The breeding dogs in the program are tested and certified through OFA for hips and elbows.

How It Works
A clear process protects the dogs, sets expectations early, and helps place each puppy in the right home.
Reach out by email, phone, or application so the conversation can start.
We review your lifestyle, future plans with the dog, training goals, and what you're looking for.
We talk through the temperament that best fits your home, experience level, and day-to-day life.
Before moving forward, we review the contract so expectations are clear on both sides.
A $500 nonrefundable deposit is applied toward the purchase price and holds your place for an upcoming litter.
Once the litter is available to meet, you can come out and decide which puppy is the best fit for your home.
What We Do
Two programs, one standard. Purposeful Belgian Malinois pairings and serious real-world training — done side by side, with intent.
Breeding
Every pairing is deliberate. Health-tested parents, working temperament, and placement focused on fit — not just availability.

Training
From first commands to real-world reliability — training packages built for handlers who want results that hold outside the yard.
Training
From first commands to reliable off-leash performance, every training program at StormsAshk9 is built around results that hold outside the yard. Whether you have a new puppy or a dog that needs structure, there’s a path for every handler and every goal.
Testimonials
