Blackjack Working Dog Kennel in Nevada. They are to have produced working DSs for military and law enforcement.

When I searched, I found "Blackjack" kennels in a few different states, but none in Nevada. There was Blackjack Working Malinois site (state that they breed working mals and DSs) in Kansas. I know nothing about kennels and canine breeding programs: will a single kennel "diversify" by operating in different locations?

Any insight or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I guess the easiest way to find out if they are associated, is to mail them and go ahead and ask?
I have not heard about them. Just know that producing dogs for the military is mostly not directly possible.
The DoD purchases their dogs from vendors who have to be on approved vendor lists. Those can offer dogs that meet a checklist of criteria, and upon receipt, the dogs get tested. Should they pass and check on all boxes, then yes, the dogs get purchased. Pups are not bought, but in the best case scenario produced by the DoD themselves. Very few privately owned dogs are used (as sires) in that breeding program. I happen to own two of them and know they are/that is rare.

I have never thought of that as a tag line to you I have sold a few dogs to two different vendors who have turned around and sold them to DoD. I could say that I have produced dogs for the military. LOL.

Only if you bred and raised them.
