Boris
Boris is an exceptional Belgian Malinois whose combination of strength, stability, and control sets him in a class of his own. With a naturally high drive and unmatched focus, he comes alive the moment he’s given a task—displaying power, precision, and purpose. Yet, what makes Boris truly extraordinary is his rare ability to shut that drive off instantly and settle comfortably into family life. Gentle and affectionate with children, Boris thrives on human connection and loves being close to his people. He’s deeply bonded, calm in the home, and interacts beautifully with other dogs. This balance of intensity and composure makes Boris the ultimate dual-purpose companion—an elite protector when needed, and a loving family guardian every other moment.

Lower-energy dogs will need less frequent activity. Read More
Handler sensitivity refers to how attuned a dog is to its handler. A highly sensitive dog is eager to please and anticipates commands, while a less handler-oriented dog tends to be more independent and requires different handling methods. Almost all working line dogs are still more handler-oriented than the average dog. Read More
Territorialism is an instinctual behavior in dogs where they perceive an area, such as your home or property, as their territory to defend against perceived threats. A highly territorial dog may attack someone entering the home, while a non-territorial dog may not react. Read More
The social ability of a protection dog refers to its natural disposition towards people. While a highly social dog is inclined to meet and play with strangers, a more suspicious dog may see people as potential threats. All the dogs we sell are trained to remain neutral to their environment and are fully safe with their family and friends. Read More
