Jackson Creek Kennel

With 2 Bloodhounds and a Basset, family getaways can be difficult since it generally costs us almost as much to put-​up the dogs as it does for our family of four to stay in hotels. Additionally while pet-​friendly hotels can sometimes be accommodating, we’re still left with the question of what to do with them while we’re sight-​seeing in places where they either can’t come or when I just don’t want to have 3 dogs in tow.
Jackson Creek Kennel has just alleviated any future concerns. We know that Clifford our Big Red 130+ lb Bloodhound can be a handful for some people, and while the ladies at the last place we kept him, another local kennel, let us know that he was welcome to come back, their conversation also let us know that he a bit much for them to handle. Subsequently, we haven’t gone anywhere in these last few years that required his staying with someone else. It wouldn’t be fair to them, but we also worried how well he would be treated if someone simply wasn’t comfortable with the big guy.
We took all 3 dogs to meet Dale, the owner, about a week before we wanted to leave, just to see if we’d be able to go away. While we were standing there talking, Clifford walked-​up behind him and unsuspectingly chop-​blocked him from behind just below his knees. Dale just gave the ol’ boy a hearty pat on the back while laughing and kept on with the conversation. «This could be good», I thought to myself, «This guy is good-​natured and has handled a lot of dogs.»
I wasn’t wrong. We enjoyed our time across country without a worry, Dale having gotten the necessary contact info from us beforehand. When we returned, he sat with us and discussed all three dogs’ behavior while we were away. It was obvious that he spent time with them a got to know each one. The supervised walks were a plus.
Thanks very-​much to Dale & Jackson Creek Kennel, I’m looking forward to being able to take my family on a vacation again next year.
Very professional. Clean. Caring and Accommodating. Better than we anticipated.

Dale over at Jackson Creek is great. You can leave your dog there for Boarding and he will take them on an hour long «Freedom Walk» for only $ 5. The dogs love it and gets them some time to socialize with the pack. Did I mention that his boarding prices are only $ 20; I love a deal!
