The work beyond the kennel
The dog, the handler and the people who helped develop the work. They all belong in the story.
I’m proud to share these dogs and the work connected to my breeding program. Their histories include law-enforcement placements in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and urban search-and-rescue work in Toronto.
Breeding and raising a puppy is one part of that work. The handlers, trainers and organizations that take the next steps deserve their credit—not a claim that I trained or certified every dog here.

These dogs’ paths are individual stories. Another puppy from the same parent or pairing should not be assumed to become a police dog, search-and-rescue dog or service dog.
If your interest is in a working prospect, tell me about your experience, your goals and the training resources around you. Start with the puppy information or explore the recorded pairings.
A name, a pairing and a clear question are a useful place to start.
