Testimonials

Bill Whited is one of the most genuine, caring persons that I have met in my life. I lost my retired Police K9 partner and was facing the lowest days of my life.

He spent time out of his day to simply talk to me. Not only displayed hope again for humanity, but provided me with happiness back into my life. After speaking with me he selected the perfect German Shepherd for me to meet. Before I knew it he was at my doorstep with blessings for my family. He assured we had everything we needed to begin the next chapter of our lives.

Whited K9 Services truly has people who care about quality, selection, courtesy and your happiness. It’s been a long time since I have experienced that type of exceptional service. If I could provide more stars I would.. His personality and spirit are remarkable.

The world truly needs more people like Bill. I couldn’t be more grateful to call him a great friend now. Thank you for the impact you have made in the next chapter of our lives with Arlo. Whited K9 Services will always have my recommendation.

When it was time for us to add another Malinois to our home we reached out to Bill. We had not met Bill previously and he made sure we understood the breed before agreeing to let us purchase one from him. Bill is selective in his breeding and stands behind his dogs. Contact Bill for details about German Shepard, Doberman, Rottweiler or Malinois puppies as well as group training or one on one training. Bill can also get you set up with an underground fence system or help in repairing your broken system. I would highly recommend Bill at Whited K9 if you are looking for a great working breed dog.

Unfortunately, I had a very dishonest and disappointing experience with Whited K-9 services. I was very impressed with the male Doberman that’s litter that was due and wanted to purchase a female puppy from that litter. I was asked to put down a deposit down which I did and we agreed on a set price. I then get a call from Bill telling me that he was thinking about keeping the female that I had already put the deposit down. He told me that if I gave an additional $1,500 on top of the already agreed price then he would sell her to me. I originally told him no and would like my deposit back. He then told me that I would lose the deposit.(Which is criminal) I went ahead with the purchase and paid an additional $1500 on top of the original price that we agreed on. At this point I felt I had no choice, he was basically shaking me down for an additional $1500. What makes the whole matter even worse is that the female puppy that I purchased was from an entirely different litter and not from the Male stud that was behind my whole motivation for my purchase. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had dealing with a breeder. This is 100% a true testimony of what happened. What he did was not only disgusting and dishonest but criminal. I feel that I have a duty to let people know of my experience with Whited K-9 services. Anyone that is thinking of dealing with Bill & Whited K-9 services be aware and be very careful.
