Alliance K9
Meet the breeder
I'm Alex A., the breeder behind Alliance K9 located in Chelsea, AL. As a professional K9 trainer, I breed Dutch Shepherds and Malinois for balanced drive, clarity, and real-world working ability. My program focuses on health, structure, and stable temperaments suited for protection, sport, and committed active families.
Q. & A. with Alex
Why did you start breeding?
After years training high-drive working dogs, I saw the need for stable, clear-headed animals with real versatility. Ranger and Mila reflect the traits I value most, and breeding them allows me to produce dogs with the structure, genetics, and temperament required for serious work.What makes your program special?
My program is built around real working evaluation—not hype. Ranger and Mila are proven, stable dogs with strong nerves, sound structure, and balanced drives. Puppies are raised with early conditioning, exposure, and hands-on training foundations to prepare them for working or active homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Mila

Ranger, dad
Dutch Shepherd
About Ranger
Ranger is a Dutch Shepherd registered on Bloedlijnen.nl under KNPV BRN 40274, coming directly from proven KNPV national-champion bloodlines. His pedigree is built on generations of clear-headed, high-performance working dogs, and his ability is no fluke—his temperament, structure, and drive are consistent with the strength of his lineage. Ranger demonstrates strong nerve, environmental stability, and balanced prey, food, and defense drives. He is highly biddable, recovers quickly under pressure, and shows excellent clarity in new environments. On duty he is focused and intense; at home he maintains a solid off-switch and an affectionate, people-oriented demeanor. His genetics, performance, and stability make him an exceptional foundation male for producing capable working prospects and balanced active companions.
