					I'm a business owner. My company has the best ratings in my state. I believe in reviews and I wouldn't write one for any reason.  Iron Heart makes you feel like family.  There was a learning curve but I learned a lot never the less.  Now, the product that they produce is very impressive. There was a 15 year stretch when I raised pitbulls.  I had 36 grown dogs at once. Sold them all around the country.  So I feel that my opinion counts. My wife worked for a vet for nine years. So when I say the product, I know what I'm talking about. The drive of these dogs are like a top, and rare pit bull bloodline.  Although a pit can't compare to the hunt you'll get from Iron Hearts dogs. I'm truly amazed at the nose and hunt within their dogs.  You only live once.  Dont pass up the opportunity to own one of these dogs.

					Matt and his staff at Iron Heart Dogs are top notch. My department and I are very satisfied with K-9 Krash and he has been very successful in our first year together.

					I've had a wonderful experience with Iron Heart. I got my bed bug detection dog from here and we have been making a living in the inspection business since. The Owner Matt and his top Trainer Malissa taught me how to maintain my dog's scent skills and how to work in the field. I am anxious to grow my business by returning to Iron Heart to add another dog to my Team. Everything about this operation is top shelf. Highly recommend.
