Welcome to Lucianhaus Working Dogs and Training

Owner & Trainer at Lucianhaus Working Dogs

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about Lucianhaus Working Dogs. My name is Victoria Keef, and I am the founder, trainer, and driving force behind this program.

My journey into the world of working dogs began in 2021. What started as a passion quickly became a lifestyle — one that now encompasses breeding, training, protection sports, and decoy work. My focus has always been clear: to develop dogs with correct temperament, balanced drives, and sound structure, capable of excelling in both sport and real-world work.

My heart lies in the working Belgian shepherd — particularly the long-coated Tervuren variety — and the working German shepherd. Bred and raised with purpose, they prove themselves to be intelligent, driven, and powerful partners. At Lucianhaus, my mission is to preserve and improve these bloodlines through ethical, selective breeding and advanced training. Every dog here is prepared to thrive — whether on the trial field, in protection, or alongside a committed handler in demanding working roles.

I currently train and compete in PSA (Protection Sports Association) and WDA (Working Dog Association). Suit sports, in particular, showcase a dog’s true character, testing both handler and canine under real pressure. As a developing decoy, I continue to sharpen my ability to read behavior, understand drives, and respond with precision — skills that inform every part of my work.

About Lucianhaus Working Dogs

Selective Breeding for Sport, Real-World Work, and Balanced Temperament

Our program is rooted in purpose and built on commitment. We focus exclusively on working lines, producing dogs capable of excelling in:

• Sport (PSA, WDA, IGP)

• Protection and law enforcement

• Personal defense and security

• Search and rescue

• Other demanding roles

Every pairing is planned with a long-term vision in mind. We prioritize:

• Stable, clear-headed temperaments

• Strong drives and nerve strength

• Biddability and trainability

• Genetic health and structural soundness

• Preservation of true working character and functionality

Our dogs come from proven European pedigrees, including Aggi Wind Wild, Gero z Berounske Basty, Extreme Orex Aykmar, Goro z Vetrovej luky, and Drago vom Patriot. Each was chosen not just for name recognition, but for their demonstrated ability to produce functional, balanced partners across generations.

Producing exceptional dogs requires more than pedigrees or titles. It demands an understanding of temperament, structure, genetics, and development — and above all, a lifelong commitment to every puppy we bring into the world.

Placement Philosophy

We take placements seriously. Every potential home is thoroughly screened to ensure the right match between dog and handler. Working and sport homes are given priority, but we also welcome committed owners who can provide a structured, fulfilling life.

Our promise is simple: every Lucianhaus dog deserves to be respected, challenged, and valued for life.

Our Vision

At Lucianhaus, we aren’t just breeding dogs. We are building future partners, preserving heritage, and raising the next generation of high-caliber working shepherds.

Whether on the field or in real-world service, our goal is to produce dogs who embody the best of the type: power, clarity, drive, and dependability.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
