Meet Riley
Breeder, trainer and competitor — dedicated to producing working dogs that are as balanced as they are capable.
A home-raised program in Pahrump, Nevada
Wachhund Kennels was founded in 2022 with one goal: breed dogs that excel in work and sport while remaining confident, balanced companions.
Riley breeds Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds selected for workability, intelligence and athleticism — never at the expense of health or temperament. Her breeding dogs live in her home and in trusted guardian homes, and they earn their place by training and competing in French Ring, Dock Diving, Fast CAT and Scent Work.
Alongside breeding, Riley trains puppies and adult dogs, including raising a Belgian Malinois from 8 weeks to 8 months through French Ring, environmental exposure and service dog training.
I’m Riley D., the breeder behind Wachhund Kennels in Pahrump, NV. Our dogs are bred with workability, intelligence and athleticism in mind, while still focusing on health and stable temperaments. Our goal is to produce dogs that excel in work and sport while remaining confident, balanced companions.
Our dogs are placed primarily in dedicated working and sport homes, with select puppies occasionally placed in active family homes that can meet their physical and mental needs.
