The time is right. Shelter in place means we have the time. My wife and I work from home and can devote the time needed. The SIP is taking it's toll on the kid, and she wants / should be given the blessing of a dog.
We're 100% committed to a Malinois and that makes it a more difficult. Rescue's will not entertain allowing us to adopt one. They require prior experience with the breed, and / or prior large dog experience, previous or current dog in the household. I understand their concerns, but still plan on adopting a malinois.
We have the time. We have the drive and personality to support the needs of the breed. The family also understands the needs of the breed and are onboard. I have a very large yard. My brother and sister in-law are veterinarians (free care!). I don't need a purebred dog with papers. We would like a puppy but would consider other options. The younger the better. We want the full experience.
What's BARF got to say? Can you help us locate a malinois puppy?
