I'm the breeder behind Care 2 Protect located in Las Vegas, NV. Our Belgian Malinois puppies come from health tested parents (embark, OFA hips/elbows). The puppy is well loved, socialized and has the foundation for potty habits. We do puppy culture! We have a Clark County Nevada breeders permit and we pass annual inspections. We begin housebreaking manners, crate training, exposure to lots of surfaces/noises/items/smells, socialization, and even learning games before puppy goes home so that they have a good head start in life and it makes it easier for you as well! We always keep them together until a minimum of 8 weeks old, if not longer. At 7 weeks old the pups are tested for their working dog abilities and temperament. Our goal is to place the right puppy to fit your needs. Clark County Animal Control Breeder Permit A23-252107. Thank you for your interest.
About Sarah Marie
My name is Sarah Marie. I am a mother to three amazing boys. I am a registered nurse in Las Vegas Emergency Room and I love training dogs and whelping happy and well rounded puppies. Our pups have 24/7 care with plenty of love and attention. I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator and I compete Obedience Rally with my Belgian Malinois Ghost. My youngest son has a service dog Waffle, my middle child has a cat named Burrito, and my oldest has a desert Tortoise named Donnie. We live on 1/2 acre in the heart of Las Vegas and the whole family enjoys caring for and training our pets.
What makes Sarah Marie’s program special
Over the years I’ve learned what helps make a successful dog. I serve on the board for Working Dogs of Nevada and my goal is to make sure my puppies I whelp are emotionally and neurologically solid. We use “Puppy Culture” evidence based practices to serve as a great building block for future families to build on for a successful lifelong bond with their dog.

Why Sarah Marie started breeding
As a child I grew up in Ohio and raised chickens, love birds, Eclectus parrots, swans and briefly fostered a macaque monkey. I’ve always loved taking care of baby animals and helping them get a great start in life. Belgian Malinois have a special place in my heart. With guidance from my mentor I’ve helped whelp over a dozen litters of shepherds (Dutch, Belgian and German). I’ve whelped three of my own litters of Belgian Malinois. I take pride in my pups and value the confident and intelligent nature of the Malinois and breed my dogs to be responsive and eager to work with a solid off switch for down time.
