This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic.
The topic here, by my definition, is a series with main characters who are K9 handlers. This is the third round of series in this theme as it is a favorite of mine and I am always trying to find more. These are the ones which came to mind. I enjoyed some more than others.
For those who want more K9 stories, here are the first two K9 Series on Saturday:
Since I haven’t read everything, it’s a subset of the possibilities. I’m sure I am forgetting some great authors. There are also plenty of authors I have yet to read. Please share your favorites with me in the comments, also.
My favorite K9 series are (in no particular order):
Reed & Billie K-9 Alaska National Forest K-9
by Dustin Stevens by Elizabeth Heiter by Kathleen Donnelly
Jessica Anderson K9 Mysteries Coyote Run K9 Heroes
by DL Keur by Marta Acosta by Rada Jones
What are your favorite series?
Vote for your top 3 favorites! You can vote for my favorites or add favorites of your own. Remember this is how the winning option is chosen for the giveaway.

Lots of great choices here! I’m heading to Goodreads to check them out😁
I just really enjoy K-9 stories and the more dog training and work the better. If there is a mystery or romance that’s ok but I must have the dog!
I’ve not seen any of these! Like Tammy, I’m off to check them out.
Well it’s the third round of books I have found so I have to keep searching. I’ve “found” all the older, or longer series or traditionally published ones in earlier rounds mostly. But I keep looking.
There are so many good mysteries and romances with K-9 co-stars. I’m only familiar with some through your reviews and have added a few to my wish list 🙂
I hope you love them as I do.
I haven’t read any of these ones but I looked at your other K9 posts and I read a Katie Ruggle book before that was good.
Well Naida, if you are interested you have plenty of options. The Sandra Owens ones are set in the Blue Ridge area.
I haven’t read any of these, but I do love a K-9 partner! I’ll have to check these out.
I hope you like some of these. I always enjoy reading about K9.
I love it when dogs play a role in the story so I do enjoy a good K-9 book. Thanks for the recs!
You’re welcome. It’s one of my favorite types of stories, hence I’ve done 3 rounds of recs.
I don’t know that I’ve ever read a series with a focus on dogs, unless you count The Iron Druid. LOL!! But since I don’t tend to read suspense or military, that’s probably why.
Well some of these are romantic suspense but many others are police or search and rescue teams with a romance side. Some are about dog training facilities / teams and rescues or shelters. I think you would like some of them.
Puppies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are sometimes puppies but more full grown trained dogs.
I need to read more books that feature K-9s so thanks for sharing these. 🙂
No problem as you may be able to tell they are favorites of mine.
