Meet the breeder

I'm Katja B., the breeder behind Apex K9 Center LLC located in Dillon, MT. I breed top-quality Belgian Malinois puppies for active, working homes. My dogs are bred for health, temperament, and working ability. It is especially important to me that my puppies have excellent mental health, so they are able to thrive in their future roles. I am very conscious about every breeding decision that I make, and I want only the best for my dogs and puppies.

Q. & A. with Katja

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The Belgian Malinois is an incredible breed, and I breed to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in their work and as companions. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.
  • What makes your program special?

    I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red sable, mahogany, black, and fawn sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
