I have known Ron for a few years and actually bought my girl lia from him two years ago and she has been amazing and was trained by Ron. Just recently i rescued a husky shepherd mix! Not having much experience with stubborn huskies i had Ron train him and from just one session i can tell a huge difference and i’m excited to see what more training will do for him!

I volunteer with a professional group placing companion and service dogs with disabled veterans.
I am very familiar with quality GSDs. Ironclad has some of the best working type GSDs in Connecticut. Ron breeds each litter to achieve even temperament, high train ability and solid character for law enforcement, service work and companionship. Ironclad adult dogs have European Pink Papers reserved for dogs with eight generations of excellence I highly recommend Ironclad K9.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Ron and Ironclad K9. JoJo is an exceptional partner and has excelled in all aspects of his training. I am proud to have him by my side each day. He has shown great skill and attention to detail and has made an excellent addition to the Lewis County (Tennessee) Sheriff’s Department. Ron was incredibly professional to deal with and made sure he had JoJo equipped with the knowledge needed to begin his training as my K9 partner. JoJo is now certified in narcotics detection. We could not be more pleased with him. I could not recommend Ironclad enough and appreciate the attention to detail and professionalism they displayed.

I met Ron years ago and was so impressed with him and his dogs that I kept him in mind for our next German Shepherd. We brought Zuzu home in February and have been in love with her ever since! The entire experience was smooth and Ron was available at any time to answer any questions we had. Zuzu is the most amazing shepherd we have had the pleasure of bringing into our family: so smart and energetic, a sweet disposition, and HIGHLY trainable. She's more physically strong than our other shepherds so we worked with Ron in the beginning to learn the best way to train her as we have two kids as well as my elderly mother living with us. He was always available and would fit us in immediately when we were available. He's an AMAZING trainer and Zuzu has responded to him from day one. I would highly recommend IroncladK9 Group without hesitation. Zuzu is 10 months old and Ron STILL contacts us to see how she's doing and to make sure we're happy with her. She is our third shepherd and we have NEVER had a breeder contact us at all never mind so often to check on our dog and to make sure everything was a good fit. We really can't recommend Ron, Tim, and IroncladK9 Group enough!! You will not regret selecting one of his outstanding dogs. The breeding of his litters is carefully determined and their health is without equal in my opinion. All of his dogs are stunning! Just look at the photo gallery. We are so, so happy with Zuzu and totally in love with her! Thanks Ron and Tim!

Hi! If you are like me who is afraid to take big steps, especially getting a new dog and worried that you might get scammed and taken advantage then u have come to the right place for learning to trust and knowing you DID make the RIGHT choice . I was so afraid I was gonna get scammed or something bad was gonna happen! Not at all, Ron was amazing !!! He even drove to drop Ebony ( the dog in the photo) off at my house! He was extremely nice and very informative!. He checked up on us many times asking if we needed anything and was very helpful In training tips. I absolutely love ebony and shes extremely smart and I get compliments on the daily of how gorgeous she is. She's really my new best friend . She's training to be a service dog and she's so smart . You won't regret going with Ron as a way to get your new best friends !

From the first phone call 6 months ago, to the 1hr long conversation 30min ago. Ron and his team by far deliver on the quality and care of there business. On top of that the dogs are exactly what they say they are. As a handler/trainer there has never been this type of care or customer service from any other vendor. From California to Czech. Without a doubt ironclad is my go to when I need a dog. I asked for a high drive Shephard that was super social. That’s exactly what I got. The experience, knowledge, and strong work ethic ron and everyone there puts in will constantly keep me coming back for more dogs to title.

Beyond amazing I keep, coming back for more. Not only because of the quality of dog, but the personal care as a client.

I had an amazing experience working with Ron. From when I first contacted him, to picking up my puppy he was extremely informative. Mercy is now 16 weeks old and I couldn’t be happier with her she is very intelligent and well behaved! We have been doing training sessions with Ron and he works amazing with her. He extremely patient, professional and knowledgeable. He explains everything with great detail and is always willing to answer any questions.

I highly recommend Ron and his team!

I purchased my puppy from Ron a little over a year ago he made the experience so easy he was very professional he’s checked in multiple times throughout the year to see how my dog is doing I truly can’t say enough good things about him my dog Rocky is truly the most amazing perfect dog not only is he my family dog I also do PSA with him he has an on and off switch he is truly is the most stable well-balanced dog I couldn’t of asked for a better dog I won hundred percent trust him with my three-year-old if I was looking for another dog I most definitely would go back and see Ron.
So thanks Ron for giving me and my family the best dog ever

This K9 group really helped introduce me to my best friend. I have had Zamira for a few months now and I couldn’t have asked for a better companion. Working with Ron was a great, smooth experience. He listened to exactly what I was looking for in a German Shepard and didn’t overwhelm me with options that wouldn’t fit. As someone with a disability, I was looking for a dog that would be a great service companion and was provided with just that- An intelligent, quick learning sweetheart that loves assisting me and my family.

I highly recommend Ironclad K9. After going through their purchasing process, it is very evident that they put love, care, and respect into every dog they handle. They will match you with the German Shepard that best suits you.
