Philosophy

In a world characterized by uncertainty and vulnerability, safety and security have become paramount concerns for individuals, families and organizations alike. Recognizing the unique bond between humans and working dogs, our company strives to provide an unparalleled level of safety and fun through the delivery of genetically superior, well-trained dogs.

For over 40yrs we have competed in and won major international working dog competitions at the world's highest level. Through this journey we have fostered relationships with others that represent the top breeders, trainers and stewards of working German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois.

For over 100 years working German Shepherds have been evaluated for the traits desirable for companionship and security. We recognize the profound connection between humans and working dogs. This bond is based on loyalty and companionship. We acknowledge the intrinsic value of this relationship and leverage it to enhance safety and security for you and your family. The elite dogs from our program not only provide an alarm and formidable defense against threats, but also introduce an element of emotional support and lots of fun. They relieve anxiety.

In short we provide Huggable Security. Contact us today and see how we can help.
