Service Dog Procurement

We are the innovators of procuring dogs with a strong genetic as well as a working background. From inception, we purchased dogs with a European working title, hips, backs and elbows x-rayed and a vet check done personally in Europe prior to shipping. We have a vehicle in Europe capable of transporting 17 dogs, as well as a trailer for an additional 10. We lease kennel facilities in Holland capable of holding 40 dogs.

Procurement trips are made every 6 weeks. Each dog is tested comprehensively by Michael Reaver. All European titled dogs are not equal. Our testing process is conducted on neutral turf, often in a building. Many European handlers / trainers consider our testing process the most comprehensive they have observed. The techniques and testing standards we introduced over the years have caused many European agencies to reassess their testing and procurement policies.

Because of our procurement methods, all our dogs are guaranteed against all congenital issues for 12 months, and performance guaranty for 12 months if handler and dog are being trained by Adlerhorst. 6-month performance guaranty for Agencies conducting their own basic handler courses (No money refund)
