Thank you for visiting our new Internet site. As an established kennel, we want to give you the opportunity to stay in touch with our progress. I have been a dog lover basically since birth in 1958. When I was about 5 years old we moved "out in the country" on a dirt road and my dogs were my constant companions. I grew up with mixed breed dogs. There has never been a time in my life without dogs and I pray there never will be. I began breeding and showing AKC dogs in 1983 and did so for over 20 years. These days my focus is on matching wonderful pets with loving homes. Since we get more calls for dogs than we can safely and comfortably breed, we occasionally buy and sell some pups. This is why I will occasionally have large breed pups available . Sometimes I will take in or buy older pups and dogs and try to find them good homes. I do NOT call myself a rescue because this is business for me, but hopefully I get some dogs into pet homes that otherwise might not be able to make that transition. I have dogs because I love dogs. I like to be around dogs and dog people. I have house pets, farm dogs and dogs that travel with me. I've sold dogs to places as far away as Holland and Japan and am well versed in shipping procedures.
My idea of a perfect evening is to sit outside on the swing with several of my favorite dogs in the swing with me or in other chairs or around my feet. The only time I travel without a dog in the vehicle is if it is too hot to leave them in it when I have to go into places they are not allowed. We are fortunate at this time to have two lovely young ladies, sisters that come on a regular basis to care for and play with our dogs. This allows me to feel safe when I do have to be away knowing they are cared for by people who know them.
We are making an effort to present you with our entire selection of available pups and dogs as soon as possible. At this point we will provide you with pictures and information as quickly as we can list it. Unfortunately I have Hughesnet as a provider and can not even access my web hosting service thru them. This makes it difficult and time consuming to keep updated. Currently we list available pups thru PuppyFind, K9Stud and Next Day Pets because it is easy to access these providers thru my Hughesnet account. We are happy to answer your e-mail and phone calls about others that might be available but not yet posted on our site. The emphasis of our site is letting you know who we are, what we have to offer and sharing news and tips as they become available to us. We are continually adding to our Health/In The News Pages. You will need to at least scroll thru the articles because I will add them where I think they best fit, not just at the top or the bottom.
In the meantime you can reach us at [803 270-0228]. We are looking forward to hearing from you. You can also contact us at our e-mail address: [calabel@hughes.net].
If you are not familiar with our kennel and your first contact with us is online: We would be pleased to hear from you! Please let us know what your needs and questions are, we will be more than happy to help.
Cash is the only payment method we will accept here at the farm if you come to pick out and pick up your puppy. We will accept Paypal, MC, Visa and US Postal Money Orders for payment of dogs to be shipped. MC/Visa payments must be taken thru my Veterinarian's Clinic during his business hours.
In brief, you should know the following about us: our kennel was established in 1983 and has been providing outstanding puppies and dogs ever since. Our specialty, now, is in the area of companion dogs. Our repeat customers particularly value our ability to match the personality of the pup to the needs of the owner.
Our business is located in Johnston, South Carolina.
