Tami has spent a lifetime in developing the art and craft of successfully selecting, raising, and training working dogs.

Her knowledge of historically important producers within the Belgian Malinois breed both hands on and via pedigree, her contacts throughout the US and abroad, as well as a thorough understanding of training working dogs has allowed Tami the ability to bring to fellow sport enthusiasts, and law enforcement, the dog they seek.

She is a founding member of the American Working Malinois Association (founded 2000), has held numerous board positions including representing the national working malinois club at the American Working Dog Federation, and was instrumental in the successful recognition of the Malinois club into the World Federation (FMBB). 

Several of Tami's dogs that she has raised, trained, and/or located have gone on to work for law enforcement agencies in Washington, Oregon, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, as well as the Department of Defense. 

Her experience in both the civilian side of dog training as a professional trainer for over 16 years, coupled with hands on in law enforcement, and an obsession with the Malinois breed for most of her working dog career make her the ideal candidate to locate and provide the correct dog for the job, whether it be a dog working single purpose in a small department, a sport/competition dog, estate security dog, or the dog working in the fields locating explosives over seas. 

She is now a registered vendor for a highly progressive detection program supplying dogs for use overseas and domestically.

-Narcotics detection
