Ashley with Tina (Beauceron), Gira (Doberman), and Chaka (Chihuahua)
Ashley Allstun
With over 20 years of experience with Dobermans, Ashley has a deep love and understanding for the breed. Establishing Elitehaus in 2013, she set out to create the “Total Doberman”. Placing extreme value on each quality, and not just cherry picking one or two, she has combined superior conformation, temperament, working ability, and health.
With a love of both working lines and show lines, Ashley understands that both types have a lot to offer this breed, and both have a place within her program. From shows to trials to work, each breeding dog is put to the test before becoming a breeding candidate. This ensures not only good health through extensive health testing, but sound minds and temperaments which are equally important and often undervalued.
Ashley has experience not only with Dobermans and breeding, but also training. Ashley has been a professional dog trainer for over 15 years, specializing in working breeds and solving behavioral issues most other trainers will refuse.
Since 2007, Ashley has attained titles on both her personal and her clients' dogs in conformation (SV style and international shows), Schutzhund/IPO/IGP (tracking, obedience, protection), AKC obedience, and more. She is an American Kennel Club evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen, Community Canine, Urban, Canine, STAR puppy programs, Trick Dog Titles, and Fetch Dog Titles. She is also approved to certify dogs for therapy work through Therapy Pets Unlimited. and is a professional member of the IACP.
We believe having a strong understanding of training and behavior is extremely important when it comes to selecting dogs for our breeding program and preparing puppies for their new homes. Ashley also participates in a variety of continuing education in both training and breeding aspects. It’s important to remember that learning never stops when it comes to training and breeding.
Kayla with Murphy, Swish, and Tybalt (all Beaucerons)
Kayla Wattle
Kayla has always had a love and passion to work with animals, especially dogs. Growing up, she always had animals from cats, birds, ducks, pot belly pigs, and has never been without a dog at her side. Her first dog as an adult was her border collie Ace, who opened the door to her career in the dog world.
Prior to becoming a dog trainer Kayla worked in veterinary medicine and was a veterinary technician. While she enjoyed learning and working in veterinary medicine, she also knew that she wanted to learn more about animal behavior and the importance of learning how they communicate and the relationship we have with them.
Kayla has been with the Elitehaus since 2021 and has worked alongside Ashley who shares the same passion and dedication for Dobermans, Beaucerons, and dog training.
Kayla is an AKC Family Dog evaluator (Canine Good Citizen, Advanced CGC, Urban CGC, STAR puppy), AKC Fetch Dog judge, IACP professional member, and is Pet First Aid/CPR certified.
Kayla currently has five dogs of her own and a three year old son.

Miranda is a dedicated dog trainer who is passionate about building strong, positive relationships between families and their new four-legged companions. Her journey with animals began at a young age, fueled by a deep love for anything and everything with fur and hooves. Growing up in beautiful Oregon, where the great outdoors was her playground, she spent years riding horses and competing in barrel racing. She was in 4-H and FFA - an experience that shaped her understanding of trust, patience, and connection with animals.

From nurturing newborn puppies to training in a variety of disciplines, she finds so much joy in guiding dogs and their humans toward success and harmony.
