Introduction

Ozark Canine Academy

At the age of 17, I started working at a world-class breeding facility nestled in the Ozark hills. Mango Kennels bred rare breed dogs such as Dogue de Bordeaux and Presa Canarios. Their program produced multiple AKC, UKC, and IBCA champions. The kennels became my home away from home. In fact, I had a bed set up in one of the kennels and would find myself sleeping in there more times than not. For 7 years I worked as kennel master and trainer for a 45 dog show kennel. I learned so much from those early years. Presa Canerios are like lions. Athletic and powerful.

Every morning on the farm, we would listen to National Public Radio (NPR). I remember hearing about the war on global terrism. It was when I heard about the heavy fighting going on in Iraq and Afghanistan that I decided it was my time to get into the fight myself and give those guys a hand.
