I'm not going to hand you a scorecard with invented numbers on it. What I can do is explain, honestly, where this program's approach differs from how most protection dog providers operate — and let you judge whether that difference matters to you.
A lot of the industry sells on pedigree names and sport titles. I use those as one data point among several — working ability, nerve, health, pedigree depth, and complementary drive traits between sire and dam all matter, and I run coefficient-of-inbreeding calculations across the full pedigree rather than just the first couple of generations. But none of that substitutes for evaluating the dog directly. A name on paper tells you what's possible. It doesn't tell you what's actually there.
Most bite work testing in this industry is surface-level — a single decoy, a single kind of stress, in a setting the dog has already been prepped for. I test with layered, unpredictable pressure instead, because that's the only way to see what's underneath the training rather than just the performance.
Many programs scale up to place more dogs. I don't. I evaluate far more dogs than I ever place, and I'd rather develop fewer of them properly than increase numbers and lose control of the process. That's a deliberate trade-off, not a limitation I'm working around.
In a lot of larger operations, the person who bred the dog, the person who trained it, and the person selling it to you are three different people. Here, they're the same person. There's no sales layer between you and the trainer — the same person evaluating a dog is the person discussing that dog with you, from first contact through delivery.
None of this makes this program objectively "better" on some universal scale — it makes it a specific kind of program, with specific trade-offs. Smaller numbers, slower placement, and a standard I don't lower to grow faster. If that's what you're looking for, it's worth a conversation. If you need volume or a faster timeline, a larger operation may genuinely be the better fit for you, and I'd rather say that directly than pretend otherwise.
The biggest difference is scale and who's actually doing the work. I breed, evaluate, train, and place every dog myself, in a program that stays deliberately small so I can be directly involved with each one from start to finish. Larger programs often split those roles across breeders, trainers, and a sales team — which can still produce good dogs, but it's a different model with different trade-offs.
Yes, dogs are placed internationally. Availability depends on current training capacity rather than location, so reach out directly to discuss timing and logistics.
