Caddo K9 Academy

Caddo K9 Academy in Caddo Mills, Texas breeds Belgian Malinois as part of a nonprofit program founded in 2022 by John Gunderson and his colleagues. The academy sits about an hour northeast of Dallas in Hunt County, placing it squarely in the working-dog corridor of northeast Texas.

The breeding program draws its Belgian Malinois lines from Pearle de Tourbiere kennels, selectively emphasizing traits suited to service work — specifically lower prey drive, greater confidence, and stronger pack drive over independence. Puppies not placed with a matched recipient or retained for the breeding program are made available to the public, and revenue from those sales is directed entirely toward the academy's free service dog and therapy puppy programs for disabled veterans and first responders.

John Gunderson's background with working dogs traces back to 1984, when he first learned canine handling and care at a school in Alberta, Canada. That foundation in working-line dogs informs how Caddo K9 approaches Belgian Malinois for sale in Texas — breeding for temperament and function rather than show conformation, with training begun on-site before puppies leave the program.
