Get to Know Me
Meet Christa.
With over 30 years of experience working with and showing working breed dogs, I've dedicated my life to understanding what makes a truly exceptional canine partner. As both a professional dog trainer and breeder of Belgian Malinois, I'm passionate about producing dogs that are not only driven and capable, but also well-balanced, trainable, and suited for real-life families and working environments.
I take great pride in my breeding program and am committed to raising and developing some of the best dogs on the market. My focus is on health, temperament, structure, and versatility—ensuring each dog has the foundation to succeed whether in sport, work, or as a loyal companion.
As a small-town, family-oriented business owner, I believe in building strong relationships with my clients. Every dog I raise and train is part of an extended family, and I'm dedicated to providing ongoing support, guidance, and honest communication every step of the way. I have experience training with all breeds and strive to help all owners, and I specialize in working dogs.
For me, this isn't just a business—it's a lifelong passion and commitment to the breed, the dogs, and the people who love them.
