Our family lives in the beautiful small town of Danville, Vermont.
We are Labrador aficionados and breed and show English type Labrador puppies to the AKC standard and recognized AKC colors Black, Yellow and Chocolate. (Yellows Labs can range in shade from a dark reddish to a light cream color.)
We use only the best Champion show and health tested bloodlines around, and try to breed well rounded Labs that make great family pets, can be shown, do obedience, rally, agility or work in the field if that is what you desire.
All of our English Lab puppies are raised inside our home with our family so they are well socialized on a daily basis, we also start on basic potty training and crate training while they are here. We breed to improve therefore the sire of the litter is often not our own dog.
We follow the breed standard as set forth by the Labrador Retriever Club.
GreenBank Hollow Farm is set among the Green Mountains of Vermont and owned by Bruce Brink and Patty Sullivan. Bruce and Patty have decades of experience as breeders and trainers of exceptional Morgans and Irish Setters.
Miniature Schnauzers have my heart along with my Maine Coons. I take pride in my Schnauzers which reflects in my breeding program, in their environment, health, temperaments and the testimonies from happy families. I want to offer families a Responsible Breeder from which they can purchase a healthy Schnauzer puppy from parents that have been health-tested and have wonderful temperaments. If you live far away and you can’t come here in person; I have travel options that make it possible for you to still get a happy, healthy and well-adjusted puppy from me personally.
GretchAnya was established with our first German Shepherd, Gretchen, in 1995. We strive for puppies with good conformation, excellent temperament and medium activity level. We are hobby breeders who average two litters per year. All our dogs are family members first. During the day, they enjoy spacious outdoor runs, where they are kenneled with a pal. In the evening, they warm their paws by the fireplace.
In 2002 we were thinking of getting a beagle….we were hunting alot but always hunting with my brother & his hounds. He called me one night & informed me that he was going to get me a beagle for Christmas. I told him NOOOO we were traveling alot & a dog just would not fit into our lives. After chatting with him for awhile he informed of a man that had some nice hounds for sale & in fact was the same man that he & my father had in years passed purchased one of the best beagles that my father ever owned. HE WAS VERY CONVINCING!! Well after talking with him I called the man that had the beagles for sale. But it was a little to late, he had sold them all. After talking with him for some time & he telling me of their pedigree. I ordered up not one but two beagles. He would be breeding some of his females in the spring & I was put on the top of the list. I only wished that I would have ordered up 4 instead of the 2. Trisca was whelped 6/13/03 on a FRIDAY!!! So her name……….Triscadeca………….Triscadecaphobia is the fear of the number 13. But so far all good LUCK!! Anny was whelped 8/22/03. My all around favorite shotgun being 12 gauge ……& so Barker Brook’s 12 Gauge Anny. Barker Brook borders my land……..a good name for the hounds!! These Girls just took over our lives!!! We got Trisca when she was 8 weeks old & she went everywhere with us. At that time we did alot of hiking & she hiked many a trail. A favorite game with her………I would run ahead & hide. Jack would hold her back & then let her go. She would always find me no matter how far ahead I would get ahead of her. This was always a game to her but would prove an asset when I started to train her for rabbit hunting. These Girls have a great nose, desire & brains They were a joy to train. We were shooting rabbits over them at 6 & 8 months old. What a pair!! Like I said I only wish I had 2 of each of their breeding………A good cross of each of those litters. The first Field Trial I went to was in the spring of 2003. I saw an ad for the Androscoggin Trial & went to observe. I was so amazed by all that was going on & asked alot of questions. Everyone there was very helpful & explained what was going on. I would later end up joining this club. The last couple of years have flown by. We have become regulars at the field trials & have met some great people. The trial people have become our extended family & we have had many great times. We have added 2 males to our kennel. A nice black & tan with some white……..Barker Brook’s Blackdash Bogey. We purchased him when he was 8 wks old ….. Sire FC Babbitts Brown Face & Dam Nelson’s Black Velvet Same as the the Girls a real pleasure to train………he has a great nose,desire, foot, brains & MR. PERSONALITY PLUS!!!! You take him out in the wild & always come home with at least two for stew!! Then there’s Barker Brook’s Waylon Willie ………whelped 6/23/06…….a nice male that ran his own rabbit at 12 weeks old, half a circle in the large training area of our club. A lot of nose,desire, brains, & a big mush pup. His sire is Can FC Getemout El Zorro & Dam Rood Pond Blaze……..A very strong male……..he can run all day & not tire……Trisca & Anny have proven themselves over & over again both in the wild hunting & on the Field Trial Circuit. These four hounds are the Foundation of our Kennel. So there you have some idea of what we’re about. I hope you enjoy our site!!
We have been breeding dogs for over 15 years. Our dogs are family dogs who love to hang out with us and the kids as well enjoy bird hunting.
Male German Shorthaired Pointers stand between 23 and 25 inches at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 55 to 70 pounds.
We have owned a lot of different breeds of dogs over the years, and we have loved them all. BUT from the day we got our first female American Bulldog, our lives changed. We are a small kennel of 6 dogs in all. Some of our main concerns are good quality pedigree and bloodlines, participation in hip x-ray programs, and importance of nutrition and exercise. We prefer to sell our puppies as family pets, to people who will pamper and love their dog like a member of the family.
