SOLD 😈

Thrilled to have sold Havarti vom Steyerberg (Airick Wiki Isabela x Kaily von der Schillerstraße). He isn’t leaving our place just yet, as he is with us for the next several weeks to lay a good sport foundation while his new owners enjoy their honeymoon! He will also remain nearby and continue training with us and his new people, so stay tuned to watch him thrive!

Big thanks to who continues to breed nothing short of exceptional dogs, and trusting us with placing him in an excellent home.

If you’re in the market for your next dog - whether a companion, sport dog, or protection dog - reach out to us to get started!

Bittersweet, thrilled, excited, you name it - Aspen went to her new home with one of the kindest people I’ve met, yesterday and I’m genuinely stoked to see how this relationships flourishes. Completely unexpected but once the opportunity presented itself, I couldn’t say no. Congratulations to Aspen and on starting this new chapter together! 💜

Big thanks as always to our friends over at for helping us put together the tastiest (and most fun) go-home bag for Aspeeen & Maeve. We also made sure she was decked out with . Safety first!

If you are still looking to add the perfect four legged pup to your family, reach out. We currently have 4 available dogs for placement.

Hopefully everyone can see this but here's a chart that shows the differences between each system. 💛 Which one's your favorite and why?

Happy TENTH birthday to my first competition dog, Zeus! I use that term loosely as we were both babies learning (and let’s be honest, we still are because the learning never ends). We did some Agility, Rally Obedience, and Competitive Obedience together. We earned our Good Neighbor and Trick titles, too. He now lives with my parents but visits my house often - this also means, not only is he retired but also absolutely went backwards with his training 😂

AVAILABLE… On top of our “usual” stock of available dogs right now, we are helping two families re-home their very well trained dogs (and cats!) currently. If you are in the market for a new family member, please reach out. We’d love to hear from you! We have quite a few dogs at various stages of training (green to fully trained) and several breeds (Malinois, Dutchie’s and Dobermans). The cats we are helping rehome are from show lines and good with dogs, as well.

It’s been more quiet than normal on our social media, and that’s because we have a new little addition - and it’s not another dog!

Beau Wild Chircop was born 2/26/24 and is the newest addition to our household and we couldn’t be more in love with him.

Bare with us as we transition in to this new chapter, however don’t be shy to inquire. Contrary to popular belief, we’re lucky to have plenty of help around here which means services haven’t stopped, we’re just making some slight adjustments! Our dogs, the boarding dogs, and the Board & Trains are all doing excellent with having baby Beau around!

Ps. Big thank you to for the sweetest Malinois stuffy 🤍

We’ve had such a busy 2 months since the holidays started, but it’s bittersweet to say it’s “officially” all done. Between Thanksgiving, my moms birthday, Christmas, New Years, my baby shower, and more - it’s been so much fun seeing so many friends and family come from near and far (literally 6 of those came from out of the country)! 🇨🇦

The last of our out-of-town visitors ( & ) left last night and now the next thing on the agenda is to continue working and then pop this baby out!

Enjoy these two pics of our Pancake (available), our Sitka, ’s Beau, ’s Nova, ’s Myra, and our Liška on one of the many adventure trails everyone got to go on this past weekend! 🍂

Starting the week off on a high note ✨

Bali was Magenta from our A Litter and she was returned to us (due to no fault of her own) and the end of September. A few days ago, starting the New Year off with excitement, she went to her new home! After many many applications, these two amazing humans stood out - quite literally the perfect home for her.

Congratulations to this new trio. I can’t wait to see how she flourishes 🤍

Happy second birthday, Sitka! My little psycho pocket rocket powerhouse who loves all things bitey. Still very much a puppy at heart 🤍 🎈🎂

Going to bed after a great Christmas weekend with the family, grateful for another year with my girl. Happy 7th birthday Liška. Here’s a throwback photo to the best dog on the planet as a baby baby. Who would’ve known all of the incredible things we’d go thru and accomplish together the past 7 years; titles, ribbons, trophies, God knows how many airports and flights, teaching, training, competing, moving to another country, being the foundation to our breeding program, having a litter, being there when I got married and pregnant, snuggled when I needed it the most, and so so so much more. My true ride or die. Another year with you is the best Christmas gift! 🎄🎁 🎈

A very happy belated 3rd birthday to PPD Cheerio (), who we sold a year ago to the best owner ever. His birthday (and the rest of his “C” litter) was November 30th. He is living in Ohio and genuinely a match made in heaven between him and ! They update me often and I always look forward to seeing how they’re doing!
Big thank you to for originally selling him to us as a puppy and trusting us to train him up and place him in a great working home 🤍🎂
Pics from when they both came down to visit us in January!

We’ve scheduled our next heeling workshop for Saturday December 16th @ 10am. Topics will include, but aren’t limited to: teaching the heel command, how to get in to heel, realistic scenario’s, leash management, patterns, and more.
This is a great opportunity to all levels, and we will have 2 trainers available to help and we can tweak as necessary for those who need. This is great practice for those wanting to ensure their heeling skills are where they should be and if not, we will be able to help fine tune where needed. Even if your dog knows all of the above, it’s a great opportunity for you and your dog to get out somewhere different and practice with new distractions.
Drinks and snacks will be available for both humans and dogs.
Where: WK9 HQ (Dade City, 5 mins from the I-75)
When: December 16th 2023 @ 10am
How much: $50 per dog
What to bring: collar, leash, treats or toys (whatever motivates your dog)
Extras: we will also have collars, buckles, and back up clips for purchase.

It’s been so busy around here I can barely keep up with including you all in real-time.
This past weekend we had our quarterly Schutzhund training with Tim Karchnak and had a total blast! I even got to see 6/9 of my puppies.
Can’t wait until the next one! 💪🏼
