Malicollie

The Malicollie is a sleek, athletic hybrid that usually carries the sharp intelligence and alertness of the Belgian Malinois with the lean, elegant outline of the Whippet and the herding steadiness of the Shep Collie. In the home, this dog is affectionate and people-oriented, but it thrives most when given a job, daily exercise, and consistent training; it tends to be playful, highly responsive, and naturally watchful without being overly heavy-handed.
