What are the traits of the Belgian Malinois?

In looks, the Malinois is slender and light with a large head and wide muzzle; in character, loyal, alert, and enduring. It is very loyal to its owner but highly wary of strangers.

It is smart and quick to train, with developed muscles and great stamina and burst, suiting police and guide-dog work; it is called the ‘king of police dogs.’
