My list of priorities for dog breeding Part 1:

1. Health – Mental and physical. Without it, the dog cannot perform the functions listed below.

2. Ability and desire to confront outsiders

3. Ability to distinguish between friends and strangers (clear head and balance) – What does this mean? We love, listen to, and protect our own! 

4. Inappropriate strangers and fools who think they can provoke a dog with impunity, fall on it drunk without consequences, grab its neck or leash without asking, hit it with a whip, scream at or grab the owner... they get bitten without hesitation. Because a stranger is a stranger, and a fighter is a fighter... Every fool gets a Vyatkins Malinois as an opponent. It may sound harsh, but it's honest.

5. Balance between arousal and inhibition – The dog must be able to switch on and off. At work, it’s on fire, sparking hooves... at home, it’s a calm, affectionate companion. If the dog can't relax or switch on, that's an imbalance.
