months of knowing RM Our family has known Irene for almost a year, we own one of her incredible male Belgium Malinois. We couldn't have been more pleased with our dog, he is absolutely amazing, the training in NM was so rewarding and beneficial to my entire family. Since owner our Mal, we have been in close touch with Irene, she has been a great wealth of knowledge and helps with our Mal. These dogs aren't for everyone, the effort needed to keep them healthy and happy is high, but so are the rewards! If you're looking for a Mal, I would highly recommend her. She supports our vets and the breed.

These dogs become family My name is Vincent and I took the chance to drive from California to New Mexico to get a new dog. The trip was more than worth it and a year later the dog (Kasai) is very happy here at home as am I. When I first met Kasai he was very well exercised, well trained, and had a very good relationship with everyone there at Ruidoso Malinois. I honestly don’t believe that I could have gotten a better dog anywhere else.

I have done alot of research before I… I have done alot of research before I purchased Nana from Ruidoso Malinois (Irene) she took the time and answered all my questions. I definitely would recommend that if you want top quality give Irene a call. Even now after several months have passed I can still call her with any questions. She has spent alot of years helping to perfect this breed and the standards. Call Irene if you are interested in purchasing a top quality Malinois.
