Bred for the work. Chosen for the family.
Maison K9 selects its German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois for nerve stability, working drive and health — then takes the time to match every puppy to the right family.
A small program, on purpose.
Three to four litters a year. Never more. It isn't a production constraint — it's the only way to know every puppy individually, test them ourselves, and know, at placement time, which family or which handler they're actually suited for.
Our breeding dogs live with us year-round, on the training field as much as in the house. They aren't "breeding stock" — they're the dogs we work with, the ones we know by heart long before a litter is ever planned.

Three commitments, for every puppy.
They apply to every litter, without exception and without upcharge.
Health screened, never summarized
Hips, elbows, heart and a DNA panel on both parents before any breeding. You get the full certificates — not a verbal summary.
Temperament tested, not guessed
Every puppy goes through a structured temperament test around the seventh week. That test — not coat colour — determines placement.
A guaranteed return, for life
If you can no longer keep your dog, they come back to us — at any age, no judgment. It's written into the contract.
German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. Nothing else.
Two working breeds, chosen because we actually know them — not because they're trending. The German Shepherd for its versatility and loyalty; the Malinois for its intensity and speed of learning.
We don't cross the two. Each breed keeps its own line, its own standard, and its CKC registration papers.
From your first question to going home.
You write to us
Tell us about your household, your experience with working dogs, and what you expect from one. We reply within one to two days — sometimes to tell you honestly that a Malinois isn't for you.
You meet the parents
Visits by appointment, even before a litter is born. You see the real temperament of the dogs who will produce your puppy — not a performance.
Reservation and temperament test
An $800 deposit confirms your place. Around the seventh week, we test every puppy and match according to the results — not the order of arrival.
Going home at eight weeks
Your puppy leaves vaccinated, microchipped, examined by our veterinarian, with CKC papers, a health record, and support that starts that day — not one that ends.
"A Malinois with nothing to do invents its own job — usually your couch."
— Alexandre Roy, co-founder
A litter is expected this fall.
Our puppies are almost always spoken for before birth. If you're considering a puppy this year, now is the time to write to us — even without a firm plan yet.
