Lenny was fantastic to work with. Knowledgable about the breed and expectations. Gave me input on which puppy would suit what I am looking for and gave regular updates after my puppy was reserved! He let me come meet the puppies as well as some of his breeding dogs including the mom! He was able to work around my schedule for pick up and I couldn’t be more grateful! My puppy arrived to me happy and healthy and has been wonderful so far. 100% recommend ApacheK9!

Lenny was amazing! We just adopted one of his puppies earlier this month and the process was smooth, answered any questions/concerns pretty quickly. He really cares about the puppies. This was my first time adopting through good dog, and i’m happy we decided to go with Lenny. If I ever want another Dutch Shepherd, I will definitely go with Lenny again!

David R.
Verified owner · Apr. 2026
Lenny was great from the very beginning with communication. We did a video chat where we were able to view the Dutch Shepherd puppy we were interested in. He sent multiple pictures after we secured the dog we wanted. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with shipping arrangements (even though we decided to pick the puppy up in person). Very patient with pick up arrangements due to my changing work schedule and was generally a solid person to deal with in all aspects. Highly recommend!

Lenny was great to work with; great communication and very knowledgeable. We are in love with our new pup! The pup is so smart, loving, and just what our family needed ❤️

From the moment I reached out, it was clear I was dealing with someone truly special – a Marine Corps veteran who has poured his heart and passion into preserving and improving the Dutch Shepherd breed. He personally imports top-quality, healthy bloodlines directly from the Netherlands and raises every litter with an unmatched level of care, knowledge, and dedication. The early socialization and nurturing these puppies receive is on another level. We’ve had our girl home for a couple of months now, and I can honestly say she is the most impressive dog I’ve ever owned – and that includes several high-drive Belgian Malinois. The combination of sky-high intelligence, rock-solid nerves, incredible calmness for her age, and an unbelievably sweet and affectionate temperament is something I didn’t know was possible in such a capable working breed. She’s confident yet gentle, driven yet biddable, and has the biggest personality – always wanting to be close and “love on” her people. If you’re looking for a healthy, correctly built, mentally sound Dutch Shepherd with that perfect balance of work ethic and family companionship, you will not find a better breeder. This girl has exceeded every expectation and has officially claimed the top spot as the best dog I’ve ever had the privilege of owning. Highly, highly recommend – thank you for everything!
