Born to Protect: Inside Rolo’s Elite Lineage and Training
Rolo is a top-tier Dutch import Malinois from one of Scott’s K9’s highly regarded European breeders. With a beautiful light brown coat, friendly smile, focused demeanor, and notably muscular physique, he’s the optimal animal for both pet and elite protection dog. Just don’t let his show dog appearance fool you. He received extensive training as a police dog, preparing him to compete in the 2024 World Dutch Police PH-1 Championships. Rolo secured an impressive 17th place in this highly demanding competition, exhibiting his elite skills as a police dog. Rolo’s first-class training also includes advanced obedience, bite work, and protection training, all to the high standards required of Scott’s K9 protection dogs.
“Rolo represents the pinnacle of what we strive for at Scott’s K9 — a perfect blend of elite training, exceptional temperament, and unwavering loyalty. Every dog we deliver is hand-selected and trained to the highest standards, ensuring not only unmatched protection but also a true family companion. The sale of Rolo at $250,000 reflects the immense value of years of rigorous training and the peace of mind that comes with having a protector you can trust implicitly.”

The Price of Elite Protection: Rolo’s Market Value
Beyond his remarkable protection skills, Rolo was also carefully trained as a family protection dog. He received one-on-one training and socialization in a home with children and other animals, so he knows how to behave in a busy family home. Rolo is extremely focused and driven to work, but he’s also eager to please as a loyal and affectionate family companion, reflecting the very best traits of a Belgian Malinois.
Expertly trained protection dogs are an investment, and Rolo was no exception. However, the value and peace of mind that come with steadfast personal protection are nearly priceless. Rolo fetched the highest price yet because he provides unmatched safety and comfort to his new household. He received years of rigorous and detailed training. Combined with his well-balanced energy and personable, playful personality, this made Rolo a highly sought-after family protection dog. Ultimately, that meant his protection and companionship were worth a quarter of a million dollars to his new family.
