Meet the breeder

I'm Riley D., the breeder behind Wachhund Kennels located in Pahrump, NV. Our dogs are bred with workability, intelligence, and athleticism, in mind. While still focusing on health and stable temperaments. Our goal is to produce dogs that excel in work and sports, while remaining confident, balanced companions. Our dogs are placed primarily in dedicated working and sport homes, with select puppies occasionally placed in active family homes that can meet their physical and mental needs.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Wachhund Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Belgian Malinois.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Temperament Test

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
