What good genetics and clear training will give you at 4.5 months old. This isn’t rushed training. This isn’t every session, this is my husband telling me to take off all the equipment and consistently proving there’s no one that can teach a basket like him. 😂

Banger de la Vallée du Grand Loup at 4.5 months old. Showing me daily how blessed I am to have him and all the wonderful pieces of his parents, but mostly I’m just thrilled to be seeing his father shining through with so many qualities.

His future is bright. by @hunterk9

A breeder’s dream. A coach’s dream. A competitor’s dream.

The 2026 NARA Western Regional Championship was one to remember. I couldn’t be prouder of this team and the dedication they bring to this sport. Behind these scores are countless hours of training, sacrifice, and a relentless drive to improve.

I’ll promise you one thing: no one works harder.

🏆 Summer & Voleur
1st Place Ring 2 — 282/300

🏆 Karly & Maestro
1st Place Ring 3 — 393.8/400

🥈 Myself & Uston
2nd Place Ring 3 — 390.5/400

🥉 Violet & Mary Jane
3rd Place Ring 3 — 383.9/400

As a breeder, watching these dogs succeed means everything. As a coach, seeing our team’s hard work come together makes me incredibly proud. As a competitor, sharing the podium with them feels like a dream.

Thank you to every member of our club and to our friends and supporters in our sister clubs. You all play a huge part in this success.

Phil and Caleb—thank you for outstanding, safe decoy work and the care you showed every dog on the field. We appreciate you both.

Ari—thank you for judging this championship and giving your time to the sport.

Proud of these dogs. Proud of these people. Hungry for more.

On to the next. 💪 by @hunterk9

It was an outstanding weekend for us competing in the NARA Western Regional French Ring Championship. Achieved our best score in my entire career with a 390.5/400. Hard to believe we were 2nd place with this score, but being beat by your better half @karlyeliizabeth and her dog, is still a win for me. Thank you Uston. Still not even 3 years old yet, and you’ve proven yourself each and every time we’ve stepped on the field together. The future is bright my Juice Box. The work never stops. Let’s get it. by @hunterk9

Dosca Du Chenil De Chasseur
2017 NARA Ring 3 Champion
2017 NARA Ring 3 Cup Winner
2017 NARA Domestic Champion
11/16/2012 - 9/17/2026

Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to the greatest female I will ever own.
Dosca was one of the greatest females to ever play in ringsport in the United States, but what she meant to me went far beyond anything she accomplished on a field.
She changed the way I understood dogs. She showed me what was genetically possible and became the standard I would measure dogs against for the rest of my life. She shaped the way I train, laid the foundation for my breeding program, and ultimately changed the direction of my life.
But more than anything, I’ll remember the way she loved me. To Dosca, I was her entire world. That kind of bond is something we experience in her progeny.
Her legacy lives on.
The mother of Kratos. The grandmother of Maestro & Machiavelli. The great-grandmother of dozens.
Everything I build moving forward will carry a piece of her.
There will never be another Dosca.
I love you, girl. You took a piece of my heart with you, but I will forever be grateful for everything you gave me.
And thank you, Dana Stout, for giving Dosca the retirement she deserved—for loving her, caring for her, and treating her as your own. Knowing my girl spent her final years so loved means more than I can express.
Rest easy, my girl. Your legacy will live forever. by @hunterk9

Stopped Attack Gold. Copper State Ring Club dogs get it done. Thankful for these Shitty French bloodline Malinois and their ability to stop at 2 meters. It’s probably because they are afraid to bite 😘😉 by @hunterk9

“You’ll never accomplish anything in this sport.”

“Good luck with your shit genetics.”

“He only wins on his home field.”

“He got lucky.”

“He only succeeds because he has money.”

“I bet he couldn’t do that with another dog.”

“His French-line dogs are pussies.”

I heard it all. I remembered it all. And I kept working.

To my ride-or-dies—the ones who believed in me from day one, stood beside me through the wins, losses, setbacks, and everything in between—thank you. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.

And to the haters, the betrayers, and the two-faced hypocrites who are still standing around watching today…

Thank you for being my biggest fans.

Keep watching. We’re not done yet. by @hunterk9

A day in the life at the Chasseur Malinois compound. This reel highlights the breakdown of a simple 15 minute routine prepping our female, Vicomtesse, for an upcoming French Ring Brevet and Ring 1. It’s the endless attention to detail and pride we take in each of our dogs that separate the mediocre teams from the exceptional ones. Your results will depend on thousands of correct repetitions performed with purpose. Stop being lazy and train like you trial. by @hunterk9
