Byakko - Started Single Purpose K9

Male- Intact

DOB: 10/31/25

📍North Idaho, USA

‼️ For placement with Law Enforcement Agencies only.

I got Byakko from a close friend of mine nearby who breeds police K9s for law enforcement and has produced many successful police K9s. I have had Byakko since approximately May of this year.

◼️Byakko was bred by Nine Realms Working Line German Shepherds Kovacs x Alizeh

◼️Byakko is about as finished as I like to have a dog prior to placement and is imprinted the main three pseudo narcotics odors (Scent Logix).

◼️Byakko is social/neutral, golden retriever trapped in the body of a GSD. High energy, high prey drive, great hunt drive. Safe with kids and loves them. Would be a great PR dog.

◼️Byakko is a very happy dog, he is easy to get along with and will pair nicely with a first time LEO handler.

Prioritizing placement in Washington, Idaho, and Montana.

Please message me here or email [email protected] if interested.

I have a ton of videos I’d be happy to share.

Veerle - Pronounced “Vayre-luh” Narcotics Prospect

Female- will be spayed prior to placement.

Approximate DOB: 11/22/24

📍North Idaho

‼️ Law Enforcement placement only- started single-purpose detection k9.

Veerle was a stray who was abandoned in northern Manitoba, Canada for allegedly having too much energy and drive. A lovely friend of mine in Saskatchewan transported her to me.
Can confirm- this dog has a crazy level of energy and drive.

Veerle is the easiest dog that I have had in a long time. She is pocket sized, about 45lbs of muscle with hunt drive for days. I have had her since about May of this year. She has traveled with me to conferences and been just about everywhere. Her name means “traveler” in Dutch.

Veerle is environmentally confident and neutral/social towards people. Socially awkward with other dogs but not reactive.

Veerle is clean in her kennel and not a loud dog at all.

When working, Veerle is VERY easy to read and shows dramatic behavior changes. She will be good for a first time k9 handler.

Veerle has been imprinted on cars, parcels, and rooms and has been exposed to the three main narcotic odors (Scent Logix -no ma*****na or fentanyl).

Prioritizing placement in Idaho or Montana.

Please message me here or email [email protected] if interested. I have a massive amount of videos I can send your way.

Congratulations to Karin and Herja on passing their PSA-PDC today!! Karin did it with a broken ankle too 🫡🙌🏻

Herja’s heeling was beautiful and her outs were pretty dang clean considering how civil and nasty Herja is on the bite. Great work you two.

For those who don’t know, Karin and I co-own Herja and she’s been with Karin the last 6 months while I was in police academy.

Herja is now:

Letti aus der Asche, CGC, BH-VT, PSA-PDC, ASCTI Explosives Detection K9.

We had a successful week at the 2026 ASCTI conference. I don’t post a lot on my training page about my work with search and rescue but I think this deserves mention.

Xerxes and I passed our American Society of Canine Trainers International Wilderness Area Search Certification this week! I certified Xerxes in tracking last October but realized that I had no use for two tracking dogs and in January of this year, just 6 months ago, I decided to switch Xerxes to area search as our county search team does not have an area search dog and constantly needed to call dogs in from other agencies.

Xerxes and I serve Boundary County, Idaho with Boundary Search and Dive Rescue Team alongside my other tracking search dog, K9 Zuko. You can follow my search and rescue work on Zuko’s Instagram

MASSIVE Congratulations to Sarah and K9 Lobo for passing your American Society of Canine Trainers International Search and Rescue Tracking Certification today at the ASCTI Conference. I’m so incredibly proud of these two and grateful that Lobo and Sarah found each other.

Sarah and Lobo serve Nez Perce County, Idaho and neighboring communities with their search team.

I love seeing these former shelter dogs go on to live amazing, fulfilling lives with their handlers. ❤️

Search and Rescue K9 Lobo is doing fantastic with his handler Sarah! They are working towards certification and doing amazing. Hard to believe this boy spent so long looking for his perfect person but boy is it rewarding to see him thrive now that he has.

I get to see Lobo and Sarah next month at our certification conference and I’m absolutely stoked.

When we are doing detection:
obedience to odor > obedience to the handler

Can’t forget which end of the leash is the dumb one 👆🏻
