Kira changed my life! This little dog helped me so much and thanks to Lenny and his immediate responsiveness and help I’m so grateful. Everything went smoothly she’s a healthy beautiful playful puppy with a gorgeous sparkle in her eye. She’s super intelligent and she’s a blessing to have as our new family member. Thank you Apache K9!

I found Lenny and ApacheK9 after doing extensive research on Dutch Shepherd breeders. Having experience with high-drive working dogs, primarily Belgian Malinois. I wanted a breeder who truly understood working dogs and approached breeding with intention and expertise. These types of dogs can be challenging even for experienced handlers, and the difficulty only increases if the breeding pairs aren’t selected responsibly. My previous breeder had retired, so the search was important to me. I discovered Lenny through the Good Dog app, and he happened to have a litter nearly ready to go home. From our first conversation, it was immediately clear that he was knowledgeable, transparent, and committed to responsible breeding practices. He was upfront about the high-drive nature of his pups and made sure I understood the level of time, experience, and training required to raise them properly. That level of honesty is something I truly respect. After speaking with Lenny and doing my research, I felt confident he was the right breeder to trust with my next working dog. The entire process was smooth, and Lenny stayed in regular communication from start to finish. He provided updates on the litter’s development and valuable insight into each pup’s emerging personality. When I arrived to pick up my puppy, everything was organized and ready, food, medical records for my vet, and plenty of time set aside to help the pup get acquainted with me before the trip home. Once home, the pup settled in quickly. His confidence and clear-headedness were immediately noticeable, a real testament to the way Lenny raises his litters. I’ve now had Odin home for a month, and he is thriving. His prey drive is high but very manageable, and his strong food drive gives us endless training opportunities. He is already beginning his foundation for Air Scent Search and Rescue work, and his initial responses have been extremely promising. Just as importantly, Odin is wonderful with both people and other dogs. Lenny has remained communicative and supportive throughout, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the pup I brought home. I would not hesitate to recommend Lenny to anyone looking for a purpose-bred working dog. I’ve found my new breeder of choice and fully intend to return to ApacheK9 when it’s time to bring home a second SAR prospect.
