Testimonials - macesmalinois

Hey Jerry… good story for you.

Last night my mom let Anja out to go to the bathroom around 3am and realized someone was breaking into our cars. My moms first instinct was to yell “Anja get him”…. No shit, my completely domesticated Malinois who carries a stuffed toy 24/7 and has NEVER had an ounce of protection or bite work leaped into action with that command and chased the guy down, jumping on him and knocking him down in our front yard. I could NOT be more proud.

It really goes to show there is something to nature vs nurture, she may be a big baby but when needed she could sense my moms fear and tell in her tone that she needed to help take care of the bad guy… I’m such a proud mom! And so thankful we have her to protect our family.

Thank you so much!
Puppy is doing great (we named her Kya).

You were right about obedience classes – she’s way ahead of the rest of the class. The trainer is John Wadsworth, he works a lot with military and K9 dogs so he loves having her in class. Potty training was a breeze, she’s very loyal and obedient – all around a great pup.

She’s a tough girl, and always the dominant over other dogs. She has great prey drive, we’re still contemplating doing Sch with her.

Thanks for a great pup!
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know we named the puppy Sookie and she is doing very well. A great challenge for us, but we are up to it. She fits in our family very well and seems to be very happy. She is a well behaved dog and is very easily trained. We love her very much. She gets along with our Doberman well. I am sending you some up dated pics of her.

Thank you again an we will stay intouch. We talked about poss. getting another, but I think we will wait just a bit longer…lol…
Oakley is doing very well. He is so smart it is shocking at times. In fact the main reason why he gets a correction now (which is rare) is because he anticipates what his next command is and does it before we give the command. The program that Fabian set up for us has been extremely helpful. It was so wonderful to have him here and give us a customized handlers course. Fabian truly understands dogs. Oakley is a much happier dog now and in turn we are very happy with his progress. When we are in public with Oakley we not only get complements on his looks but his behavior.

I was walking him the other day and there was a woman walking her dog across the street from us. She was having a very difficult time controlling her dog as he wanted to come across the street towards us. Oakley behaved so well. He did not bark at the other dog nor the workers standing 10 feet in front of us. I simply told Oakley to sit. We waited forth e woman to get control of her dog and walk past. As we restarted our walk the workers in front of us looked at Oakley and said ” Wow that was impressive!” I nodded and said yes he is a very impressive dog. He is doing a great job now at getting used to our busy house. Also, Oakley and our youngest son have also found some common ground. Mason now likes to come up to Oakley and gently pet his back and Oakley is more than happy to let him. Fabian was instrumental in correcting that situation. We are so happy to have Oakley in our lives.We also wanted to thank you for sending all of Oakley’s papers. They arrived right before we had his first vet visit and were extremely helpful. It was so nice to have those records and see that he was up to date on all his shots. The vet told us that he looked fantastic and we could not agree more.

Thank you
Thank you!

He sure is extremely willing to please and wants to interact with me constantly. I am super happy with him! For years I was planning to go with a Dutchie at some point. I always admired Malimois but never wanted to own one because many of them I have met are kind of….nervy.

Little Viper has proved me so wrong. He is such a cool solid puppy! Not a worry in the world:) He is so much fun to work with!

Thank you so much for breeding this boy!!!
We wanted to say hi and let you know that Oakley continues to be a super star for us and we could not be more happy with him. My family and I have never felt more safe. And he is constantly impressing us with how intelligent he is. By accident we discovered that he already knows how to do some tricks like shake hands and speak when asked to speak. This made us wonder what other tricks he may know. Would it be possible to find out what he may have been taught from his original owners? If this would be a big hassle its not that important in the grand scheme of things, we were just curious so we could continue those things with him. Hope all is well with you and yours and thanks again for this spectacular dog.

Our Malinois at Work!!!

Springfield police officer Jeff Coker and his partner Kilo placed first this past weekend in a competition that tested their crime-fighting skills against other canine teams.

For Kilo, a 3-year-old Belgium Malinois, the competition was just another day at the office.

“He’s very high intensity. He loves to work,” Coker said. “You want that high drive. You want a dog that doesn’t want to quit.”

Coker and Kilo were one of 21 canine teams from across Illinois and Missouri that competed in the USPCA Region 16 Canine Certification. The event, hosted by the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office, was held at Spartan Park in Chatham.

There were competitions in evidence recovery, suspect searches, agility and obedience.

Coker and Kilo placed first overall and finished second in the evidence search.

Sangamon County Deputy Brian Stapleton and partner Zaso finished second in agility and third in obedience, which enabled them to place third overall.

Stapleton also organized the weekend competition.

Kilo is trained as a dual-purpose dog, which means he can search a vehicle for hidden drugs, track suspects, and even detain an arrestee.

After hours, Kilo lives with Coker and his family.

“He’s very good with the family,” Coker said.

Coker and Stapleton were among five local teams that qualified for a national competition later this year. The other teams are Ron Howard and Jax, Tim Day and Thor and Ryan Machin and Arko, all with the Springfield Police Department.

Day and Thor finished fist in both evidence and suspect searches. Howard and Jax finished second in obedience and fifth overall.

First-place team honors also went to Coker, Day and Howard.

Machin was grouped with Sangamon County Deputy Coroner Bill Russell and his dog, Apex, and Officer Dave Heine from Granite City. They collectively finished third in the team competition.

Thank you
I wanted to update you on our Belgium Malinois we have purchased from you. She is 7 months old and very intelligent. She has a high pry drive as well as a high curiosity. She is a great protector and is very easily trained. She picks things up quickly.

She goes everywhere with me even to to Phil. Premium Outlet’s. I was surprised to know of all the places that welcome dogs.

We were wondering if we could get some info. From you on protection training for her. We do work with her, but would love to see her excel with professional help.

Thank you so much for making our family complete.
Out walking Malcolm this morning in neighborhood. A guy needed directions and said, “hey you got my dog– a belgian malinois”. He asked if I got him from Jerry Mace and told him yes. He said he has a 4 yr. old female out out Jasta and Mira and you have great dogs! Just thought I pass that along for you.

Thank you
