Some years back my wife and I were standing in my back field in Minnesota watching our Mal. fly like those dogs. She was sailing across an open flat space looking like the brag I've heard, "A Malinois can beat a man to the draw from thirty paces, fastest guard dog alive!" We noticed one of our female Fila Brasileiro's in pursuit of the Mal..
Well what came next was unexpected. The much slower appearing, relaxed run of the Fila caught the Mal. in no time. To add insult to injury of the Mal. reputation the Fila grabbed her by the tail and flipped her as she ran.
Mal.'s are fast and agile, but not so much as they appear. Do enough of those climbs and jumps and they break, we all would. They also lack the steadiness of many working breeds, like the Airedale. I have trained many and would not own one and did not keep the very impressive to the public one I had back then. Just to flaky.

My pitbulls would do similar - they would take the short route to intersect a dog they were playing chase with, and grab a foreleg at the pastern. End result was dog head over its heels and onto its back!
Dogs do learn and show off their new tricks too - later we'd see the dogs our pitbull had flipped in that manner, doing the same to other dogs that didn't know the trick.
