Purpose-bred partners
Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd puppies from health-tested, titled parents — raised with intention and placed with care.
Workability without compromise
Our dogs are bred for workability, intelligence and athleticism, while staying focused on health and stable temperament.
The goal is to produce dogs that excel in work and sport while remaining confident, balanced companions. Wachhund puppies are placed primarily in dedicated working and sport homes, with select puppies placed in active family homes that can meet their physical and mental needs.
These are high-drive breeds. We take the time to make sure every puppy lands in a home where it will truly thrive.
Colors & coats
Colors and coats vary depending on the parents of each litter.
Belgian Malinois
Fast, driven and endlessly capable — the Malinois thrives in sport, protection and service work, and needs an owner ready to keep up.
German Shepherd
Loyal, intelligent and versatile — a true working dog with the stability and off-switch to be a devoted family guardian.
Meet the parents
Our breeding dogs live in Riley’s home and in trusted guardian homes, and they prove themselves in sport and real life.
Prince
Training in French Ring and actively competing in Dock Diving, Fast CAT and Scent Work. Exceptionally stable with a clear, level head — social and trustworthy with children, adults, other dogs and small animals, with an excellent off-switch.
Paisley
Paisley has earned her CGCA, CGCU, BCAT, SDN, SDA and TDI titles and is working toward dock diving titles. She loves hikes and outings just as much as quiet time with her people.
Mi Mi
A Canine Good Citizen with the steady, people-loving temperament we look for in every dog in our program.
Healthy dogs start with healthy parents
We test our breeding dogs to reduce the chance of passing on hereditary conditions.
Ask about the specific tests performed on the parents of any litter — we’re happy to share results.
- Hip Dysplasia — OFA / PennHIP finals to protect lifelong joint function
- Elbow Dysplasia — OFA finals to reduce the risk of arthritis and lameness
- Degenerative Myelopathy — DM / SOD1A genetic screening
- Full Embark Panel — screening for a wide range of hereditary diseases
- Temperament Testing — because a sound mind matters as much as a sound body
A strong start from day one
Every puppy is evaluated around 6 weeks of age for temperament, drive and overall energy level — so we can match the right puppy to the right home.
