Located in Central Florida.

Chelsea's previous owner had this to say about her:
She is beautiful inside and out, with such a loving personality. She is friendly to people and other dogs, but she chases anything that moves quickly - squirrels, lizards, CARS - so probably safe to say, cats would not be a good match. She does use her mouth a lot, but in a puppy-like way, nibbling your hands, but when we ask her to "close it", she responds well. We are also working on her jumping up behavior. She knows how to sit, wait, lay down, look at you, and go to her crate.  She yearns for stimulation and activity if the sun is up, and mellows out by 8-8:30 pm, and will lay on the couch with us until bedtime. She does well in her crate, no whining until she knows it's time to get up, generally around 7 am.

Chelsea loves to run daily on leash through the park. She appears somewhat interested when passing other dogs, but is not forceful in wanting to engage with them. She plays well with our friend's Golden Retriever, who is also outgoing and friendly. 

Chelsea can be shy & skittish at times with loud noises - construction, drills, vacuum cleaners, thunderstorms - and also with unfamiliar dogs; we have taken her to the dog park several times, and she seems uncomfortable - she is super athletic, as most all Malinois are, so she is quicker than any of the dogs we have encountered and can outrun them.  We notice that shortly after entering the dog park, she will head back to the entry gate and sit there as if she is ready to go, making me think she is anxious here and this isn't a pleasant experience.

She is housebroken and crate trained, but will dig holes and climb fences if left alone.
