Complete Public Review History View Our Google Business Profile“I purchased a fully trained KNPV Dutch Shepherd from Childress Creek Kennels. Jack has been an amazing dog and addition to my family. Ryan answered all my questions before the purchase, provided a hands-on demonstration, and completed a thorough veterinary check with me present.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our Malinois puppy from Childress Creek Kennels. We drove from Tennessee to Texas, and the entire experience was great from start to finish. Our puppy was healthy, highly engaged, full of energy, extremely trainable, and exactly what we were looking for.”
“Awesome people here. They respond quickly and make you aware of what you’re going into.”
“Ryan built my confidence and gave me hope for better. There has been a remarkable difference, and Cammo is definitely my friend, my protector, and a keeper. I can’t say for the rest, but Childress Creek Kennels is the best.”

Our Commitment
Healthy dogs, honest communication, clear expectations, and support throughout the placement process.
Childress Creek Kennels offers Labrador Retriever puppies, KNPV Dutch Shepherd puppies, started dogs, and finished dogs. Availability changes throughout the year according to planned litters and each individual dog’s development.
Our Labrador program emphasizes hunting ability, temperament, trainability, and companionship. Our Dutch Shepherd program emphasizes proven working genetics, confidence, intelligence, stability, and suitability for capable homes and handlers.
Contact us to discuss the breed, litter, and type of dog you are seeking. Once availability is confirmed and both parties agree that the placement is appropriate, a deposit is required to reserve the puppy.
Deposits are 50 percent of the purchase price and are non-refundable. The reservation terms are provided in writing before payment is accepted.
We consider the prospective owner’s goals, household, experience, activity level, and expectations. A high-drive hunting or working dog may not be appropriate for every home, so honest communication before purchase is essential.
Our goal is to place each dog where its temperament, ability, and purpose will be understood and supported throughout its life.
Buyers receive the veterinary and health records applicable to their puppy or dog. The written purchase agreement explains the health terms, buyer responsibilities, and any applicable breeder remedies.
Breeding decisions emphasize genetics, soundness, temperament, trainability, and long-term performance. Health testing is completed as appropriate for the breed, age, and breeding dog.

Our standard puppy-delivery service is $750. Travel requirements, timing, delivery location, and unusual expenses are confirmed before the delivery is scheduled.

Buyers receive the applicable policies before completing a purchase. We encourage every buyer to read the agreement, ask questions, and understand the terms before paying a deposit.
