What We Are....
Ventosa Kennel is a working dog kennel providing police K9 training and producing unsurpassed police K9's for law enforcement and other working duties. We sell trained police dogs and we sell untrained or "green" dogs that have been screened, selection tested, and ready to be trained. Our dogs are imported from working bloodlines in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Holland, and Belgium. Police K9 training and certification including patrol, narcotics detection, explosive detection, wildlife detection, and tracking. Law enforcement canines for sale since 1968!
Our goal is, and has always been, to train to the highest level attainable. Our working dogs are second to none !

What We Are Not....
We are not a dog vendor selling sport dogs for police work. We do not import "trained", "finished", or "titled" competition sport dogs for resale to law enforcement agencies as trained "police dogs." Some US trainers import European sport competition dogs ("titled" dogs) and sell to police departments, however we believe this is not generally a good practice. While some sport competition dogs can, with additonal or remedial training, be developed into a suitable police K9, many cannot. We only sell trained police K9's that we have imported as untrained or "green" adult dogs and have specifically selected for serious police K9 training at our facility. All K9 training is a building block program and each phase is dependent on the success of the previous phase. Unless we have been involved in each phase of the K9 training we cannot know what foundation problems, training issues, or temperament flaws may have been demonstrated in any previous training phase. Therefore we cannot be totally confident of a future response the dog might have in a critical street situation. In law enforcement work, this is a risk we are unwilling to accept.

The benchmark of our training is our rigid certification requirements. Every handler and police K9 training with us must pass our certification requirements before being allowed to graduate our program. Our certification requirements are more demanding than those issued by any police K9 certifying organization in the U.S. today. We guarantee any police K9 team trained at Ventosa Kennel will be capable of passing certification requirements with any certifying organization in the U.S. Setting our certification standards higher requires us to deliver to our clients the best working dogs available. We are so confident in our ability to provide top quality dogs we provide a one year performance guarantee! If you are not satisfied with the performance of any dog trained and certified at Ventosa Kennel during this period we guarantee a full refund of purchase price or replacement, which ever you choose!
