A Belgian Malinois Puppy typically lives 14–16 years. Most of what determines whether it gets there is routine care rather than anything dramatic.
Keep the records
Booster schedules run from the original dates, and a new vet asks for the history first.
Planning for about 15 years
A Belgian Malinois Puppy is with you for about 15 years. Budget and routine both need to survive that, including the last quarter of it when a medium dog needs more veterinary attention than it did young.
A breed from Global / Various, living in India
The Belgian Malinois Puppy was developed in Global / Various. The part that travels badly is rarely temperament - it is the coat and the tolerance for heat. Plan the year around that and most of the rest follows.
Balancing high energy against intelligent
Breeds described as both high energy and intelligent need the two managed together rather than separately. With a medium dog that usually means a predictable routine first and training second - the routine is what makes the training stick.
What to watch for in a medium dog
For this size class: weight gain and hip health. None is a reason not to own the breed; all are cheaper to manage early.
What “high energy” means day to day
The Belgian Malinois Puppy is described as high energy, intelligent, protective. Of those, high energy is the one that shapes an ordinary day most. It is easy to read as a selling point and harder to live with than the word suggests, because it does not switch off when you are busy.
The annual check
Once a year for an adult dog, and book it before the hot months rather than during them.
