Meet Aaron Hodgson (DHK9)

Welcome to My Profile Hello and welcome! My name is Aaron. Dogs are not just a hobby or a business for me—they are my absolute passion and a lifelong dedication. I am fully committed to preserving and improving the quality, health, and stability of working and companion breeds through ethical, thoughtful breeding and professional training. My Breeding Philosophy & Dogs As the proud owner of a magnificent Saint Bernard, I have a deep appreciation for the breed's gentle giant nature, loyalty, and striking presence. My breeding focus for Saint Bernards is centered entirely on: Exemplary Health: Prioritizing longevity, structural soundness, and genetic health. Stable Temperament: Ensuring calm, confident, and family-friendly dispositions without losing the breed's natural protective instincts. In addition to Saint Bernards, I have a strong focus on German Shepherds, specifically valuing their unmatched durability, adaptability, and working drive. Professional Experience & Training Through my business, DHK9 Canine Services, I bring a professional, hands-on approach to canine behaviour and obedience. We specialize in: 1-to-1 Behaviour Modification: Tailored solutions for complex behavioural challenges. Protection Work: Expert training in sports protection and personal protection dogs. My dedication to correct temperament and drives extends deeply into the dog sports community. I regularly attend club training days with the British Rottweiler Sports Dog Association North East, where I proudly act as their Helper/Decoy, assisting handlers and their dogs with advanced training, bite work, and drive development.
