Plain-English summary
A 7-month-old Belgian Shepherd Malinois was diagnosed with hemophilia A, a genetic bleeding disorder that affects the dog's ability to clot blood. The owner noticed unusual bleeding, which led to a series of diagnostic tests to confirm the condition. While hemophilia A is rare in this breed, the case highlights the importance of awareness and monitoring for genetic disorders. The treatment plan focused on managing the symptoms and reducing the risk of bleeding episodes.

Abstract
This case report presents a Belgian Shepherd Malinois dog affected by hemophilia A recognized at the age of seven months. The clinical follow-up including all the diagnostic procedures leading to the final diagnosis and the course of this disorder are presented. This is a typical proband case demonstrating the appearance of this genetic disease in a breed never involved by this coagulation disorder so far documented that started an intensive and laborious plan to reduce the incidence of hemophilia A and the further appearance of new cases.
