Gold Coast K9 offers police service dogs for both patrol and detection. We are not breed specific, rather we select the best available candidate for a specific task. Typically we evaluate and offer Malinois, German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds, Labs, Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels. All of our detection dogs are pre-trained at our training facilities to ensure they can perform at a high level in buildings, vehicles, and open areas. Additionally, patrol dogs are thoroughly evaluated for hunting and courage. Gold Coast K9 hand selects and/or imports most of our dogs from Holland, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. We do not sell titled sport dogs for police service work. In general, titled sport dogs can have a direct negative effect in a real world scenario due to their repetitive sport foundation training and associations. We are located in Ventura, California with average yearly temperatures of 70 degrees. Ventura offers miles of beaches, four golf courses, and three gyms. We offer maintenance training to Southern and Central California. We have two full time training facilities as well as access to other buildings and open areas throughout the region. The classes we offer and description can be found on our K9 classes page.
