Previous Canines

Nine Realms Canine Training focuses on raising, training, and selling fully trained working canines for Law Enforcement. Unlike most large scale kennels, Nine Realms focuses on several dogs at a time, giving each dog more one on one training so that they may develop into superb working canines. The Nine Realms’ canines are all over the world, some in Nevada, Montana, Washington, Virginia, and Tanzania. Head Trainer Karin Wagemann is experienced raising puppies, selecting green dogs, or rescue dogs, and training them for police work. The majority of Nine Realms’ canines are dual purpose patrol canines but we can easily train single purpose detection (narcotics, explosives, HRD, etc.) or tracking only canines. All canines are trained and certified to the American Society of Canine Trainers standards; canines can be dual certified in multiple organizations or agencies. If you are in need of a new working canine for your agency please check out the dogs for sale page or call/email for more information.

Previous Canines Sold and Trained

Otto

Otto is Granite Mountain German Shepherds’ newest stud. He started off with zero interest in searching, chasing a ball, or work. I built his drive for the ball, the hunt, and the work and he surprised us by passing his ASCTI narcotics building certification at the end of his fifth week of training. He is a lovable goober that loves all people, children, and dogs.

WDFW K9 Finn

Finn is a rescue from Category 5 working dogs in Texas. They tested and pulled him from a shelter when they found he had the drives for detection work. Finn is trained on zebra and quagga mussels and searches the boat check stations on the WA/ID border with his WDFW handler.

Sasha

Sasha is owned by Granite Mountain German Shepherds. Sasha is trained and titled in narcotics detection, vehciles/builinds through ASCT. Sasha is social with ALL people, good with other dogs, extremely environmentally confident, confident and open in her personality, has high food drive, high ball drive, and good hunt. She is a very balanced dog with prey/defense drives and could likely do work in tracking and bitework as well. Despite being a sassy girl she is a huge snuggler and melts in your lap. Sasha is a perfect example of a well bred GSD that is social with people, easy to live with, has drive to do anything you ask of her, and is not a reactive mess.

Annushka

Annushka is owned by Selkirk German Shepherds and is one of their up and coming breeding females. Annushka is titled in patrol tracking and explosives detection builidng and vehicles through the American Society of Canine Trainers. She is imprinted on RDX, TNT, PETN, Ammonium Nitrate, Potassium Chlorate, Gunpowder, and Smokeless Powder. A natural tracker, she is a joy to work behind. Annushka has great ball drive, hunt drive, and full and firm grips on a sleeve (without any formal training done yet).

Avi

Avi is owned by Selkirk German Shepherds and is one of their up and coming breeding females.

Dual Purpose Narcotics and Tracking K9 for Roosevelt County MT Sheriff. Hati is a very social dog with people and other dogs. Extremely stable and balanced in drives and nerve. She has high ball drive, high hunt, high work ethic, but is able to settle nicely. Her grips are extremely hard, fast, full and she packs a punch for her smaller size. Hati is everything the GSD should be.

Grumeti Fund K9 Oke

Oke is a shelter dog rescued from the Humane Society of Tacoma at 2yrs of age. Oke showed extreme capability for police work and was pulled and given to us by Molly McKinney. Oke arrived to Nine Realms 15 pounds underweight (not Molly’s fault) and over two months built up muscle. Oke is currently serving in Grumeti Tanzania as an anti-poaching dog. Oke is trained on ivory, ammunition, weapons, bush-meat, and hippo teeth. He is also a trained tracking dog used to locate poachers on the Grumeti Reserve.

Elko, NV K9 Newt

Newt is a dual purpose patrol canine serving in Elko, NV with Evka. Newt came to me at 8 months old, a scrawny pup with good potential. He already knew how to bite and took to narcotics detection quickly. From day one he was a crazy, wild, silly, but affectionate dog, and remains so to this day. Newt was the hardest dog to teach tracking, to date, and came close to being placed as a single purpose detection/patrol dog. With age and constant training he pulled through and has turned into a wonderful tracker.

Elko, NV K9 Evka

Evka is a small female Malinois that is serving as a dual purpose patrol dog in Elko, NV with Newt. Although she weighs only 45-50 pounds she hits and bites incredibly dog. Evka was a joy to train as she was a natural tracker and incredibly sweet. She loves new people and gives lots of affection, but will turn on the aggression when needed.

Narsil

Radar is one of four anti-poaching canines I trained for Singita Grumeti and Working Dogs for Conservation. Radar is trained to track poachers, perform article searches, and detect ivory, bush-meat, ammunition, guns, pangolin scales, hippo teeth, and rhino horn. He is by far one of the best detection dogs I have ever trained.
