Kona
The Babe that started it all! Kona is a parvo-virus survivor living with kidney disease. She is the most spoiled dog and lives a Boujee life. This company was started as a means to keep up with her constantly outgrowing and destroying cheap collars from the store. It quickly became her life line to fund all of her medical care. Kona is a Certified Narcotics Detection K9 through the National Police Canine Association. She also holds numerous awards from the Detection Dog Trials International and is also titled in Dock Diving. Kona is a 7 year old pure bred working line Chocolate Lab born in Montana.
Kaia
The most perfect doggo! Kaia comes from sport dog lines and was the best friend that Kona needed during her puppy years. Kaia is a most excellent dock diver, currently holding 2 titles as well as numerous AKC Scent Work Titles. She lives in the water and has never meet a bird she didn't want to eat. Kaia is a 7 year old pure bred Yellow Lab born in Arizona. In 2026 we added demo dog to her resume, Kaia's job is to help young handlers learn the skills it takes to become a detection dog handler.
Hilo
Hilo, the most beautiful brindle mutt I ever did see. he was supposed to be my sport dog prospect. Turns out he would rather just stay at home and be my shadow. Hilo does excel at being an excellent guard dog and loves protecting not only his human sisters but his canine ones as well. Hilo is a 4 year old mixed breed, Australian Cattle Dog, American Pitbull Terrier and German Shepherd dog, rescued from the Arizona desert.
Kiko
Kiko, the smallest baby girl in our pack. She's a spunky little pup with attitude and a side-eye that could shoot laser beams. Kiko is the littermate of Hilo but with a completely different personality. She loves to go on outings and has recently started firearms detection training. Kiko loves her stuffies and chasing birds. She is a 4 year old mixed breed, Australian Cattle Dog, American Pitbull Terrier and German Shepherd dog, rescued from the Arizona desert.
Vander
Vander is the newest member of the pack, a field line pure bred black lab from North Carolina. He is being trained as an explosives detection K9. We have high hopes that he will earn his certifications as an EOD detection dog around the end of 2026. He is currently 7 months old and excelling at his detection training.
