Egoli Yetna, purpose bred by us with heavy direct Mizpah blood, living her best life as a full time working Boerboel alongside a hunting & fishing guide in the deep woods of Alaska.

Backpacking out 60+ pounds of fresh hides for miles on end, detecting Grizzly & Black Bears, and many other such tasks are normal day to day life for this young lady.

The long wait is finally over, and our LHK KNPV puppies are here! We haven't decided on a name yet for this handsome young Spyder x Cora son, but we will soon enough.

Opal learning clicker trainer timing with a Belgian Malinois puppy who she named Sarah Conner, under the tutelage of Mike Suttle of the legendary Logan Haus Kennels.

This was in 2019 when we both took LHK's Puppy Operant Conditioning & Imprinting course with Mike & Megan, and this was the first time we had ever worked with Malinois.

Opal immediately fell head over heels in love with the Malinois breed, and we ended up buying her the puppy who was assigned to her as her training K9.

“I am a Dobermann, cataloged one of the most intelligent and most feared dogs, I have served the US Navy and I will not narrate my dark past on the German side. They called me the devil's dog, today they ask me to behave like a Poodle, they have gone so far as to wear clothes ...

I am a Malinois:
Gifted among dogs, I shine in all disciplines and I am always ready to work. Today they ask me to relax on the couch all day.

I am an Akita Inu:
My ancestors have been selected to fight with other dogs. Today they ask me to be tolerant of my p*ers, and they blame me for my reactivity when one of them approaches me.

I am a Beagle:
When I followed my prey, I gave a voice so that the hunters could follow me. I was leading the dance.
Today they put an electric collar on me to silence me, and they want me to return to the call in a snap of fingers.

I am a Yorkshire Terrier:
I was a rat catcher, fearsome in the English mines. Today they think that I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

I am a Labrador Retriever:
My vision of happiness is a dip in a pond to bring my master the duck he just shot. Today we forget that I am a sports dog, I am fat and I have to babysit the children.

I am a Jack Russell Terrier:
I am capable of facing a fox larger than me in its own den. Today they blame me for my damn character and want to turn me into a parlor dog.

I am a Siberian husky:
I got to know the great spaces of northern Russia, where I could pull sledges at impressive sp*ed. Today I only have the walls of the garden on my horizon, and my only occupation is the holes I dig in the ground.

I am a Border Collie:
I am cut out to work eight hours a day, and I am an incomparable artist of herd labor. Today they blame me because in the absence of sheep, I try to control bicycles, cars, children from home, and everything that is in motion.

I am...
I'm a 19th century dog

I am handsome, I am alert, I am obedient, I can put up with being in a purse ... but I am also an individual who needs to express his instincts, and I am not suitable for the sedentary life that you want me to carry.

Spending eight hours a day alone on the patio, seeing you a little at night when you come back, and being entitled to any activity just a short walk to the bathroom will make me deeply unhappy.

I'll express it by barking all day, turning your garden into a minefield, relieving myself on the inside, being unmanageable the few times I'll find myself on the outside, and sometimes spending my days on my cushion, then you'll think I'm happy to To be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work: in reality I will be in full depression, because it is not the preference of the human, but also that of the dog of the XXI century.

If you like me, if you dream of me forever, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athlete look make you want to possess me, but you can't give me a real life of a full dog, a life that is really worth living, and if not you can offer me the job my genes claim ... then quit me.
If you like my rhythm but are not ready to accept my character traits from rigorous genetic selection, and you think you can change them with your only good will ... then quit me.

I'm a 19th century dog, yes. But, deep there, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who led a herd still sleeps. And sooner or later, you will wake up. For better or worse.”

I reckon we might as well start at the beginning...well, the beginning of our involvement in one side of the K9 World at least...

By a complete twist of fate, we were asked by a couple of friends to come down to the city to hang out at a PSA (Protection Sports Association) event... which was an absolute first for us.

That proved to be complete game changer of a day for my family. That's also where we met Calvin & Whitney of K9 X training center.

We had never seen Belgian Malinois work before...and as I stood there completely mind blown by the level of training and intelligence that I saw in these dogs, I thought "whoa buddy...just stop yourself right there before you get yourself kicked out of the house by Amber and end up sleeping in the RV!" 🤣

Then I saw the look on Opal's face...and I knew we were in trouble, lol, because she had the same look in her eyes as I did in mine...🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hello everyone,

I have been very blessed to be able to pursue one of my deepest passions in life...and even more blessed for it to be a passion that is shared by my wife Amber, and our daughter Opal.

We have decided that it is time to chronicle our K9 journey that we have been on; and also to track our training, our education, and the development of our 10 acre private K9 training facility.

We hope that you enjoy seeing the progress, the set backs, the frustration, and the elation even half as much as we enjoy walking this path.
