Eight-month-old Malinois can recognize new owners. Through feeding, the owner can get along with it for a long time. Normal horse dogs will recognize people in one month, and recognize their owners in six months. They are very loyal dogs, very intelligent and reliable, and are often trained as working dogs. Breeding from an early age is conducive to developing a bond with the horse and dog.

Performances of a horse-dog recognizing its owner:

1. When a horse-dog regards you as its master, it will turn its belly in front of the owner. The belly is a very soft part of the dog's body. They usually hide their belly and only turn it over in front of their owner.

2. After a horse dog regards you as its master, it will stick to its master like a follower and respond quickly when it hears its own name.
