Visit  our  Adult Kennel  Setting and our New Bunkhouse

We do not have a large  kennel operation as  we  are a family hobby kennel.

We have provided a few  nice comforts of home with  a shady setting  for our  labees .

We normally  house about  5 -9 labradors at one time  with a  few geriatric house dogs and a young puppy or two.

This is the main covered  kennel where  we keep our adult labradors. Some we are showing now  and a few we may be growing up to take out  and  compete  with later.

We recently built a second covered run to house   our boys or older Labradors.

We have lots of sand put down here and were putting in the  supports for the roof.

A new metal roof to protect from bad weather.

 Concrete flooring is nice in the  summer to spray with  water to keep our  dogs  cooler.We have added over head fans to help spoil our dogs.

 This is for the boys to hang out in .

The run is basically completed and very  roomy.

Our NEW BUNK HOUSE for the kids

We have always whelped our babies in the  house  so that they  are close to us those first  few weeks.

They stay just off our kitchen   where we have a dutch  door to monitor them and mommy We use a video camera to watch the babies at nite in our  room.

When  our puppies  are  around  3 -4  weeks old we  then move them in to  what  we  call the BUNK HOUSE . It is set up  right out side our back door.

We spent a lot of time designing this sweet little home for the  mother and her puppies .

We continue to use a live monitor camera on the puppies so we can  watch them nite or  day . We have it insulated very well so  we can  keep them  warm in the  winter with heat or  air conditioned in the  summer.

They  enjoy the comforts of music and  daily socializing in their new  nursery. Summer litters  learn to open a two way puppy  door and  wander out on to our covered patio deck, dezigned to teach them to potty out side . The sounds of the out doors also help them adjust to different  stimulus.

Out on the patio

Mommy  can  come and  go as  she pleases to nurse her puppies or  come back into our  house.

 When the babies  are older we litter trained them.

Our puppies  are  wormed at 3, 5, and 7 weeks old.

We then vaccinate at  7  weeks old .

 Our puppies have information  packets made up with the  pedigrees , and clearances of the parents  to  take  home .
