Our Story

Chasseur Malinois was born from a shared passion between Chad and Karly Hunter - a partnership built on deep respect for the working Malinois and a relentless pursuit of excellence. What began as a mutual love for high-level dog sport has evolved into one of the most respected Malinois breeding programs in the country.

The name Chasseur—French for “hunter”—is a tribute to both the Hunter family and the relentless drive that defines their dogs.

Together, Chad and Karly blend decades of training, handling, and competitive experience to train and produce world-class dogs. With Chad’s expertise and Karly’s hands-on success, Chasseur Malinois stands for more than just performance - it represents a commitment to the craft at every level.
