Break of Dawn Farm & Kennels

This kennel from which my Labrador came from 2 years ago, is a travesty! I left my pup there for a week during my vacation. I picked him up to find scarring on his face, ears, and throat. I called to speak with the owner Anita to get the story of why and what happened. Her answers where "he used his head constantly to push on the kennel door to get out and play", and that "he scratched a lot around his collar". My lab uses his NOSE to open doors not his head, ears, and around his eyes. Nor has he ever scratched his neck around his collar at home till he had scabs (much less scabs in the form of bite marks). Without going on a rant I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE YOU from using any of this kennels services

Nita & co. have been taking care of our dogs & cats for almost a decade. The farm and kennels are like home to our pets, and the staff like family. The kennels are spotless and comfortable. The large, fenced in dog yards are divided into areas for small, medium and large pooches. They can swim, lounge under pavilions or run with other dogs until they're exhausted. Our pets actually get excited when we tell them they're going to the farm. A bonus is that it's just 10 minutes or so from the airport, so dropping off and picking up when we're en route is easy. Break of Dawn's the only kennel we'd ever consider using. Nita's years as an animal wrangler for motion pictures gives her insight into animal behavior, and her extremely well-trained staff lavishes care on our pets.
