What is Canine Care you might ask?
What Keeps Us At The Top?
Griffin Kennels is Canine Care Certified.
Griffin Kennels is kennel number 118 of 225 currently in the United States certified and regulated by the Canine Care program. This program is to ensure all dogs are not only cared for, but that the dogs' mental well beings are being met as well. This is a voluntary program to hold ourselves to the highest standards found in the US. In order for our Kennel to maintain our certification, we must meet or exceed rigorous standards for physical and behavioral welfare of our dogs, in areas such as nutrition, veterinary care, genetic screening housing, handling and exercise. With this higher standard, we have very strict protocols for biosecurity. For this reason Griffin Kennels is a "Closed Kennel". Meaning we only meet offsite for customer relations. Please feel free to do your research on their website. It will be time well spent.
Kennel 1
Kennel 1 was the original.
This kennel is home to our smaller dogs. Labradors and Golden Retrievers.
Kennel 2
Second Addition
Kennel 2 is our second added kennel. Largest kennel and stronger than Kennel 1 to house our large breeds, Mastiffs and Danes
Kennel 3
Newest Kennel Addition
Kennel 3 is 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
The Whelping Building is in the works. Long needed and very excited to complete in the fall or winter of 2024. We have had temporary space in a climate controlled environment for our birthing mommas up to this point, but to have a space of their own with all the finest amenities will be a wonderful addition for these birthing mommas.
