Working Dog
In the United States, Germany and other European countries, the Malinois is bred primarily as a working dog for personal protection, detection, police work, search and rescue, and sport work (schutzhund, French Ring, Mondio Ring).
The dog is also used extensively by Unit Oketz of the Israel Defense Forces. Oketz favors the more slight build of the Malinois to the German Shepherd and Rottweiler, which were employed formerly.
