The History of Dog Breeding at NMF
Putting our passion for dogs aside especially large breeds, the impetus for establishing a professional canine (K9) Dog Breeding unit at the farm was largely driven by the need for farm security. Without a shadow of a doubt most farms at least in Uganda are faced with insecurity, ranging from petty thieves to those that come with the intention to steal, plunder and kill! Faced with such a threat and at times sporadic thefts, it dawned on us to decisively deploy Guard and Protection Dogs.
The farm now is well secured by trained and highly protective dogs. The safety of the farm and all immovable and biological assets (as Accounting Standards define livestock) are well secured.
The pleasure and benefit of having ‘working dogs’ are phenomenal! Having dogs at the farm has taught us a lot about them, and has created in us a passion and the drive to share the benefits of having well looked after, trained, and bred dogs with individuals, families, and many other parties out there that believe in not having just any dog but a well-bred dog with clear lineage history!
Our insecurity grew into the goal to selectively breed, groom, and train guard and protection dogs whose value can be shared with YOU!
Our Dog breeding and training program is done under the brand name NMF Kennels, a key business unit of Nimukama Mixed Farm.
What Dogs Do We Breed
Our observations show that, whereas there are many dog breeders out there, few care to follow ethical breeding standards, nor are there many that, care to breed dogs that have superior pedigree lines.
We care and take time to find dogs from superior well-known pedigree lines; some are known to be the best in the world. For example one of our Malinois Male Dog is an important offspring of Berry II. Berry II was the 2010 trial called ”KNPV Stud Dog Trial” in the Netherlands. It has gone on to father many Police and Military Grade dogs and has even been exported out of the Netherlands. The Malinois (Belgian Shepherd) is phenomenal!
We believe that Quality is not expensive but priceless, and this drives us to breed only with the best to satisfy our clients with exceptional quality.
The Dogs We Breed at NMF Kennels are mainly 4 these are the German Shepherd Dog, the Belgian Shepherd Malinois, Rottweiler, and the Boer Boel.
