  • "My boy was there for long term boarding and the quality of care that was provided for him was the best in the business. A lot of times boarding facilities stress dogs out long term and they experience weight loss and other issues. My buddy was the perfect weight, in great spirits and you could tell they treat each dogs as if it were their own. Thank you so much we appreciate you!"

  • "I have received two Belgian Malinois from DSWK! My female I’ve had for 3 years now and she has exceeded all expectations. She was the perfect fit for a first time Mal owner, looking for a personal protection pup! I recently got my second pup from DSWK and he is a fire cracker! He is a prime sports Mal and solid full mouth bite and fire to go with it! I highly recommend DSWK breeding program as well as training. They have helped me over the years with my girl and providing any training tips for my new boy. 10/10 recommend!"
