Raised in a family home. Not a kennel.
Link K9 is a premier provider of professionally trained protection dogs, based in Formby, just a stone's throw from Liverpool. We raise and train a limited number of dogs at any one time, so every one gets the time, care and attention it needs.
Every dog is selected from puppyhood and grows up around children, so the protector you take home is also a calm, loving family pet.
- Hand-picked from proven bloodlines
- Reared around children from day one
- Obedience & protection trained early
- Every dog trained personally by Rory

A guard dog isn't just there for peace of mind — it becomes a valued member of your family.
Rory founded Link K9 in 2002 and spends more time with dogs than people. We hand-pick every protection dog as a puppy and rear it at our home, so we can develop obedient, loyal and loving family pets. When you call, it's Rory you'll speak to.
