You would need to have a DNA test done to be certain of the breed.

From the pictures I would say yes. You can always have a DNA test done to be sure

I too agree that your fur baby is a Belgian Malinois, from the size, to the look. But to know for sure, you would have to have a DNA done.

Looks like he could be! He definitely has the markings and slight build of a BM.

Your puppy is very cute! I think he's a Belgian malinois.
Your puppy's weight matches the approximate weight of a Belgian Malinois at this age (weight is slightly higher than in this chart, but this is normal for a male dogfoodsmart.com/.../).

The American Kennel Club describes the breed as follows: "Belgian Malinois are squarely built, proud, and alert herders standing 22 to 26 inches. Strong and well-muscled, but more elegant than bulky, there's an honest, no-frills look about them, as befit dogs built to work hard for their feed. A breed hallmark is the proud carriage of the head. Coat colors range from a rich fawn to mahogany. The black ears and mask accentuate bright, questioning eyes the color of dark Belgian chocolate . If you have ever seen a Mal perform an obedience routine, you know firsthand what a smart and eager breed this is. Problems set in, though, when this people-oriented dog is underemployed and neglected. Exercise, and plenty of it, preferably side by side with their adored owner, is key to Mal happiness.

If you still have doubts, then do a DNA test.
