Amber Valley Kennels

Hello and welcome to Amber Valley Kennels, a small breeding facility dedicated to improving the Golden Retriever and Beagle breeds. Located in Howard County, Maryland just 30min from Baltimore and Washington D.C. and about one hour from the PA line. My name is Hannah Swann and I've had dogs for most of my life. I started Amber Valley Kennels back in 2006 with the goal to produce healthy puppies that are wonderful family pets. As the saying goes, "I breed for quality, not quantity". Rearing and training puppies and dogs are my passions.

All the dogs at Amber Valley Kennels receive much care, affection and training which results in super temperaments. They enjoy romping around on the land where we live and the surrounding farms. Many people comment on their calm personalities and are amazed that a dog used for breeding could be so well behaved. The kennels are always kept very clean and the dogs are in excellent health. I do not breed dogs that are shy or aggressive.

I have AKC and UKC registered Beagles. The main colors they produce are: Tri-color, Black & Tan, and Chocolate (aka: Red/White, Copper Nosed). These are some of their bloodlines: FC Rob's Diamond II, FC Jerrys Little Charlie, FC Nomad's Buckshot Mr Bill, FC Hillcrest Bear, FC Browns LA Dark Black Bob, FC Bungalow Hill Chico, and FC Ward's Boggie Holler Tessie. All my Beagle puppies have beauty and brains! They make super family pets or rabbit hunters and are great with children. Out of all the 161 breeds recognized by the AKC in 2008, the Beagle ranked 5th in popularity!

My Golden Retrievers are AKC registered. The puppies generally range from a blonde to golden color. All previous pups have turned out to be absolutely gorgeous with awesome temperaments to match! They are calm, well-socialized, loving fur balls who are ready to bond with their new family members upon arriving home. They are very smart and excel at events such as Obedience, Agility, and Retriever Hunting Tests. Their desire to please and friendly disposition has made them one of the most popular breeds in the U.S.

Amber Valley Kennels currently has puppies who have found a home with families in these states: New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. I can ship pups via air at buyer's expense.
