Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) Breeders, Illawarra NSW

We are low-volume, high-standard breeders and active dog sport competitors. By pairing proven European working dogs with rigorous early environmental conditioning, we produce stable, driven puppies. All pups are independently temperament tested and carefully matched to select homes in police, defence, security, dog sport. I have been involved with IGP for a decade now, both as a helper and a handler. I have met and loved many Malinois during my time in the sport, and have developed a profound understanding of all the moving parts involved in breeding a dog that excels. My love of the sport isn’t about titles or winning, it is about being able to demonstrate the qualities that make these dogs truly great. We are the vessel of their success, a way to showcase their prowess. Proving a dog before breeding is the most important aspect of breeding. IGP showcases qualities that are incredibly necessary for working dogs to possess - in a clean fashion where good training alone won’t hide faults. Anyone can start a breeding program - dogs are everywhere and breeding is a natural behaviour, it only takes two! But what sets my kennel apart is the time that has gone into researching, assessing, and also experiencing so many different lines and individual dogs. I knew when I started this project, many years ago now, what kind of vision I had for my kennel. I knew that I would only accept the best kind of dog for breeding, and that it would take years to find the right female to start.
