The most common Malinois color. Fawn with a black mask is the breed standard and most widely recognized.

Solid black Malinois are uncommon. Their sleek, deep black coat gives them a powerful and commanding appearance.

This light cream color is extremely rare. It may come with a pale mask or none at all — not typical for show standards.

Malinois show extended black around the ears and forehead — a double-mask effect that enhances their intense gaze.

Deep reddish-brown, or mahogany, Malinois stand out. Though striking, it’s still on the rarer side of the spectrum.

Brindle Belgian Malinois are very rare. Their coat shows dark stripes on a lighter background, creating a tiger-like look.

All standard Malinois have a black mask regardless of their body coat. It adds intensity and character to their expressive face.

Tan Malinois resemble fawn but appear lighter with a warmer tone. This subtle difference still keeps the black mask feature.
