This Belgian Sheepdog history, especially the Malinois, had
its beginnings in 1890, fully ten years before the German
working breeds which have always received the lion's share
of attention. Yet this has been virtually unknown outside
of the homelands in the Low Countries. For these reasons
this small anthology has been collected here. Jim Engel Marengo, Illinois
