Breeds

Three breeds. One standard.

Each breed is selected for a specific operational purpose — chosen because they're genuinely the best tool for the job, not because they're fashionable. Show lines are never considered.

What They're Built For

Any pathway. Same foundation.

All dogs are assessed for drive, hunt behaviour and scent motivation — producing versatile animals capable of entering any detection or protection training programme.

💊

Narcotics

Class A, B & C drug detection for law enforcement, Border Force, customs and prison service.

💣

Explosives & Firearms

IED, ammunition and firearms detection for military, EOD, events security and VIP protection.

✈️

Aviation & Cargo

Airport and cargo security — tobacco, cash and contraband. Proven supply to UK aviation operators.

🌿

Conservation

Wildlife crime and endangered species detection. An emerging discipline — Labrador and Spaniel drive are well suited.

🛡️

Personal protection, site security and patrol — Malinois supplied to police, prisons and private security internationally.

🏛️

Government & Customs

HMRC, Border Force and government detection — established supply record with UK agencies.

Health & Standards

The standard that protects your investment.

A working dog that breaks down at four years old is an operational failure and a financial one. The decisions that prevent that happen at breeding — not during training.


Herrahholme breeds exclusively from working and field trial stock — no show lines, ever. Full health certificates, KC registration and bloodline records are available for every animal.

🦴
BVA Hip Scheme

All breeding stock hip-scored under the BVA scheme. Hip dysplasia is the leading cause of early career failure — we test it out at the source.

🦵
BVA Elbow Scheme

Elbow dysplasia graded and cleared. Structural soundness across all four joints — non-negotiable for a decade of operational work.

👁️
BVA / KC Eye Scheme

Hereditary eye conditions tested and eliminated. Clear vision through a full working life.

📋
KC Registration

Every pup KC registered. Full traceability for government procurement, law enforcement audit and supply chain accountability.
