I’m Michael Spayde. These are my dogs, my daily work, and a breed I take seriously.

The person behind the kennelA life built
A life built
around the dogs.
These dogs are part of my daily life—not just a breeding program on a website.
The work includes training, competing, raising puppies, and paying attention to the dog in front of me. A pedigree matters. So does the person who takes that dog home.
Tell me what you plan to do together, what your days actually look like, and whether a Malinois fits that life. Getting that part right matters more than making a sale.

Thinking about a Malinois?A puppy is a commitment.
A puppy is a commitment.
Not just a pedigree.
Before we talk about a litter, let’s talk about the life you can give a dog.
Ask about the parents, individual health information, the raising program, and current litter plans. An inquiry is a conversation—not a reservation or a promise of availability.
A good beginning matters
Daily care. Early handling. Thoughtful exposure.
Then the work continues at home.
The right dog starts with a conversation
Talk with Michael Tell me what you have in mind.
Your experience. Your everyday life. What you want to do with a dog. That’s where a useful conversation starts.
