Alpha K-9 Kennels

"Alpha K-9 Kennels is by far the best that i have experienced. They always take such good care of my german shepherd when I travel. i don't know what i would do without them."

"We boarded our little terrier for 6 nights. Beautiful grounds and peaceful location. We brought her travel kennel so she had a cozy den and favorite toys. The put it in the kennel on a raised pad. The kennel is safe and secure. Each dog has its own large kennel with a cement wall divider. They sent me a video and she looked so happy on her walk. Laurel and staff are so friendly and kind. I felt safe leaving my fur baby with them!"

"I’m so happy Laurel was able to fit us in. She answered every phone call and every question we had. We got updates every so often of tippi which helped to ease the stress of leaving our lil baby while we were gone. I recommend alpha k-9 if you’re on the fence."

"I have kenneled my beloved boxer twice with Alpha K-9 Kennels. Love the staff and the owner . They love their job and take extremely good care of my baby when I am on vacation. I can always rest assured that she will be well taken care of and love while I am away. They also set my pictures and videos of her being walked and played with. Her last stay she had medicine that need to be applied twice daily and tat was taken care of as well . Thank you very much AlphaK-9 kennels,we will definitely be returning ❤️"

"If I could give Laurel more stars, I'd give her 100!! My husband and I purchased our first German Shepherd puppy from this breeder. We were nervous to make such a big financial commitment to a breeder (or puppies from a breeder) we've never personally met. However, after 30 minutes of thorough details about the puppies she produces and the quality of their pedigree, there was an unexplainable peace that I felt after our conversation that prompted me to submit our deposit to hold our place in line. The most difficult part was the wait. We waited almost a year to finally have our precious puppy in our hands. THE WAIT IS WORTH IT. Our puppy was shipped from the Big Island to Oahu (crate and cargo fees an extra fee) and it was a smooth process to pick her up. Laurel (and her team? I assume there's a team. unless she's super woman, which honestly is very believable after learning how amazing she is at breeding these puppies) began crate training the puppies prior to going to their new homes. Our puppy, Cinnamon, was crate trained for 3 hours. Of course the first night was tough because she was acclimating to a new environment, but the subsequent nights were peaceful and quiet as she laid in her kennel through the night. Fast forward to today, Cinnamon is now a little over 4 months old and she is our super star. We enrolled her in puppy training classes at Petco. She already knew more than half of the commands they were teaching, but we wanted her to get training with distractions as well as the socialization aspect. We quickly learned that: 1, she was intelligent beyond her years, and 2, she played the best with all of the dogs. This includes both timid, and rough/bold puppies. She knew how to turn on and off the "calm". Our 6 year old Beagle/Chihuahua/Terrier mix, Pepper, has gotten moodier in the last 2 years. She does not like energetic puppies getting into her face all the time and has been known to "snap" at other dogs if they get too close (big or small). Cinnamon has been toughing things out and continues to pursue Pepper's heart, but with tenderness and patience. Today was a BIG leap in their relationship as we found them laying in the same kennel sleeping. (They did this all on their own!) Cinnamon has adapted around her and quickly became the "gentle giant." PLEASE keep in mind, we put a lot of time, energy, and resources into training Cinnamon. German Shepherds, although extremely intelligent, require a lot of time, discipline, and rewarding because without a good dog parent, you get uncontrollable children. And GSD are smart. They will learn how to "get around you," if you let them. I'm not just saying all of this to brag about our good girl (even though yes, she is the BEST in our eyes), but also to show that she was bred with extreme care and attention to detail. She makes both a great companion and protector. She is bold, but not aggressive. She is gentle, but not shy. If you are looking for the perfectly balanced German Shepherd Dog, look no further. Alpha K9 Kennels is your last stop (and should be only stop) for a reputable, responsible, and well-educated German Shepherd breeder."
