Adlerhorst International is proud to be recognized in Chapter 7 of No Ordinary Dog, the book by Will Chesney with Joe Layden, which shares the extraordinary story of Cairo, the Belgian Malinois who served alongside Chesney during Operation Neptune Spear.

Chapter 7, The Procurement of Military Working Dogs, explores the specialized world of identifying, evaluating, and sourcing exceptional military working dogs, including the people and organizations dedicated to finding dogs capable of performing at the highest levels.

The chapter references Adlerhorst International and the Reaver family’s involvement in the working-dog industry, highlighting a legacy built on European procurement, canine selection, and supplying quality working dogs to law enforcement and military organizations.

Founded by Dave Reaver in 1976, Adlerhorst has spent decades developing relationships throughout Europe, sourcing exceptional European working bloodlines, and providing carefully selected dogs for demanding professional environments.

Today, that commitment continues through Mike Reaver and the Adlerhorst team.
