Freddie the male Belgian Malinois (nearly 4 years old) looking for new loving home

Freddie is a nearly 4-year-old male Belgian Shepherd Malinois who is currently seeking a new home. Freddie was born on the 17th of June 2020, he is full of energy, well behaved at home dog. Freddie is a fast learning, bright dog. He loves fetching balls. He grew up in a home with small kids. He needs a lot of attention and loads of active time outdoor which our family cannot provide to him anymore. Freddie would need an owner who has experience with the Malinois breed.

Freddie is microchipped, wormed every month and all vaccinations are up to date.

He cannot eat beef due to skin reaction. Sometimes he shows aggressive behaviours towards small dogs and he chases cats.

1. Keep communication through our messaging system for as long as possible.
2. Choose carefully what information you share about yourself in your messages. Do share info if you have a garden, young kids, or other suitable information to help the seller know you are a suitable buyer.
3. Report suspicious activity to your local Garda Station and to us via the Report ad button.
4. We recommend you print or save a copy of this page for your records in case the ad is updated / closed.

1. Ask sellers to provide an ID (driver's licence / passport) and take note of their contact details. You will also need to provide the same & a proof of address to transfer the microchip to your name.
2. Note microchip IDs posted here (990000004131929) and check the microchip certificates (important) when you visit to make sure they match and the sellers details are on the certificate too (see example microchip certificates).
3. Do not purchase a dog without seeing a microchip certificate. It is illegal to sell a dog without a microchip that's fully registered (info).
4. Do not purchase a dog from a seller in a car park or other business location.
5. Consider buying a puppy starter pack of essential items .
6. Ask sellers about the vet who has taken care of the dogs. Ask for the dog's vaccination certificate(s).
7. Use our contract template www.dogs.ie/contract or another as a basis for a written contract & ask for a written receipt.
8. It's best not to bring young kids to first meetings, to avoid disappointment in the case you decide not to buy a dog.
