Kennel 1
Kennel 1 was the original.
This kennel was home to our smaller dogs. Labradors and Golden Retrievers. This is where it all began.
Kennel 2
Second Addition
Kennel 2 was our second added kennel. It was the largest kennel and stronger than Kennel 1 to house our large breeds, Mastiffs and Danes. This was a great setup, but we still had room to improve. Reinvesting as we grew, allowed us to upgrade again.
Kennel 3
Third Kennel Addition
Kennel 3 was our newest added kennel. Located behind Kennel 2, this Kennel has longer runs to have space for the Shepherds to run.
Whelping Building
Newest Addition
We are proud to introduce out newest building. This "state of the art" building is where the mommas birth our pups, and your newest members of your family. Easy to clean, and equipped with washdowns for easy sanitation. As well as custom made doors for ease of use, and heated concrete to keep the pups warm. The heated concrete lets us move away from traditional old heat lamps and use a safer more regulated temperature for the newborns. Also including a water filtration system to ensure the pups have the most pure drinking water possible. This building is well insulated, and has multiple HAVC units for maximum climate control. Also having space to let mommas out under the shade of the porch to have some down time from pups.
Whelping Kennel
Newest Kennel Addition
This more practical kennel is nearing where we want to be. With the properly sealed concrete we can sanitize and clean more effectively. Also the smooth surface is better on the feet and pads of our pets. Also with concrete there is zero chance they can be in the dirt within their primary enclosure, which is against regulations. But still allowing them to have a play area of grass to get out and stretch their legs on a regular scheduled basis. We do have a few more improvements up our sleeve for the future, but watching this career develop as our puppies grow is such a blessing. This kennel attaches to the new whelping building.
