10 out of 5 Highly Recommend We are very pleased with Ruidoso Malinois. Irene was patient, thorough and professional. We are so blessed to have been matched with Lery. He is affectionate, crazy, obedient and can be on task in a second. What a great addition to our family. Also, we would like to highly recommend his trainers and Ruidoso Malinois, Darrin and Brian and Jack. They were fun, professional and highly skilled. Please give them a call for the best cared for and trained Malinois in the world. We highly, highly recommend Ruidoso Malinois. Kindly, The V Family of CA

Our Two Cents Worth ... We are among those Belgian Shepard dog owners who think Irene chooses the right dog for each perspective owner. While we haven't met Irene in person yet, she has been helpful considering her very busy schedule. And she has staff members who are knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you, Irene and staff. There is one thing that we didn't expect -- our Malinois pup apparently carries recessive genes that have resulted in a Belgian Shepard with long, relatively thin hair. Also, much of his coat is darkening to sable or black, but his hindquarters remain fawn. No one we have met so far thinks he is Malinois, which can be irritating. Appearance aside, the dog we bought from Ruidoso Malinois is intelligent, protective, curious and he learns commands easily. Again, thank you, Irene. Oh, another aside, when we went to pick up our puppy, the all of the outdoor puppy pens were spotless and there were no flies or other insects to be found. Caring for so many animals is hard, sometimes thankless work and so another thank you. Best, Robert C Brown and Barbara Staley Brown

Top Tier Dogs If your looking for a superior malinois Irene Howcroft is top tier. I drove 1500 miles both ways to get my pup and it was worth every mile. I had an extensive phone interview with her and you will know right away she lives and breaths this dog breed. Her kennel is superior and you'll know (and feel it) when you see it 1st hand.

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.

Great facility Great facility! Conditions for working dog housing could not be better. Well thought out kennels in an open mountain air setting. Gorgeous dogs! Irene knows her stuff! Understanding both mind and body to create a balanced sound K9!
