These dogs become family My name is Vincent and I took the chance to drive from California to New Mexico to get a new dog. The trip was more than worth it and a year later the dog (Kasai) is very happy here at home as am I. When I first met Kasai he was very well exercised, well trained, and had a very good relationship with everyone there at Ruidoso Malinois. I honestly don’t believe that I could have gotten a better dog anywhere else.

Had the pleasure of getting my Malinois… Had the pleasure of getting my Malinois from Irene and had been thoroughly satisfied with her care for her dogs and the kind of home each dog goes to. I messaged her to ask how to get my other dogs to be more accepting to my new Malinois and she call right away and explained what I should do and boom, they are best friends now. Her care for her dogs is unwavering and she is very quick to answer my questions either by phone or text. I have recommended my family members to her to go through the process to getting one of her beautiful dogs. If you are looking for a well tempered, well loved Malinois then Ruidoso Malinois is the perfect place to acquire one. You won’t be disappointed with Irene’s care, compassion and customer service.

Our Two Cents Worth ... We are among those Belgian Shepard dog owners who think Irene chooses the right dog for each perspective owner. While we haven't met Irene in person yet, she has been helpful considering her very busy schedule. And she has staff members who are knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you, Irene and staff. There is one thing that we didn't expect -- our Malinois pup apparently carries recessive genes that have resulted in a Belgian Shepard with long, relatively thin hair. Also, much of his coat is darkening to sable or black, but his hindquarters remain fawn. No one we have met so far thinks he is Malinois, which can be irritating. Appearance aside, the dog we bought from Ruidoso Malinois is intelligent, protective, curious and he learns commands easily. Again, thank you, Irene. Oh, another aside, when we went to pick up our puppy, the all of the outdoor puppy pens were spotless and there were no flies or other insects to be found. Caring for so many animals is hard, sometimes thankless work and so another thank you. Best, Robert C Brown and Barbara Staley Brown

Our experience with Ruidoso Malinois… Our experience with Ruidoso Malinois was exemplary. Irene asked a lot of questions during her screening process. Irene has a serious nature and seems very passionate about her work. My brother is disabled. Irene took the time to ensure she matched up the dog with his needs and abilities. Irene is overly cautious in the safety department. Irene made special accommodations so that we could stay as long as needed to become confident handlers. Her staff were all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We were especially impressed with how well the grounds where the dogs are housed and trained were kept. The kennels were clean and disinfected. Dogs have clean water and food daily on a schedule. Ayko has become a very important part of our daily lives and family. We are so grateful for him. He is highly intelligent and well trained. Thank you Irene for the love and passion you have for your work. The Elledge family

Exceptional Facility and Dogs I cant say enough about the process or training that my daughter and I received while purchaing our new dog from Irene at Ruidioso Malinios! From the moment you arrive you can tell that serious thought is taken to ensure the health and safety of the animals and that its a quality facility. Our trainer, Ernie, was wonderful and so paitent with my 11 year old daughter who tends to be very shy. If your considering buying a great dog, look no further. On the flight home we got more than a dozen compliments through the airport and flights on how well behaved and impressive Sam was! Thank you Irene! Dennis Malin
