Welcome Connor Case to Huffman K9!

We’re excited to officially introduce our newest trainer, Connor Case.

Connor recently retired from the U.S. Army and went on to complete our Huffman K9 Obedience Train-the-Trainer Program with flying colors. His dedication, work ethic, and natural ability with dogs made him stand out immediately, and we are proud to announce that he has accepted a position here as a Huffman K9 trainer.

Not only will you continue to see Connor around the property, but you may also have the opportunity to work directly with him. Connor is a professional K9 handler, partnered with his certified explosives detection dog, Skip. Together, they have demonstrated outstanding performance in the field.

Beyond Huffman K9, Connor serves as a member of the CHAIS National Deployment SAR Team, bringing his skills and commitment to disaster response missions across the country. He also continues his service as a member of the Oregon Army National Guard, further exemplifying his dedication to community and country.

We are honored to welcome this outstanding human being into our training family, and we’re excited for the impact he will have on our clients, our dogs, and our mission.

Please join us in giving Connor a warm Huffman K9 welcome!

URGENT: Help Us Save Duke’s Life

Meet Duke. He’s a 4-year-old blue heeler whose story is close to ending before it should. Duke has a bite history with his former family, and because of that, he was scheduled to be put down within the week.

We’ve had Duke in our care for several days now, and what we’ve seen convinces us that his life doesn’t have to end here. He is healthy, up-to-date on all of his shots, and has so much potential in the right hands.

Duke has never shown aggression toward children, but because of his history and his need for structure, we recommend a home without kids. He will do best with someone who can give him engaged leadership, clear communication, consistent boundaries, and daily fulfillment through meaningful work and exercise.

Not everyone can take on a dog like Duke—but for the right person, he could be incredible. He’s steady, stoic, and just waiting for someone who understands him and is willing to invest in him.

We are pleading for Duke. He doesn’t deserve for his story to end like this. If you or someone you know has the ability, the patience, and the heart to give Duke the stability he needs, please reach out. Sharing this post could be the thing that saves his life. Are you or someone that you know the right person for him? DM us with interest or questions.

How to Freak Out a Detection Handler in Two Easy Steps:

1️⃣ Tell them they can’t use a leash, collar, e-collar, harness—or any equipment at all. Just their voice and directional commands.
2️⃣ Then casually mention that the water their dog is standing in is so contaminated it would kill their dog if they take a drink.

Welcome to the world of disaster deployments.

These aren’t clean, controlled training fields. This is real-world chaos.
🌪 Hurricane Helene.
🏚 Heavy structure collapse.
🌊 Toxic floodwaters.
No second chances. No do-overs.

At Huffman K9 we train detection teams for organizations like .h.a.i.s_ and to operate in the worst of conditions to bring families hope, closure, protection and justice. Dogs like Tulip and Lira don’t just search—they save and they provide closure to devastated communities while risking their lives to help.

Want to support the .h.a.i.s_ mission? Help them to train, equip, and deploy more life-saving teams.

IMPORTANT PLEASE SHARE! LONG POST!

Someone very important to us just received a second chance at life. Nancy has been friends with my wife since high school. She received her first transplant more than 10 years ago which was a miracle in of itself. Unfortunately COVID happened, and Nancy went into organ rejection after contracting it. She waited over 4 years on the transplant list praying for the call that there was a match. At the final hour our prayers were finally answered. After being on life support for several weeks Nancy received her second double lung transplant today.

Nancy has been in the care of her mother through all of this and when Nancy got admitted to UW Medical Center in Seattle her mom closed her salon to stay by her side 24/7. This GoFundMe is to help pay for medical expenses associated with this surgery and to help support her mom and her through this.

Please share and spread the word. God is good, all the time. Miracles do happen. Today was proof that prayers do get answered.

Her go fund me link is as follows (I’ll also put it in my bio)
