What we do & Where we do it
The property on which the Kraftwerk K9 kennels are located, was found by Wayne Curry while he was on the way to a farmer’s field to practice tracking with his dog. It was a five-acre parcel of young Christmas trees and nothing else. Wayne and his friend, a deputy sheriff, then built the first four kennels. Read more about the Kraftwerk K9 Story

The Kraftwerk K9 Purchase Process
As great as Brasco is, I wanted to talk briefly about the purchase process from Kraftwerk K9, as it was really a straightforward and simple process. I had certain fears buying a pet online – namely, how well would we bond with the dog – and in retrospect, I couldn’t have asked for a better family addition.

You’ get what you pay for, that’s all I have to say about people complaining on the price . Kraftwerk K9 has the best German Sheperd. Customer service are top notch, they pick up my call every time, answer all my questions. Waynne will answer his Cell and text anytime even on the weekend. They’re not only care about their dogs, they care on how to get the right dog to you as well. Can’t say thank you enough to Kraftwerk to help us add one more member to our family.
P/S: And this is the second dog I got from Kraftwerk.read more

Outstanding Facility. We were able to meet with the team and get a full tour of the facility. I was extremely impressed with how professional and knowledgeable this team was. They are extremely dedicated to these animals. The puppies are adorable and I was super impressed with the level of obedience and control the adult dogs had achieved. Wayne is clearly proud of these dogs and loves what he does.read more

I would like to thank Wayne and all the staff at Kraftwerk K9 for providing the best German Shepherd I have ever had the pleasure to call my own! After 14 years of fantastic memories I had to put Kodiak down, my best friend and companion. I have had Shepherds all my life and Kodiak was by far the smartest and healthiest German Shepherd that I have ever owned. He was a very special dog. If anyone is looking to purchase a Shepherd, as far as I am concerned this is the only kennel that you should consider! Keep up the great work! Rest in peace Kodiak!read more

Crazy dogs barking all the time. No way to really touch bases with more than an answering machine. Maybe a good idea years ago but, now highly priced over bred dogs, flooding the market. Don't know how he is still finding homes for all his puppies?? Don't visit. Will hear a lot of screaming dogs! Plus you have to make an appointment which is hard to do when no one answers the phone?

This is the second puppy that I got from Kraftwerk K9. My first was incredibly smart and sweet! She was trained in Shutzhund and did bomb sniffing with our local Sheriff’s dept. most importantly she had friends wherever she went. I just got a 3 month old female and she is beautiful, smart and well tempered. Once you have owned a dog from Kraftwerk K9 you can’t settle for anything less. Thank you Wayne, Sean and Lisa!read more

I got a puppy from this place about a year ago and he is the best dog our family has ever had. He’s great with our kids, super well behaved, and he always lets us know when someone is close to our house. The customer service was great and very friendly. If your interested in addicting a new addition to your family or wanting an already trained dog definitely check out their website. I’ve been following it on Facebook since we got our pup and it’s amazing all the stuff they teach their dogs.read more

Five years ago after someone attempted to break into our home. We decided to get a German Shepherd puppy from Kraftwerk K9 and to this day I couldn't ask for a better companion or protector. He is more than a dog to our family he has been a true angel and blessing to us everyday.

Working with the team at Kraftwerk K9 so far has been excellent. Dakota, chief trainer, was very patient and knowledgeable. We opted for a trained puppy. In a few months I will be able to fill in the blanks on how well it is working out for us.

We purchased our puppy Dax from Kraftwerkk9 this last December, 2018. We have had a very positive experience. The trainers and staff have been friendly and helpful. I am very happy with the quality, conformation and disposition of the puppy we chose. I would purchase a puppy from them again without reservation.

Kraftwerk K9 is a great place to get German Shepherds from. They will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your puppy/dog arrives and is well taken care until that time. My mother owns three dogs from Kraftwerk K9 and she couldn't be happier and I enjoy to see them as well.
