About us
Jitta Kennels
Jitta K9 is a family-run kennel whose idea rose in 2021 when the family intended to start a dairy goat farm. From the need of having a protection dog, we considered different dog breeds before narrowing down to purebred Belgian Malinois dogs.
From this point, we developed a passion in Malinois breed but on several inquiries, we realized that we could hardly find a solid and balanced Malinois for a family life. Whatever we found, was not at par with our expectations. It is then that we decided to breed and sell purebred Belgian Malinois dogs for personal protection and as family pets.
A further look into some of the available Belgian Malinois in Kenya, revealed to us that breeders who had them could hardly tell us of their bloodline history or field of expertise their dogs were most suited for. Here, our journey to import our own began. We sought to have a line whose temperament was family friendly, strong and solid in physique. We aimed at finding bloodlines whose offspring were also in personal protection work and consistently yielded pups whose behaviors were predictable and trainable as family companions.
What we found were expensive foundation dogs but worth the course and we have never regretted throwing the strength and resources behind them. We aim at streamlining the bloodline to an energetic all-round healthy dog, enough to serve a family for not less than a decade.
Meet our Staff
Samuel (Founder): Samuel developed a keenness in dogs at an early age. While working at the United Arab Emirates, his passion for the Belgian Malinois and the Dutch Shepherds enormously grew owing to their workability and eagerness to please. This interest was followed by a thorough research and networking with several legendary breeders across the world who mentored him and provided top working lines foundation dogs for his breeding program in Kenya. He won’t stop pursuing for genetics to keep on improving the quality of the breed.
Sammy (Handler): Admiring and loving a dog is one thing, owning the responsibility and sticking to it is another. Sammy’s consistent care on our dogs is at another level. He goes an extra mile to ensure that they meet their nutritional needs, and that their health is closely monitored.
Last but not least, hats off to our senior dad, who owns the responsibility of living and hosting our dogs since puppyhood. The challenges he has been through in learning and managing our purebred Belgian Malinois dogs proves that the stable temperament of our lines really fits a family life where there is will and resources.
