Walking through a cornfield and stumbling upon what eventually turns out to be ~$3 million in gold and silver civil war-era coins.
Or, why corn is golden.

says it all, doesn't it ?
We nearly went to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada area to pick up an adult male Belgian Malinois this last winter.
Then I decided I'm too old and less active for this kind of responsibility.
But man, they are an amazing breed if you're energetic, self-disciplined, and want a super-dog that can do things seldom considered. Like, gravity and fear don't register.
My niece is a dog trainer and she had two Malinois that were schutzhund trained and they were incredible at what they did. A prehensile tail would make wire walking easier for that dog.

A very smart move, Old One.So I left the pup for a more responsible, more intense, much younger owner.
They can be utterly amazing, but they can also be as intense as a paranoid meth head who's been up for a week, and is holding a loaded firearm.A very smart move, Old One.

My niece visited us one weekend and I had an errand to run. When I returned I walked in the back door to discover her Malinois at attention. UH OH! She was showering and I was intruding in the eyes of her dog. I had heard a command or two so I started in with "Nein NEIN!" to no effect. Aw shit!! Then it came to me "PLATZ!" She went down and I went out the back door to wait outside until the shower was over.
Scary dogs.
gorgeous puppy! congrats on the find...The new puppy, about 2 months ago, +/-. WAY better than any anti-depressants. She's been known to cause wall-to-wall smiles.

Now that is one beautiful girl there!! With a face like that looking at ya, no way you can be depressed.They can be utterly amazing, but they can also be as intense as a paranoid meth head who's been up for a week, and is holding a loaded firearm.
The fellow north of Whitehorse whose malinois I was going to drive and procure, having already clarified Border requirements for such a venture, sent me several videos of his dogs, including the very well trained father of the adult male I was considering and nearly brought home.
The father of the dog I was leaning toward adopting performed some of the numerous climbing, jumping and hanging by its teeth exercises that are in the video I posted, albeit with structures in BC and wild trees on his property in the Yukon Territory, at one point jumping well over 8 feet into the air and hanging onto a branch by his teeth until the owner told him it was OK to release.
And the fact that the dog I was considering bringing home was already bonded to his 'pack' and his owner gave me pause, as well. And we already had an adult (spayed) female GSD here, so we went with the petite female puppy GSD instead. As intense as GSD's can be, my initial assumption that Belgian malinois are "just another type of German shepherd" was relatively naive.
