K-9 Specialists

Short version: you need look no further than K-9 Specialists for any level of canine support - whether working with your existing canine partner or partnership with their world class family friendly protection dogs. Longer version: I have taken a number of weeks to post this review, waiting to settle in and transition to the new normal. The discovery that K-9 Specialists was local to me was the best bonus. An email to Libor led to a phone call while he was on the road with a delivery which led to meetings at their fabulous facility in Ocala. I met the GSD of my dreams, as I had kidded Libor that Iras was their best spokesman, in my opinion. And from the moment we met in person, Iras and I had the potential for the best of partnerships. Not only did I find my most incredible GSD partner but the family (K-9 Specialists) that accompanies him. I am a woman of age, with grandchildren, horses, and other dogs - an elderly and neurologically afflicted Border Collie (spayed) and a small Dachshund cross (in tact). The three immediately bonded. It has been a seamless transition with what I would consider challenging situations to any canine nature - made possible with the incomparable breeding and training of the canines represented by Libor and company. Next to the dog itself, the availability,support, and training follow up after the fact by Libor and Petr have proven their genuine care and commitment to their canines and their clients.

Working together with K-9 Specialists has been a wonderful experience. Libor and Petr were very responsive to all our questions and helpful in allowing us to consider all the options available for us to find the right dog at the right time for our family. We got plenty of great advice and photos/videos before pickup and since pickup, our Evie is doing great. Considering her age (4+ months), she’s incredibly well-behaved. She shows us great focus and drive and has also been respectful of our older dog. We are working with a trainer, who has also commented on how attentive and quick she is at picking up new skills. She’s growing into our family and we’re looking forward to many adventures. You won’t be disappointed should you chose to work with Libor and K-9 Specialists. Brandon & Stephanie

I was looking for my next GSD service dog to work with and have fun as my current GSD Jessie who I wanted to retire in the next year. With the many breeders and trainers out there i found K-9 Specialist whom after researching them and talking to Zavalsky felt they were the right choice for family and I. I told Zavalsky what I needed and was looking for after a little bit I decided on Yena. Picking up Yena was a great experience. Rachael Zavalsky and there children worked hard to get Yena ready and it shows .Yena is great around kids and has not a worry in the world. The most impressive thing is the chickens were left out and how fun to chases chickens. my daughter let Yena out to go potty she went potty then off to chase but my daughter recalled Yena and she came without a second thought. Yena has very high pray drive to over come. Being obedient to a command from a young adult is a testament to her DNA and the training time that went into her. I would highly recommend K-9 Specialist if your looking for a well balanced and loving puppy or dog GSD for your family or service dog. The experience felt like family I truly appreciate Libor Zavalsky, Rachael Zavalsky, Petr Solc Jr., and all who work so hard with Yena.
