Delta is a super promising pup. The entire litter was really nice and it was a hard choice, but I'm extremely pleased with her conformation and temperament. It appears as if she will be a reverse scissor bite with full pigment. She oozes drive, confidence and a generally outgoing puppy. Lives in co own close to us. She won 4 Best in Show Puppy over 2 shows and became a Junior Champion in 2023.
Sobek is a nice boy who 'popped' after 3. He has massive teeth, great bone, a beautiful head, and moves with a powerful rear. . He is very prey driven, but will easily switch into defense and back when doing sport. He is a super outgoing dog, very engaged with his handler and has a stable friendly temperament, with enough oomph to work when the time is right. A very athletic well balanced dog with no dog aggression and just happy all around. Sobek has 2 CH class wins.
Blue is a very eager to please dog always wanting to be glued to your side. He is a bouncy kinda dog, and will gladly relax at your foot in the house. He will do ANYTHING you ask of him very happily from agility to weightpull to protection training to just being a fun family dog. In just 4.5 months of weekly training after some basic foundation, we were able to trial at a PSA trial and earn his PDC-SD (Protection Dog Certificate - Sleeve Division), which coincidentally was 2.5 weeks after life saving obstruction surgery. In just 3 short weeks we trained him to his UWP (first level of UKC weightpull and he did with ease). We also on a whim entered him in a UKC Agility trial and he had super results in all his legs earning his UAG1. He has a very strong ball & prey drive and is very attentive to Stephanie particularly, however he's also a very social dog that can hop right into the car beside our son after doing bitework.
He has had phenomenol conformation results with highlights earning his Champion and Grand Champion NKC Conformation title in 2017, as well as winning Best in Breed at Carolina Spectacular, Quebec Fall Bull & the Florida NKC Shows, and Best in Show at Grand River Kennel Club October 2016 UKC Show beating over 200 dogs in a variety of breeds and working purposes. He became a Supreme in 2017, going onto Nationals and winning the Top 10 ring in May 2018. We were working towards his PSA1 in 2021 when he had surgery on his ear to remove a non cancerous mast cell lump (he now has a goofy ear) and he sustained a groin injury returning due to my own stupidity letting him go too hard after too much time off....so working titles are on hold.
Blue has now earned his PDC-SD, NWDA OBT & WTE, as well as his Irondog ID3 (Ranked 1st & 2X 2nd), GDT, IDTT, UAG1, UWP and his ATAN .
He has been tested on hogs with a good start. He has produced some really nice dogs both in Canada and in Europe.

Drama is the result of an Artificial insemination with semen imported from Europe. She's the only female, and we are really happy with what we see in her. She has the 'stop' we were hoping for and seemingly a beautiful overall temperament as well. In June 2023, Drama earned her NKC Jr CH. She has been excelling in nose work in UKC earning a tie for #1 Guardian breed in UKC in Nosework in 2023!!!

Dio is an absolute show stopper. A monster of a dog weighing in at over 100 lbs fit. He has so much bone and after 3, his head and neck have exploded. Pictures do not do this dog justice. He moves very nice with a powerful confident presence. He's also a worker...he has great prey drive and one hell of a grip in bitework. I'm really happy with this boy and am pleased to see him progress! I love that he's also a great family companion for his family, and I'm thrilled that his co owners enjoy him as much as I love watching him mature. Dio has a Best in Breed October 2022 and now has earned 4/5 Grand Champion wins towards his Supreme Gr CH title.

Fireball is a really promising young female prospect. She is a big female with a boat load of bone and from an early age, an adult front end. She is well over 79-80 lbs dog in fit condition. She has amazing prey drive, super nerve, with a great off switch, very intelligent and a thinker. She is very good around other dogs, and we transitioned from PSA style training to a new method in Schutzhund after 1.5 years of age, and she is extremely promising. As a handler, I'm learning a new sport so our progress will be slow She won a Best in Show and my son handled her in the CH ring at ease...she is just an all around pleasure of a dog to own!

Maple is an outstanding young female. She earned 3 Best in Show Standard Puppy wins at the Crazy Canuck Classic at 9 months in 2022 making her an NKC Jr CH. In UKC, she showed earlier that month to win a Best in Breed and Best Winners, then carried on to Premiers to win a Best in Breed against some stellar competition and finished her Champion title the same weekend. Just after 12 months, she earned 2 Best Females (being beat by Littermate and half brother) making her a NKC Champion. She is super friendly, crazy prey drive, very confident and outgoing. She is super correct and and floats when she moves. We enjoy training her and put some foundation bitework on her, and time will tell what time our life allows us and what direction we take her.
Maple is handled by my 11 year old son and earned her CH title at just 12 months, and her Gr CH at 2.5 yrs was earned beating out a 5-8 dogs for each and every win.
For the best gut health...

Bolt is a German import from the well respected Chestnut's Little Indians program. I was after a correct, typey, balanced male with a forward, confident and drivey temperament, but could have a nice offswitch with the family. I have been in love with her program for over a decade and am really excited about the opportunity to show and work this dude. He made the flight in cabin and was absolutely rock solid! Bolt is excelling in his introduction to PSA sport bitework, and earned a Best in Show Puppy in April 2023 at Mid-Atlantic AB NKC show.
Legacy is an outstanding young female with plenty of size and good all around type, and moves like a dream. She has a very forward, confident outgoing nature yet with excellent handler focus and desire to work. Her prey drive is super and all around a really nice puppy at a young age. She earned 2 Best in Show Puppies at just 3.5 months of age and a 2nd place to her sister. In Sept 2023, she earned her Jr CH. In June 2023 at 12 months she took a Best in Show under Jukka Autio earning her CH. October 2023 she earned a Best in Breed and 4 Champion class wins in heavy competition.
Arsen is out of a breeding by Mightybull Kennels in Quebec using our boy Blue, whom lives in co own nearby with a friend. Arsen won a Best in Show Puppy in June 2023, and finished his Junior Champion in October. He has an exceptionally hard mouth and is excelling in bitework with a green handler, whilst also being a great companion to him.
