Not until the Malinois, Dutch Shepherd and crosses get popular in the show ring........ So, probably not.

so german shepherd people rather have a showring dog then the top working dog as a whole for the breed??

To each his own, it is a versatile breed and people like different aspects of the breed. Working dogs are not for everyone just as show line dogs are not for everyone.

eddy, as long as there is profit in it, there will be breeders producing GSD for LE/military. some will do it for the profit, some will do it because they love the breed. It is what it is.

Rik,
Since there is profit in it as you correctly state, it is a business. Supply and demand are basic concepts. As the demand grows for Mali's and DS and the price is favorable people in the business will simply supply more and more Mali's. The demand is already there.

slamdunc, I can point to the whole breed being changed (as I know you can) in both the U.S. and Germany by 1 or 2 people. happened in the U.S. with Jimmy and Germany with the Martins. Until someone shows up with what these people had to cange a breed direction, then nothing will change.

Rik,
I just know what I see when I go to select dogs and what other PD's in my area are doing and the dogs the high end Military units want.

There are plenty good GSDs. For different good and bad reasons some likes Malis and some like GSDs. That's all.

Looks like they like mals more for most types of work. As someone suggested, the only way to change that is to get the show line people interested in mals.
I think mals look beautiful
