Kelsey’s experience
About Kelsey
I grew up raising and showing dachshunds. As a junior handler I learned how to train and work with dogs. I've always had a love for labs and got my first one at 16. I switched gears and started working on hunt training with my lab this passion blossomed into going to school for vet tech and getting a training degree. I love my hunting breeds and love sharing my passion of labs and Boykins with others
What makes Kelsey’s program special
It's a very strict small program, my pups are raised in home and come from completely healthy and great all-around parents. Each pup is handled from the first second,I use my veterinarian technician and training background to give each pup everything they need from the first breath to the time they leave and beyond.I strive hard to produce great puppy's and match the right pup to the right person.
