We purchase only the highest quality canines to ensure our customers receive the highest quality of services. We are afforded preferential treatment based on our insistence on quality, the volume of canines purchased, and payment history.
Typically, less than 10% of canines screened meet our standards for purchase. The canines are acquired as “green” canines and are “finished” at our kennel and training facility in Moyock, North Carolina.
Prior to acceptance, we pre-screen our canines to ensure that they are healthy, athletic, sociable, conditioned and reward driven to work long hours in physically demanding environments. A minimum of eight to 12 weeks of dedicated imprinting training is conducted with our “green” canines.
Behavior Screening
We follow a thorough pre-selection regimen while screening canines for the disposition, character and medical fitness required for the training and intended mission of the canines. The screening includes, but is not limited to:
- Socialization
- Reward Drive
- Possession
- Obedience/Trainability
- Environmental Drills
Medical Pre-Screening
Once we have identified the canines that possess the desired demeanor, drive and trainability, a licensed veterinarian performs a comprehensive medical prescreening.
