Kimberly Brown

Head Breeder, Founder

Trainer

Kimberly grew up in a home that always had numerous dogs, including Rottweilers, Chows, German Shepherds, Border Collies and Saint Bernard's. Kimberly participated in her first dog show at 13 and has been actively working with and training dogs since 1995. Kimberly attended grooming school and became a certified groomer in 2004. Kimberly groomed all breeds for 10 years and managed a commercial kennel for many years. Kimberly has studied dog breeding, dog training methodology, dog behavior and dog care for her entire life. Kimberly’s wealth of knowledge related to the German Shepherd breed, reproductive science, and in achieving the potential of the breed is unmatched. Kimberly has personally owned and raised German Shepherds, Border Collies and St Bernard's.

After years of grooming and managing a commercial kennel, Kimberly chose to devote her attention to teaching dog owners how to understand their dogs and overcome the frustrations pet owners commonly struggle with. Training is such a valuable tool to build relationship and trust with our dogs. Kimberly will help you shape the dog in front of you into a reliable, obedient dog who WANTS to obey and work for you. Training isn't easy. Owning a dog isn't for the faint of heart but it is one of the most rewarding experiences possible.

We know and understand the work that it takes to correctly raise a German Shepherd. They are not the easiest breed but they are a rewarding breed to raise, train, compete with and have as a loyal family companion. This is why we include group obedience classes and lifetime breeder support with each of our dogs that we place.

Jason is the founder of Audax K9 Academy. Jason began training dogs at a young age when he received a mixed breed dog for his sixth birthday. Jason studied engineering and business at SPU where he developed his love of working with people and working within the scientific method. After college Jason pursued a career in the commercial insurance industry. When Jason met his wife Kimberly and began to work with dogs at the commercial kennel she managed, his love for training reignited along with his love for Kimberly. Jason began teaching group obedience and protection classes in 2015 after years of study in this area.

Jason brings his love of protection sports and years of study in this area to the breeding program at Audax. His focus is to produce the complete German Shepherd, fearless, strong both physically and mentally, bold, forward and capable.
