A dog training expert has provoked a polarised reaction after saying he believes one particular breed is likely to be added to the UK's banned list. Jacob Morgan, who founded YorkshireCanineAcademy.co.uk, has warned people to be absolutely certain of the commitment needed after witnessing a growing number of Belgian Malinois being advertised for rehoming.
Jacob, who owns a Belgian Malinois himself, said: “Just this week I have seen five Belgian Malinois dogs looking to be re-homed via Facebook. This is frightening to see as it shows people are buying this breed of dog and not being able to care for them.
“My Belgian Malinois puppy, Stark, is 15 weeks old, and I’m with him most of the day while I train our clients' dogs. But I also have members of staff who can also make sure Stark is getting stimulated by giving him an activity to do every hour. Even as a dog trainer, if it was just me looking after Stark, I’d struggle.”
