Title: Conway Kennels
Post by: ST42 on August 19, 2013, 08:42:55 AM: On Saturday I ran our new Drathhaar pup up to Conway Kennels for an evaluation. Had the pleasure of meeting Brooke Jr. and our pup is all set to start his education at the beginning of Sept.
Just like our first Drathhaar, our new pup is 100% go! No hesitation on birds, and it took all we had to get him away from the pigeon coop.
This will be our first dog to be sent up to Brooke, anyone here have any experience with Conway Kennels?

Thanks
ST

They do a great job with all their dogs and all you have to do is spend a day with Bucko (brooke jr) and you will see the passion and commitment they have. I got a pup from them this Christmas and she spent two months up there with him. She is a machine and I am excited to get her out in the blind. Feel free to PM me with any other questions

I had my lab puppy with bucko for 2.5 months and he did amazing things with my dog. My pup came front a Great breeder and was trained by the best trainer. You will be amazed at how well your dog comes into heel and the OB will be outstanding. Great Choice with Conway Kennels.
