Amber Valley Kennels was started
with the goal to produce healthy Beagle puppies that are wonderful family pets.
I had the fun experience growing up with
a variety of animals and have owned dogs most of my life. My first puppy was incidentally a Beagle and
ever since they have been my favorite breed.
Rearing and training canines of all ages are two of my passions. My one Beagle, Leela, and I have passed the
Delta Society Pet Partners team screening.
She has visited various hospitals and nursing homes providing animal assisted
therapy and activities. It’s been neat
to see how a little dog can help with things such as--taking a person’s mind
off their pain, motivating them to speak or do a physical exercise, and simply
brightening up their day.
Many people comment how they are
surprised at my Beagles’ quiet, calm and friendly dispositions. They are a very intelligent breed with one
impressive nose. :) I think two things that really stand out
are their easy-going personalities and ability to adapt to different
situations. Out of the 167 breeds recognized by the AKC in
2010 the Beagle ranked 4th in popularity!
During your puppy's time with me
they will be exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, smells and situations
which gives them a great start to becoming well-rounded adults. They make great family companions and are
wonderful with children. Along with
quality health and temperaments, I am always endeavoring to produce puppies
with good looks and conformation that conforms to the breed standard. And
naturally to accomplish this one must start with parents that are good specimens of
their breed.
My dogs are registered with the United
Kennel Club and also have many AKC reg. ancestors. The main colors they
produce are: Tri-color, Black & Tan, Chocolate (aka: Red/White, Copper Nosed),
and some have blue and redticking. Their bloodlines include: FC Rob's Diamond
II, FC D Fred’s Sambo, FC Nomad's Buckshot Mr Bill, FC Burdette's Little Darbin,
IFC Bungalow Hill Chico, FC Blue Creek Ben, FC Star R Haymaker, FC Venn's Dutch
Charlie K, FC John’s Buck VII, FC Jerrys Little Charlie, FC Hillcrest Bear, FC
Fam’s Wanna-Win-Sue, FC Seminary
Valley Lil Haystack and many more!
AVK currently has puppies who have
found a home with families in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Virginia,
Delaware, and Colorado.
