I'm the breeder behind Madhouse’s Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds located in Briggs, TX. Our puppies are raised on a small, 10 acre hobby farm using ENS, ESI, and Puppy Culture methods. We strive to produce puppies that are safe and stable, with the ability to go from performing as a working dog to a family setting easily.
About Brittney
Hello, My name is Brittney, I’m 26 and located in Central Texas. I’ve been involved in working dogs since I was 15 and my passion for them grows everyday. My entire career is based off my passion for animals.
What makes Brittney’s program special
While many breed for over the top dogs, I breed for stability. Dogs I can trust around kids and grandparents. Dogs who can settle in home, without being pinned up in kennels. Dogs who can be a part of the family but still work when asked. Dogs who are safe. I’m proud to stand behind my dogs for their entire life.

Why Brittney started breeding
I found there to be a gap in well bred dogs who could work but could also enjoy life inside the house as a family member. I believe it’s important for dogs to have an off switch and be able to settle while not working. My hope it to produce healthy dogs who can do both. Every pairing I produce is done with the entire of producing safe, sane, stable puppies.

About Psych
Madhouse’s Something Wicked This Way Comes CGCA CGCU TKA “Psychosis” OFA Hips Good | Elbows Normal | Eyes Normal | Embark Clear | DM Clear Psychosis is an extremely confident dog, both on and off her home territory. No matter where she goes, her personality shines and she approaches each new situation with fearlessness and determination. In previous years we've traveled over 150,000 miles, crossing the country multiple times and to her, each new city was a new adventure to explore. Whether it's sleeping in hotels or camping out under the stars, she's the ideal travel companion. She is a larger female at 70 lbs and 26”. Psychosis is a dog that will work for both toy and food rewards, no matter the place or the situation. She is happiest when engaging with her handler. She is neutral in most situations, although she will not tolerate rude behavior from people or other animals. Properly introduced, she enjoys interacting with other dogs and is fine with supervised play. She has not shown unwarranted dog or human aggression. During protection work, Psych is quick to engage with the decoy and does not need assistance from her handler to stay in the game. While she got a late start to protection sports, and is still new to it, she shows a lot of promise and has a full, pushing grip. She works with both old and new decoys with the same intensity and eagerness. There are plans to title her at a later date. Psychosis has been a phenomenal producer inside my program previously, producing puppies that are both structurally and temperamentally true to the malinois standard. Her puppies currently display promising drive, handler orientation, biddability, high levels of confidence and strong nerve.
