Anything I would ask my dog to be okay with in the real world starts with asking them to be okay with it in my living room.

Today, Speirs is getting calmly introduced to both the muzzle and K9 litter—a foundation in trauma readiness and desensitization.

I hope we never need them.
But hope isn’t a plan. Preparation is.

When all the girls are in heat, the boys lace up and lean in. 💪☀️L->R Fergus, Speirs (son of Fergus), Kosi
Two miles in 87°F desert sun isn’t exactly a fun run—but that’s exactly why we do it. We run as a unit. We suffer as a team. We grow as a pack.

We work together.
We embrace the suck together.
We get stronger—together.
And no matter what… Dad leads the way. 🐾👣

Friday was a meaningful milestone for us when K9 Speirs at 1 day prior to 22 months old certified with IPCA in explosives detection. I remain incredibly proud of my boy—not just for the effort he puts in, but for the way he carries himself, often reminding me so much of his mother.

Kristi, thank you for your kind words. They truly mean more than you know.

Watching these two brothers grow up has been nothing short of amazing. My best friend and his wife have Jimmy (aka Green Boy). From their first wobbly steps to the strong, driven, and stable dogs they’re becoming—it’s a reminder of why I do what I do.

Same genetics. Same start. But they’ve grown into their own unique personalities, each carving out their own path while still carrying the legacy of the program that produced them.

There’s something incredibly special about watching purposefully bred dogs thrive. It’s the kind of fulfillment that goes deeper than words.

Here’s to brotherhood, good breeding, and the long road ahead 🐾

Intact males and females don’t have to be a nightmare.

My number one goal with every dog I train is stability. Not just obedience. Not just control. Stability.

When you’ve got intact dogs—especially in the same home—you need more than commands. You need structure, teamwork, and a training program that builds emotional regulation, not just reactions.

When the females go into heat, most people brace for chaos. But here? We train through it. We channel that energy into meaningful work. We teach the dogs how to support each other, not stress each other.

If you want this kind of peace and stability in your home, send me a DM.

Let’s build something better—together. All dogs pictured are male and 2 are intact males.

Huffman K9 Decoy Seminar 2025 — photo dump from my first time working Duke. Always a blast stepping in with a new-to-me dog and helping them push through environmental pressure. Duke had to fight his way out of a box truck scenario, and he showed up ready to work. Solid dog, solid reps.

I was hoping this was like a belated April fools post my feed came across or something along those lines. But no it’s a whole profile of this nonsense. There is nothing like continually moving the goal post to explain bad behavior. I wholeheartedly disagree on seeking out a trainer. 🙅‍♂️ Training should be about real, measurable results you can see in the trainer’s own dogs. If they can’t deliver with their pack, why trust them with yours?

That’s exactly why I joined the Huffman K9 community—from client to student to instructor to small‑business owner, I’ve learned from the best on how to build the most stable high‑performing dogs. Now, my mission here in Central Oregon is to build that same powerhouse community of confident, well‑trained pups. 🐕💪

It’s always interesting to see how genetics play out! Speirs and Mazi, the pups of Mnandi and Fergus, are growing into exactly what we hoped for—strong, driven, and balanced working mastiffs. Each generation is a step toward refining structure, temperament, and working ability.

Purposeful breeding isn’t just about the present—it’s about building the future of capable, reliable working dogs.
