Winstar Nightwatch Kennel utilizes the
best ingredients when breeding our Belgian Malinois. Our
breeding program includes stud dogs that are selected for
their size, temperament, intelligence, agility and stamina.
They have well recognized pedigrees and are titled either in
sport or working dog competition or service categories. Our
bitches are chosen for their good looks, temperament,
intelligence, stamina and good pedigrees.
From the day they are born our pups are treated with tender
loving care. We assist the bitches in feedings and assure
that all pups are raised in a clean and safe environment.
Currently we have a 95% success rate in raising all live
births in our four existing litters.
Our pups are evaluated for their roles as working dogs at 8
weeks. Those that pass the test move on to different
training programs. Those that do not are raised as mascots
and for possible protection of areas, since this instinct is
in their genes.
Our dogs are trained in basic and advanced obedience in
preparation for their roles as working dogs. Some proceed to
training in detection of narcotics, firearms and explosives.
Others are in the process of training for search and rescue.
When we put all together we have outstanding candidates for
single and dual purpose police dogs.
Our Stud Dogs, Bitches and Litters pages will show you just
some of the dogs we breed and train for service and sales.
Let us know how we can meet your needs!

History of
the Belgian Malinois
-----------------------------------
Belgian Shepherd Dogs were
established as a breed during the latter part of the 19th
Century. The Belgian Malinois is in fact a variety of the
Belgian Shepherd Dog. Other varieties are the Groenendael,
long-haired and black; the Tervuren, long-haired and redbrown or
gray with black mask, ears and overlay; and the Laekenois,
wirehaired and redbrown or gray, is recognized as a Tervuren if
born into a Tervuren litter. Since 1901 The Club Societe Royale
de St. Hubert has recognized and registered the Malinois,
Groenendael, Tervuren and Laekenois. The wirehaired is not
recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in the United
States. Malinois, Groenendael, Tervuren and
Laekenois are considered different varieties but one breed by
The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC).
In 1911 the first two Malinois were imported into the United
States: Belgian Blackie AKC #148516 and Belgian Mouche AKC
#148517. From 1911 to 1958 Belgians were registered with the AKC
as Belgian Sheepdogs. In 1958 the AKC declared the Belgians to
be three distinct breeds. From 1959 to 1965 Belgian Malinois
were placed in the Miscellaneous Class. Both the Groenendael
(registered as the Belgian Sheepdog) and the Tervuren were
placed in the Working Group as separate breeds. In 1965 the
Belgian Malinois was reinstated in the Working Group. In 1983
all three Belgians were placed in the newly formed Herding Group
as separate breeds.
