Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind FirstLine K9 located in Jersey Shore, PA. At Firstline Canine we provide adult dogs to various law enforcement agencies. When we breed, we breed for ourselves. Meaning, every litter we hold some dogs back to be raised and trained for LE agencies. So when you purchase a puppy from us , you are purchasing from people who care about our lines.

Fritz’s experience

    At Firstline Canine we provide “green” dogs to various law enforcement agencies. As well as Law Enforcement K9 related training as well as various forms of pet related training.

  • What makes Fritz’s program special

    FirstLine k9's dogs have been carefully selected, with dogs imported from Europe, to guarantee their accomplished pedigree. We focus on breeding dogs that have enough drive to keep up with the rigors of Law Enforcement training, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting.

More about Fritz

  • Why Fritz started breeding

    At Firstline Canine, our decision to get into breeding was out of necessity. As finding dogs suitable for the rigors of police K9 training have become increasingly hard to come by in Europe. It was only logical we begin to breed some of our own dogs, as opposed to relying on our vendors in Europe. And what a decision it was! Since then we have bred litters with dogs going to LE and families alike
