At N E K9, we’re not just dog trainers; we’re passionate breeders with a deep commitment to excellence. Under the banner of Shadow Warrior Kennels, we specialize in breeding performance-driven American Bulldogs and German Shepherds.
Our Breeding Philosophy
Our journey in breeding is a testament to our lifelong dedication. We meticulously test and produce dogs that are mentally robust and genetically sound. Our primary goal isn’t commercial breeding; we focus on preserving the most stable specimens to maintain a rich bloodline, primarily for our own kennel. However, occasionally, we have exceptional dogs seeking their forever homes. These dogs come with a clean health slate and detailed information about their attributes, training, and suitability.
American Bulldogs
Our American Bulldogs stand as a testament to the pure standard performance type. They’re characterized by their high trainability, unwavering confidence, and outgoing nature. Proudly, we hold the distinction of having the most extensive hands-on experience with this breed in New Zealand. Our journey began in 1996, and since then, we’ve traveled to the USA multiple times, immersing ourselves in understanding, training, and working with this magnificent breed.
German Shepherds
Our German Shepherds are a blend of the finest – the Czech border patrol and Belgian police bloodlines. These dogs are instinctive, highly trainable, and bear a strong, dark pigment with a robust structure. Yet, they’re incredibly agile, making them swift movers in any situation.
