My personal experience in getting Diablo was absolutely wonderful Josh made sure he kept us in contact and updated video chats whenever I requested and even started training! When I picked up Diablo he already knew how to sit and lay down and more! When people are looking for a working k9 I definitely recommend Josh to everyone! Not only was my boy bred to be absolutely stunning but his drive was absolutely perfect! He’s not only my personal protection k9 but he is my hunting buddy, camping partner and so much more! He has such a great balance between work and play! I will 100% be coming back when I’m ready for my next Dutch! I couldn’t be more thankful and lucky to have found him, he gave me the best dog I’ve ever had!

Greta is a very social, high drive Malinois. She is easy to train and excels in her role as demo dog at our local AKC Club Training Classes. I recommend War and Peace K9 for a working/sport dog.

Greta - AKC Star Puppy, AKC Canine Good Citizen, AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced and Urban, AKC Farm Dog, AKC Trick Dog Novice, Working Dogs of America Family Obedience.

I can't say enough good things about these dogs. When I was searching for a Dutch Shepherd to be my active pet, I knew I needed to find a breeder that not only bred for athleticism but with a mind to match. Whatever I have asked of these dogs, they've done without issue, and I can't thank Josh enough for producing such balanced dogs!

Been with War and Peace for almost 3 years. I was initially looking for a good trainer and possibly personal protection with my dog. I was referred to go see Josh, best decision ever! Josh and Dana love working with dogs and people, they make training enjoyable and my dogs love going. He has an incredible understanding the dogs temperament and personality. Josh will bring out the best not only in your dog but in you as a handler. I now have what I’ve always wanted in my dogs that I never thought possible. Thanks to War and Peace!

I'm retired 5812 Marine Corps Military Working Dog Handler. I spent 7 incredible years as a SF MWD/MPC Handler. I have worked with dogs from Hawaii to the east coast, then all the way to Israel, working with IDF Dog handlers for RnD for the MWD program. I've served in 2 other countries, and I have served in 2 conflicts. I have handled and trained some of the most elite working dogs for my time in service in the Marines. This gave me the experience of working with over 143 of the DODs' finest working dogs. I have also worked with volumes more in the civilian sector in my 19 total years as a professional dog trainer, SF operator, and Dog Handler. I include this information to validate my level of expertise that now integrates into War and Peace kennels. I was referred to Josh by a mutual and highly respected dog trainer. This man and I both like the same kinds of dogs. REAL DOGS. After witnessing the drive sets, the behaviors, the bite pressure, the behavior on the bite, and the accross the board behaviors that were even in all the puppies present. I quickly came to realize, War and Peace is producing some very SPECTACULAR working dogs. Monja, my puppy which was a first pick, and boy, did I get the dog of a lifetime. This dog, through its development, has absolutely broken every testing limit I have set for him. He has an incredible blocky head for a Dutch, and he has drive UNLIKE any Dutch puppy I have personally owned. I can confidently say that the dogs Josh is producing would do incredible, working for the US Gov Special Operations' needs. I have searched high and low to find "THAT DOG." I will with 100% confidence say, I'm certain, I've found him. This dog exceeded my expectations at every level, from Genetic to Physique, behavior, and drive. I've purchased dogs from all over the world, and I can assure you, I'll look no more. If you are looking for a SERIOUS working dog, Josh is gonna be able to fulfill your needs. Just make sure you have what it takes to handle a REAL DOG before committing. These dogs are some of the finest lines out there, and his pairings are divine. Great work, great honest man to do business with, and I will certainly be back for more. Thanks, Josh, not only for a dependable world-class working dog, but for my new best friend. Our bond is already second to none!!! War and Peace is the REAL DEAL. Just make sure you have what it takes! Serious dogs require SERIOUS HANDLERS!

It's been a great pleasure not only getting a very special dog but also getting to work with the team at War&Peace K9. Josh has been very involved and open to answering all my questions about the Belgians as a whole, from the time I decided to get a puppy to now a year and a half later. I'm new to the breed but I've had fifteen or so dogs in my life, I've never had one I truly trained, especially not to this extent and I honestly don't think I would have been able to train one to this well without the information Josh has given me over the course of my training. I say "my" training because truly he's been teaching me how to teach my dog and it's definitely been eye opening what your dog can do when you have the right tools to communicate with them. The dogs are all super focused, ready to perform and willing to do just about anything you ask of them. If you're looking for a place to get a top notch dog that exceed your expectations and the resources to achieve what you want out of your dog then it's definitely worth talking with Josh. Anywhere from Obedience to Bite Work to Scent Training all the way to just having your dog hang around in a crowded area and still maintain focus on you. I would definitely recommend War&Peace K9 and Josh to anyone looking to get an extremely intelligent dog and the full training experience, you won't be disappointed.
