Upcoming Litters

If you are interested in a pup, please fill out the puppy questionnaire. If you are having problems with the online form you can copy and paste the questions from the puppy questionnaire into a text editor such as Word, Notepad, etc, answer them, and email it to me.  

For older pups or adult dogs for sale, go to the Adults For Sale page.

It's important to note that when you are looking at the dogs and/or puppies on my website for sale, I am describing them as accurately as possible. You will not find a sales pitch that advertises every dog I have as "the best in the world", because I don't believe any one dog is the "best in the world". Best is subjective, depending on who is looking at the dog. It is more important to me to correctly match the right dog/pup with the right owner and situation/job. When your dog arrives I want you to be happy with the dog you received, not wonder where the dog I described on my site is.

Keeping in mind that everyone's vision of perfection is different, my idea of a "perfect" dog for me, may not be your idea of a "perfect" dog. Therefore it's important I get as much information as possible about the type of dog you would like, so I can send you the right dog for you.

The following litters are being planned for the next few years.  These are not "written in stone", if I feel a better match has come along, then I may switch males, but these are the current plans. I only breed a few times a year, so reservations are strongly recommended. For more information email me at malinois@dantero.com.

Plans for 2024

I do not have any plans for Malinois breedings in 2023/2024.  After many years of breeding I will be taking a break and focusing on training/competing with my personal dogs.  My next breeding will be planned when I am looking for a new puppy for myself.  


Outside Breeding Planned

Breeding done Feb 27 2024, pups due late April.  Litter will be located in Southern California.  For more information contact Rafael 760-619-0182

Dantero's Ares – FRIII, PSA2, NADF1, OFA Good x Ismena z Udoli Jizery – OFA Exc (Hank vom Brunsbeker Land – IPO3, BH, AD, HD-A2 x Forzie Ostraryka – IGP3, IPO3, BH, HD 0/0)


I also have frozen semen other available for sale.

If you are interested in a pup from one of these males, please fill out the questionnaire and indicate in the correct area which male or breeding you are interested in.


Deposits

Deposits are NOT taken until a breeding is actually done.  If you are interested in a specific breeding, or a pup from a particular sire/dam, please fill out the questionnaire  to be put on a list.  In addition to updating the website and facebook, which I recommend people check on a regular basis, I will send out emails to interested parties when breeding plans are made or a breeding has been done.  Once the breeding is done it is important you contact me to get your deposit in ASAP, as I usually have a long list of potential homes and pups will not be held without a deposit.   I do not breed more than 1-3 litters a year, with many recent years being 1 litter a year.  Chances are if you contact me looking for a puppy "right now" I will not have anything for you, as my litters are generally pre-sold before they are born.  Therefore it is important you contact me to get on a waiting list to put down a deposit after the breeding is done.


 Photos and Videos

Photos and videos of the dogs being bred and many of their relatives are available throughout the website using links at Video's and by following links on the pedigrees.

Registration

All litters are AKC registered, unless otherwise stated. Females will ONLY be sold on limited registration, this can be changed to full after health tests/titles are done, contact me for more information. All puppies must be registered with an approved name (litter letter, anything the owner wants, then du Dantero).  You are welcome to call your dog anything you want as a call name.  For example, from the G litter, Gibraltar du Dantero, call name "Rocky".  Or the B litter, B'Mercy du Dantero, call name "Mercy".

Contract

You can preview a copy of the contract online

Cost

The price for pups will be from $1300-$1800 depending on if it's a natural breeding, outside stud dog, or surgical AI, plus any shipping related expenses (crate, health certificate, shipping costs). NOTE: the price on litters from semen from deceased dogs may be even higher.  Deposits are accepted ($250/non-refundable) after a breeding has been done.  Deposits are for a specific litter, if for some reason the female wasn't pregnant, the deposit was for a male and only females are born, etc then the deposit can be applied towards a future litter or will be refunded.  Working homes are given preference. On occasion a female may be available on a co-own. Pups must be picked up or shipped by 8 weeks unless special arrangements have been made. For more information email me at malinois@dantero.com.

The puppies will be extensively socialized and handled by both children and adults. As they grow various objects (metal, wood, plastic, etc boxes, tunnels, baby agility equipment, toys that make noise, etc) are introduced into the whelping pen, and later into the puppy yard for them to crawl under/over/through, carry around, play tug with etc. The puppies are all raised inside, with plenty of outside play time weather permitting. Each puppy will receive daily one-on-one sessions to play tug, learn to wear a leash, start basic obedience positions using food lures, etc. A deposit will reserve a pup. Pups will be sold with a written contract/guarantee.
