揭秘:世界上最聪明的狗狗品种并非边牧,而是比利时马犬!

你知道世界上最聪明的狗

是比利时的马犬吗?














International Dog Day


明天(8月26日)是国际爱狗日。你还不认识我们来自比利时的好朋友?实际上,在比利时“特产和强项”列表里,经常缺少的就是马利诺斯牧羊犬(在中文中俗称马犬)!


马犬又名比利时牧羊犬,赫尔辛基大学的科学家们宣布,他们是世界上最聪明的狗。大多数人认为边境牧羊犬是智商最高的犬种。然而,最近的研究表明并非如此。总体而言,马在smartDOG认知测试中表现最佳。共有来自13个不同品种的1002只狗完成了10项不同的测试。其中,七项测试侧重于认知特征,三项测试侧重于行为。结果显示,马犬在大多数测试中都名列前茅。除了嗅觉异常发达之外,它还拥有一系列积极的性格特征,包括敏锐的智慧、细心、勇敢、乐于工作、坚韧、警惕和忠诚。在这项调查中,边境牧羊犬名列第二。拉布拉多犬和金毛寻回猎犬位居第三。



Tomorrow (26th August) is the International Dog Day. Let’s learn more about our best friends from Belgium! What is often missing in any list of Belgium's key assets and of things that Belgium does best is the Malinois sheepdog!


Malinois, also known as the Belgian Shepherd, was declared the most intelligent dog in the world by scientists from the University of Helsinki. Most people think that Border Collie is the most intelligent dog breed. However, recent research shows otherwise. Overall, Malinois come out as the top performers in the so-called smartDOG cognition test. A total of 1,002 dogs from 13 different breeds completed 10 different tests. Of these, seven tests focused on cognitive traits and three on behaviour. Top of the class for most turned out to be the Malinois. In addition to his exceptionally highly developed sense of smell, he possesses a range of positive character traits, including keen intelligence, attentiveness, courage, willingness to work, tenacity, vigilance, and loyalty. In this survey, Border Collie was placed a creditable second. The Labrador and Golden Retriever came third.

19世纪末,许多不同类型的牧羊犬帮助比利时和荷兰地区的农民和牧羊人驱赶羊群。1891年,马犬首次在梅赫伦市周边地区繁殖。1898年,短毛马犬改良俱乐部成立,并开始对其梦寐以求的特征进行筛选。短毛牧羊犬的颜色只是事后才想到的。另一方面,决定性的因素是外观和能力的结合:体格健壮、训练有素、精力充沛、嗅觉灵敏的护卫犬和服务犬。


In the late 19th century, many sheepdogs of various types helped farmers and shepherds drive their flocks in Belgium and the Netherlands region. Malinois Sheepdogs were first bred in the district around the city of Mechelen in 1891. In 1898, the Malinois Club for the Improvement of the Shorthaired Sheepdog was founded and began selecting for the coveted traits. The colour of the shorthaired shepherd was an afterthought. On the other hand, what was decisive was the combination of appearance and capability: well-built and well-trained, spirited guard/defence and service dogs with an excellent sense of smell.



长期以来,比利时和国外的警察部队一直用德国牧羊犬进行追踪、安全巡逻和执行与毒品有关的任务,但近十年来,马犬已逐渐取代德牧,成为全球第一警犬。相当多的德牧患有髋关节和背部疾病,而马犬则更加聪明、勇敢和柔顺,不会因为高强度的繁殖配种而患上典型的疾病。马犬也是比利时联邦警察警犬支援处主要使用的犬种,它还吸引了德国警察部队和美国特种部队的注意。

你知道吗?2011年,一只马犬被宣布为美国海豹突击队的大英雄,因为它帮忙抓到了本拉登。


你在中国或比利时见过马犬吗?可以把它们的照片发给我们!


For a long time, police forces in Belgium and abroad used the German Shepherd dog for tracking purposes, security patrols, and drug-related assignments, but for ten years now, the Malinois Sheepdog has been steadily overtaking it as the number one police dog worldwide. Quite a few German Shepherd dogs suffer from hip and back problems, while Malinois are much more intelligent, courageous, and supple and do not suffer from the typical ailments that are the result of intensive breeding. The Malinois is also the breed that is mainly used by the Dog Support Service of the Belgian Federal Police, and it is also attracting the attention of police forces in Germany and the American Special Forces.


By the way, a Malinois was declared the big hero of the US Navy Seals in 2011, for he helped capture Osama Bin Laden.


Have you seen a Malinois in China or in Belgium? Can you send us a picture of them?
