Making sure that you and your dog have the freedom to stay wild and wonderful.

Serving the Charleston, West Virginia area for all things adventure with your dog.

Providing you with the best dogs and training for your wild and wonderful adventures.

At Stay Wild K9 we have almost twenty years of experience with working dogs and are here to help you find the dog you need. Whether it be an active companion to take on your next trip, a dog suitable for real-world applications such as search and rescue or police work, or your next competition dog, we can help you find him. We have worked with a variety of dog breeds throughout the years, but the main focus of our breeding kennel is centered around Malinois (Belgian Shepherds), German Shepherds, and Dutch Shepherds. 

Our years of experience have allowed us to understand dog behavior and genetics to be able to properly select a dog or puppy for your needs. We have specialized for years in raising and starting puppies for police work, and are now beginning our journey in the dog sport world. 

Training for you and your dog or puppy is available on a limited basis. We are currently offering private obedience training and will be starting obedience group classes in the near future.
