It has taken me a bit to write this review as we wanted to make sure the transition into daily life went well. Now that everyone is settled in we can say without a doubt that the experience and service we received from Ruidoso Malinois was top notch.We began our search after our GSD of 12 years passed unexpectedly, and we already knew we wanted another working dog. From the beginning Irene was crystal clear as to the expectations she had for her establishment as well as those for potential buyers. The depth for which she cares about these animals during their upbringing and after placement is self evident. For about 3-4 weeks my wife and I asked about every question under the sun, and Irene thoroughly answered every single one.Irene selected a protection male and companion female for us. The most important factor being our family dynamic. We have three children (13, 3, & 1 yo) and their safety and comfort are paramount to us. Rey and Leighla were the perfect selection for our family. Rey is very level headed and knows when to turn on and I can now say, after a couple of months transitioning him into our home, that he is very patient around our young ones. It goes without saying, animals are animals, and we always have eyes on the kids and our dogs when they are intermingled. Leighla is an absolute love bug, and is very playful with both the kids and Rey, which was also very important for us. While we live an active life style, we cannot always have both pups with us, so the fact that they love being around one another and keep each other active is a huge must.The 1-week introduction and handler school provided by Irene and her team was amazing, and I am very glad that they offer this service. From what I have read and heard of from other establishments, you could span from a 1-2 day school to a similar week. We certainly wanted a full week to fully introduce our family, see how the dogs paired as well as learn proper handling for both dogs, but especially Rey. We left with absolute confidence after this process. We want to give a huge shout out to Brian for his years upon years of experience and patience with our 13 yo during handler training.To end a lengthy blurb: Professional experience through and through, from inquiry to leaving with two new family additions. 10/10 would recommend Ruidoso Malinois for your personal protection, family protection, and companion dog needs.Thank you again Irene!Sincerely,The Hilton Family
