I am the current owner of a 4 month old male Malinois puppy from Mason's Kennels in Blue Mountain, MS.
This was my first experience in dealing with a breeder online & first time owning a Mal. In both cases I
couldn't be happier with my decision. Let me start by telling you a few things that pop in my head when I
think of Bill Mason....honest, hardworking, trustworthy, dedicated, family man...He truly is just a great
person who loves what he does and he truly loves his dogs and takes great pride & care in each and every
litter. He absolutely stands out from other breeders in my mind for his knowledge of the breed,his training
knowledge & just how easy he is to talk to. I was a bit leary about finding a dog from an online breeder but
from the first time I spoke with Bill he quickly put my mind at ease. He is dedicated to his dogs and their
breeding and their litters. He kept me informed of the puppies progress every step with e-mails, phone calls
and pictures...and to do this for every of the prospective puppy owners is a lot of work to say the least! My
puppy was from a litter of 10 gorgeous healthy pups. I cannot go anywhere with him from the time I got him
at 8 weeks old till now without people doing double takes and stopping me to ask what kind of "gorgeous
creature" is that? He excels in everything he has done so far for such a young guy! He is a solid, strong,
healthy puppy that has drive out of this world and continues to shock and amaze people with how attentive,
focused and what a quick study he is. I already know that whatever I choose to do with this puppy in the
future whether it be protection, tracking, sport...he will be at the top of his class. I would absolutely
recommend Bill & his kennels to anyone I know that is interested in owning a Malinois, learning more
about the breed or for training. He will always be upfront and honest and answer any questions you may have.
You will be in the best of hands with Mason's Kennels.

I went to Blue Mountain, Ms to look at some working Malinios. I wasn't going down there to buy
anything, just to look around. I was very impressed with the professional trainers I met and mostly
the dogs they were working. Luckily for me they had one pup left.I spent about 3 hours visiting
and working dogs and they helped me work my amstaff. I bought a female pup from them. I
expected a little bit of shyness from her when I brought her to our home, but I just haven't seen it
yet. Last night she slept in a crate at the foot of our bed, no crying nothing just a very confident
relaxed puppy with drive out of this world

Hi Bill,
John from NH here, I got one of the female puppies from Mason and Mason's Kate litter. I just wanted to
give you an update an thank you for such a great puppy, I just could not be more pleased. I named her Mia
and she just completed puppy obedience with honors. She is extremely alert and aware with a strong desire
to please. She is praised by the vet as being very healthy, nearly 40 lbs at almost 4 months (38 right now)
and every where we go she gets compliments on her temperament and behavior for such a young puppy. She
is well socialized with people children and dogs without any problems. I attached a few pictures of her
playing in the snow, she absolutely loves it and just doesn't quit, great drive. Thanks again, John

Hannah got off the plane on Jan. 27th and effectively "owned" me by the 28th. This puppy knew what a heel was
at eight weeks; there was no need to teach her--it is ingrained in her. I have never had a more loyal dog--and we
have had a few over the course of our lifetimes. This is no ordinary dog we have here. She is extremely focused,
and without having gone to "kindergarten" yet, knows pretty much all the basic training commands, right on
down to a two-minute "down-stay". We put a pile of her toys in front of her and make a game out of "go get" the
right one, by name. Hannah can consistently pick out by name-- correctly--at least ten toys, come and drop. She
was housetrained in three days, at eight weeks. Lead and crate- trained within the same week,. At 13 weeks, she
is now attempting to open doorknobs on her own, brings me her leash--and is meeting the mail carrier at the box
and bringing in the mail with a soft mouth. We also don't get many possums down here near Fort Lauderdale,
but one one of our late night before-bedtime potty runs, she spotted one. About six hours later, when she went
out for her first morning run--she zoned in on the same track that possum had been on. She has a hell of a nose.
Hannah has the nose for scent work, the drive and persistence for work in general, the heart to be a therapy dog.,
the physical acumen for agility. She has the intelligence to wow me by what she obviously has potential for every
single moment we've had with her. She's going to school at four months, so we don't know where she'll best excel
yet--and what she'll love the most---but we know one thing. She'll kick everyone else's butt at go to the head of the
class. We love her to death, and could not ask for a better dog--in absolutely every way.
Thanks so much!

HI BILL AND FAMILY JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SEND SOME PIC'S OF THE MALINOIS GALS. IN
THE SEARCH AND RESCUE WORLD I LIVE IN I COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER BREED OR A
BETTER BREEDER. I HAVE TRAINED IN SAR WORK FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS, AFTER TRAINING
MY FIRST SAR DOG I FELT LIKE I WAS MISSING SOMETHING. COULD NOT PUT MY FINGER ON IT,
I WAS SO FOCUSED ON MY WORK THAT I CRAVED FOR A STRONGER WORKING PARTNER,
THAT'S WHEN I STARTED LOOKING AT DIFFERENT BREEDS. I LOOKED AT GSD, LAB'S, GOLDENS
AND A FEW OTHER BREEDS THAT ARE COMMON IN SAR WORK. BUT THE BELGIAN BREED
CAUGHT MY EYE. SO I RESEARCHED THIS BREED, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THIS BREED HAD
EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR. I FOUND MASON'S KENNEL ON THE WEB SITE AND DECIDED
TO CHECK HIM OUT. I HAVE TO SAY HIM AND HIS FAMILY ARE GREAT PEOPLE. THEY HAVE
NOTHING TO HIDE, THEY ARE DOWN TO EARTH AND BILL'S GOAL IS TO BREED THE BEST OF
THE BEST. I DID PURCHASE A FEMALE PUP FROM HIM. SHE WENT ON TO BE AN AKC
CONFIRMATION CHAMPION WITHIN 18 MONTHS, SHE ALSO IS A SAR K-9 PARTNER. NEEDLESS TO
SAY SHE LIVES WITH HER HANDLER THAT LOVES HER. SO I PURCHASED ANOTHER FEMALE PUP
FROM THE SAME PARENTS I NAMED HER TUNDRA. MASON'S TUNDRA IS A VERY STRONG GAL,
HER WORK ETHIC IS NON-STOP. I STARTED HER IN TRACKING/MAN TRAILING. WITHIN 12
MONTHS SHE PASSED HER CERTIFICATION WITH NNDDA. THEN WENT ON 6 MONTHS LATER
PASSED HER CERT. WITH NOCDS. SHE WAS THE ONLY K-9 TO PASS AT THIS SAR SEMINAR IN
MANTRAILING. SHE IS JUST A NATURAL. SHE CAN ACE A 14 HOUR OLD TRAIL WITHOUT A
PROBLEM. I COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER K-9 PARTNER. HAD HER HIPS OFA, SHE RATED
GOOD. MASON'S ROSA, WELL SHE WENT OFF TO THE AKC CONFIRMATION SHOW FOR ABOUT 9
MONTHS. SHE DID NOT DO AS WELL AS WE THOUGHT SHE WOULD SO I GOT HER BACK AT
ABOUT 18 MONTHS OF AGE. AFTER TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT JOB SHE NEEDED I STARTED
WITH HELP OF A GOOD FRIEND TO DO HRD (HUMAN REMAINS DETECTION) OR CADAVER.
AFTER 6 MONTHS OF TRAINING THIS GIRL SHE SOLVED HER FIRST CASE AND WITHIN A WEEK
LATER HELPED IN SOLVING ANOTHER CASE. SHE FINDS HER SOURCE "DOWNS" THEN WILL
TOUCH WITH FRONT PAW, ALL THIS FOR JUST A TENNIS BALL. SHE ALSO IS A VERY STRONG
WORKING GIRL. SHE HAS GREAT BALL AND HUNT DRIVE. I DID HAVE HER HIPS/ELBOWS OFA
THEY CAME BACK AS GOOD/NORMAL. MASON'S LAKOTA, WELL CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT
THIS LITTLE GIRL. SHE IS NOW 15 MONTHS OLD. I STARTED HER ON HRD OR CADAVER AT 8
WEEKS OLD. SHE HAS HAD IT MASTERED FROM DAY ONE. SHE HAS GREAT BALL AND HUNT
DRIVE. SHE IS ONLY ABOUT 40 LBS WHICH IS GREAT FOR HER TYPE OF WORK, SHE CAN FIT IN
SMALL PLACES. LOVES WATER SO THAT MADE IT EASY FOR US TO WORK NOT ONLY LAND
CADAVER BUT WATER CADAVER AS WELL. SHE HAS A NATURAL INDICATION WHEN SHE FINDS
HER SOURCE, SHE WILL FREEZE THEN DOWN AND GIVE THE STARE AS YOU CAN SEE IN HER
PIC'S. SHE IS SO DEVOTED TO HER WORK. SHE IS THE K-9 PARTNER I WOULD WATCH THAT
OTHER HANLDERS HAD AND WOULD DREAM ABOUT HAVING ONE DAY. THIS LITTLE GIRL HAS
ALSO SOLVED HER FIRST CASE IN FEB 2007 AND A WEEK LATER HELPED IN SOLVING ANOTHER
CASE. I HAVE TO MENTION THE 2 CASES THAT BOTH MY HRD MALINOIS GALS WORKED. FIRST
COLD CASE WAS A PERSON BEEN MISSING FOR 3 YEARS. NOBODY HAD A CLUE TO WHAT
HAPPENED TO THIS PERSON. WELL CASE HAD BEEN REOPENED I GOT CALLED IN WITH K-9
PARTNERS TO SEARCH AN AREA SHORE LINE AT A LAKE. LAKOTA WORKED IT FIRST AND
COVERED MOST OF THE 5 ACRE AREA, WITHIN 5 MIN GAVE ME HER INDICATION ABOUT 12
INCH FROM SHORE LINE. WE FINISHED THE LAND AREA AND K-9 THEN WENT BACK TO THE
SAME AREA GAVE ANOTHER INDICATION ABOUT 8 INCH DEEP IN THE WATER. I THEN TOOK
OUT ROSA,IT WAS ALMOST THE SAME PATTERN. I EVEN LEFT THE AREA CAME IN FROM
ANOTHER ANGLE, ROSA STILL IN THE SAME AREA IN THE WATER GAVE HER INDICATION. SHE
EVEN SLAP THE WATER WITH HER PAW. AFTER 2 DAYS OF THE GROUND SEARCH TEAM
COVERING THE AREA THEY SENT DIVERS IN THE LAKE. THEY DID LOCATE THE MISSING PERSON
STILL STRAP IN HIS SEATBELT IN THE VEHICLE IN THE LAKE. SECOND CASE WAS PERSON
MISSING FOR 20 YEARS, THIS CASE IS STILL UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION SO I CAN NOT
MENTION DETAILS BUT BOTH MAL GALS GAVE ME A POSITIVE INDICATION ON THE LOCATION
OF THE REMAINS. JOB WELL DONE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY THAT COULD BUY THESE
MALINOIS GALS, BUT I WILL SAY THAT IF I EVER LOSE ONE I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO CALL
BILL AND LET HIM PICK OUT ANOTHER WORKING MALINOIS GAL FOR ME.

"I have been in K9 SAR for 7 years and my original dog was getting ready to retire. I researched many breeds to decide on
my next dog. I met a bomb dog for the THP who was a mal and was very impressed and decided to go with that breed. I
called and spoke to Bill and he was excellent, answering all of my questions and listening to what type of dog I was
looking for based on the SAR requirements. He emailed me photos of two puppes and I chose Maggie. >From the very
start she has been beyond exceptional. Everything I have asked her to do she has learned with speed and precision. I am
using her to do air scent disaster SAR work. We recently returned from the FEMA K9 Search Specialist course at the
TEEX Disaster City. Maggie was 10 months old and performed excellent. During an exercise towards the end of the week
she located two victims in a 5,000 square foot rubble pile with a robust bark alert in under 10 minutes. Her prey drive
and search capabilities have proven outstanding to date. Her first SAR mission occurred in late March 2007 where she
alerted in and out of the water at a lake and the victim was located, still alive, less than 50 yards away hiding underneath
a tree in the water. At home she is extremely sociable, working well with all size and breeds of dogs and is great with
children. If left alone she will climb to the top of the highest obstacle outside or in the house. On the agility course I let
her out of the truck and she climbs on everything on her own, seeking out the higher and more mobile elements. I give
Bill Mason the highest recommendations because the dog that he selects for you if you cannot be there in person will be
tailor fit to your needs. A co-worker also purchased a puppy from Bill that is now 4 months old and is well on his way to
preparing for SAR work. These are outstanding working dogs.
Thank you! God bless, Melissa

Mason’s Sage & Mason’s Eve
Owner: Morgan Pierce
When I made the decision to get back into dog training I knew that I wanted
a jump start into it. So after much research and deliberation I decided to
attend the Tom Rose School. With the high demands of this school I knew I
would need a great dog to get me through it. After talking to many breeders
I purchased my first Malinois from Bill Mason in December of 2006.
In four months, at the ripe age of 7 months, Mason’s Sage successfully
completed training and testing for AKC Agility, Novice and Open. She also
tested for the BH, Schutzhund I (OB), Schutzhund II (OB), narcotics, and
protection (French Ring). With the demands of school and the age
restrictions on the various competitions she is being trained for, she hasn’t
competed yet but she is completely prepared to compete and win in AKC and
Schutzhund, and soon French Ring. But wait, there’s more! I purchased a second puppy
from Bill Mason to fulfill my remaining requirements at the school, and also because I
completely and totally fell in love with Bill Mason’s Malinois! I had a
short amount of time to prepare Mason’s Eve, but she rose to the occasion
and completed an AKC Novice routine, as well as a Schutzhund I track, and
and physically capable of handling anything you can throw at them, look no further than
Mason’s Kennels. You won’t be disappointed!Mason’s Kennels. You won’t be disappointed!

Mason's Weiland
Owner: Chris Burke and Jane Copland
We are the owners of Weiland, an eleven month old Malinois from Mason's Kennels, and we
couldn't be more delighted with our "little puppy"! He is our first dog, and obviously our first
Malinois, and he's caused us to fall in love with the breed. Loving, loyal, intelligent, energetic
and with a fantastic personality, Weiland has been very special to us from the moment we laid
eyes on him. Our experience with Mason's Kennels has been wonderful; we received
numerous photos of the pups and we felt that care was taken in choosing which puppy would
be ours. Bill Mason put a lot of effort into getting Weiland from Mississippi to Seattle, making
sure Weiland was ready to fly a long distance, and driving through the night from his home to
Memphis airport to put Weiland on an early flight up to Seattle. Weiland is a great dog. He
runs with me every morning and appears to absolutely love it. Often, people will stop me in the
street and tell me how good looking he is; most people tend to use the word "handsome"!
We're constantly amazed and delighted by his vigilance, his love for us and his interest in his
surroundings. On his first day at our house, aged 7 weeks, he barked at our stereo speakers
when we turned on the television! However, after a quick investigation of the room, he decided
that the noise coming from the speakers was no problem and went back to playing with his
new toys. Needless to say, we were incredibly impressed. He is currently sleeping next to me
on the sofa after a long day of running, playing with numerous toys, behaving well for cookies,
and riding in the car (which is, apparently, incredibly exciting!). Soon, we'll be ready to get
another dog and we'll definitely want another Mal from Mason's Kennels. We're so pleased we
came across Bill Mason and his dogs, as our experience has been 100% wonderful.

My passion is training great working dogs in the competitive dog sport called Schutzhund. In
my search for a young competition prospect I contacted my friend Bill Mason. With Bill’s help I
acquired Mason’s Nero, a young, over the top, dominant male Malinois from Mason’s Kennels.
Like many of Mason’s Malinois can be, Nero was more dog than his original owners were
prepared to handle. Although his temperament is very sound, he had learned how to assert
his dominance and was becoming unmanageable in his original home. Nero requires an
experienced trainer / handler to keep his life busy and his environment structured. If you are
considering a Malinois from Mason’s Kennels and do not have experience with this breed, I
strongly encourage you to seek assistance from a competent trainer who knows Malinois.
Nero was barely 9 months old when we began training. Nero has VERY extreme ball, hunt,
and food drive, which is instrumental to his training successes. Additionally, Nero has very
high active aggression, which is clearly exhibited in the protection phase of Schutzhund and
makes him a top competition prospect. Nero is 19 months old at the time of this writing. In the
10 months that I have owned Nero we have accomplished the following:
Trained K9Dogworks Demonstration Dog. Achieved Competition Level Schutzhund
Obedience. Completed Dan Reiter’s Passive Alert Narcotics Detection Seminar.
Participated in the SMSPC U.S.A. Helper Certification Seminar.
Earned the Begleithunde “BH” Schutzhund Title. Earned SchH 1 - Schutzhund 1 Working Title.
Earned SchH 2 - Schutzhund 2 Working Title. Is in training now for SchH 3 competition level
Schutzhund trial work. I am looking forward to a long and successful competition career with
Nero. I also purchased two more Malinois puppies from Bill Mason, both are now in training for
Schutzhund and are great prospects. I can assure you that if you are looking for an
exceptional working dog, Bill Mason understands your needs and is producing it through his
breeding program. Good Luck!

my search for a young competition prospect I contacted my friend Bill Mason. With Bill’s help I
acquired Mason’s Nero, a young, over the top, dominant male Malinois from Mason’s Kennels.
Like many of Mason’s Malinois can be, Nero was more dog than his original owners were
prepared to handle. Although his temperament is very sound, he had learned how to assert
his dominance and was becoming unmanageable in his original home. Nero requires an
experienced trainer / handler to keep his life busy and his environment structured. If you are
considering a Malinois from Mason’s Kennels and do not have experience with this breed, I
strongly encourage you to seek assistance from a competent trainer who knows Malinois.

Mason's Jinx
Owner: Walter Vinson
Bill,
I just want to take a few minutes and write you about a pup I purchased from
you 2 years ago (Mason's Jinx). I have nothing but good things to say about
Jinx. He has turn out to be an outstanding police dog. I have had nothing but
great comments about his drive. He has an incredible hunt, and ball drive. I
have seen him on more than one occasion hunt or run himself to the point of
exhaustion and have to be made to lay down before he collapsed. Jinx is very
social dog, but has a very serious no nonsense side to him too. Jinx has been
working the road with me for almost a full year now. He was certified last
November when he was about a year and half old. He was from the Mason /
Katie litter June of 2007. Sorry it took so long to give you an update, but
better late then never. Truly Grateful, Walter Vinson
Hi Bill, I purchased one of your puppies back in January and I have to say this is one of
the best dogs I have owned. Always full of energy unless you really drain her and
always shows a caring, fun and fantastic personality. You were spot on when you said
she has a lot of personality and drive, and let me tell you, she has lots of both. Overall I
am very pleased with this dog and would with out hesitation buy another one of your
puppies in the future. I always tell people who ask about her about this breed and you
and where I got her from and that is was worth every bit. I also always mention how
good she is with other animals, people to include kids. Attached is a picture of her,
Thanks again, Nate Ward

Hi Bill,
Just wanted to let you know that Dream got her BH last weekend and yes we could have
had it @ 15 months but decided to wait for our club to have a trail again! She is such a
great all around dog. She does great in protection but then when we leave the field she is
such a sweet easy dog. The pictures are of Dream the Judge and myself getting our
trophies. She is such a joy and I am so happy to have her as a part of my life.
Thanks, Sandy Hayes and Dream Catcher

Owner: Sandy Hayes
Dear Bill,
I'd like to express my gratitude for Mason's Neco. He has performed beyond my expectations. He is a dual purpose dog,
and very good at what he does. Neco excels in apprehension, drugs, area search, article search and obedience. I could
not have gotten a better dog. He shows no fear and is strong willed with good nerves. I plan on purchasing another puppy,
and I will be purchasing it from you. Nobody could ask for a better line of Belgian Malinois, their performance is
outstanding. During training I was asked by the trainer to demonstrate Neco's abilities from the age of 5 months til present
day as a fine example of a well trained dog. Neco never ceases to amaze me with his intelligence and instinct. For
example, one night he tracked a suspect and located him hiding in a tree, I was truly amazed and proud of him. I couldn't
ask for a better dog and friend.
Thank you again and I will definitely recommend your kennel each and every time someone talks about purchasing a good
Belgian Malinois. I have attached a few photos of Neco at 16 months old for you to enjoy.
Sincerely, Frank Crumb

Mason's Shock
Owner: Morgan
Hey!
I bought Shock from you on my way to TRS last January and I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing working
dog. She had more drive than my entire class and she was the only dog biting the sleeve by the time we left St Louis.
Out of the 19 people in my class, we were one of 7 that graduated. She has done everything I've thrown at her
amazingly and I couldn't ask for a better mal. A friend of mine from school saw her and recently bought a pup from you,
and I apologize for taking so long to update you on Shock. We are currently training for PSA and Schutzhund, but I
pretty much take her everywhere with me. She is my personal salesman as far as it goes to selling training packages.
Shes a goof but when we get to working she's the real deal just like you said she'd be. Attached is a picture of her at
about 6 months old that i figure you'd appreciate haha.
I hope everything is going well with you guys and again thanks for the awesome dog!
