Top Shelf K9

Top Shelf K9, a Belgian malinois and Rottweiler breeder in Canton, OH, is located in Stark County near Akron. Committed to breed standards and registered with national kennel clubs, Top Shelf K9 ensures parents are health screened for hip and elbow dysplasia. Puppies are raised alongside loving family life with daily socialization, exposure to household routines and basic handling from an early age.

Owner Duane Matthews emphasizes clear communication and ongoing support for families integrating a working breed into their home. Several litters have produced dogs earning working titles in obedience and agility events. Each puppy completes a veterinary examination and begins basic training skills before joining its new family. Their dogs enjoy grassy run areas and indoor spaces designed for comfort and early developmental play.
