Breeder choice is one of the steps that get you over the line if you are looking to get a puppy. I am here to narrow it down to a few highly reputable Belgian Malinois breeders in the UK.
The over-the-top temperament of the Belgian shepherd means that the breeders should be over the top as well. When I say over-the-top, I mean quality-wise. Brush your worries aside while we comb only through the best ones.

1. Avonwolf
This Gloucester-based Malinois operation is probably the best you will find. Set on excellent breeding practices and incredibly successful dog training programmes and facilities, Avonwolf oozes class.
All of the dogs are bred as sports or working dogs and are registered with The Kennel Club and The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). Puppies are microchipped and possess all health test certifications.
The owner, Ursi, has been winning world championships with her dogs for a while. She has extensive training programmes that include protection, sports and work. This is a whole-package breeder. It is clear they do a great job because Ursi has one of her own females as a security dog.
Avonwolf dogs are raised on a raw diet and receive probably the best socialization possible by going on litter trips as soon as they are capable of running on their own.
The Process Of Acquiring A Puppy
You can use the website contact form to contact Avonwolf, but email and phone are available too. Potential new owners will have to come to the grounds so that their interaction with the dogs can be assessed.
Avonwolf only sells to owners who will have their dogs participate in sports or be working dogs. They are not sold as pets. Your name will be put on a waitlist that can be as long as one year. Prices are discussed after the potential owner has been assessed. Service homes have priority.
The lifelong health guarantee means that the owner is contractually obligated to return the dog in case they do not wish to care for it anymore. Puppies can be shipped after they reach the age of eight weeks. Delivery is organized by the buyer and can be worldwide.

3. Anker Canis Malinois
Getting a puppy from Anker Canis can be a tough adventure. You will certainly enjoy it, but not until you have gone through an intense screening process. It really is not all that bad. They like to know how well you understand the needs of the breed, as any good breeder should.
They breed only the healthiest bloodlines that pass the eyes tests and BVA elbow scores with flying colours. The same goes for hip dysplasia testing — dogs that do not pass the test are not bred.
Puppies are microchipped and dewormed and receive their first round of shots before being ready for their new owner. They also go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) to become fearless adults.
So, nothing to worry about here other than what you will say to the owner while being “interrogated” for a spot on the waiting list.
The Process Of Acquiring A Puppy
Anker Canis does not have a contact form, but they do have email and phone. They are quick to reply and will gladly have a chat about anything you want to know.
You are guaranteed to be on a waiting list, so think about your future dog’s gender as soon as possible. For a place on the waitlist, you will need to, ideally, have a face-to-face conversation with the owner and, after confirming your interest, place a non-refundable £350 deposit.
The deposit is transferrable, so you can choose a puppy from the next litter if you were inconvenienced at the time you deposited the money. The remaining balance is paid once you come to get your puppy or a week before it is sent to you.
International delivery is an option, but once again, the buyer needs to organize everything. Breeding contracts and full puppy prices will be discussed once you get in touch.
