Our Dogs

At Rhodes Avenue Kennel, our dogs are first and foremost family. They live in our home, adventure with us, and are raised with daily structure, training, and love. We focus on selecting each dog for temperament, health, and breed integrity.

Our dogs are:

  • Health tested through The OFA for Hips, Elbows, Thyroid, & Etc.

  • Genetically screened for all recommended breed-specific conditions through Paw Prints Genetics & Embark.

  • Selected based on structure, temperament, and health

We believe dogs shouldn’t just look good; they should live healthy, happy, fulfilled lives. Every dog in our program represents the best of what we believe in:

Sound minds, Sound bodies, and Sound genetics.

If you’d like to learn more about a particular dog, please reach out!

We’re always happy to talk about our crew.
