Let me be the first to personally welcome you to the newest addition to Hidden Hollow Kennel... our very first blog! We are excited about this opportunity to stay in touch with the families who have adopted pups from Hidden Hollow, as well as those who are still searching for their perfect pet. Our objectives in creating a blog are:
#1- To inform you of new happenings at our kennel
#2- To pass along valuable information that will assist you in raising a happy, healthy pet (who hopefully knows where to go to the bathroom as well!)
#3- To help you get to know us, our values, and our high standards and goals
Let's start with a little introduction to us...
Jeff and I (Bridgette) are the proud owners of Hidden Hollow Kennel. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to raise quality, happy pups for families that are looking for their perfect little addition.
Jeff's role at the kennel is usually more on the maintenance end. He stays on top of all of the technical things, like broken washing machines and blown light bulbs. He is also working on a great new addition to our kennel. He's building a new "birthing center" for the expectant mothers, as well as a studio for you to have a place to sit and relax when you visit. He's working hard on it between his other jobs, but we're hoping to have it finished sometime in the near future! It's ready for drywall now!
I handle the marketing and online aspects of the kennel (Facebook page, website, and this new blog!). I am also usually the one to answer your emails. Once a week I help Kay with brushing all of the adults' teeth... it's an interesting job, for sure! But one we're happy to do for the health of our dogs. Every other week I also take all of the photos you see on our website (bear with me, I'm not a pro yet, but I'm learning!).
Kay is our Kennel Manager, who is also a certified vet assistant. She does all of the daily wash downs and feedings at the kennel, as well as grooming, etc. Her love for animals truly shows in the way she cares for each one of the dogs individually. She even knows who likes certain kinds of treats, and all those other funny little quirks each dog has. She is also the smiling face to greet you when you come for a visit. Kay's always willing to answer questions and make sure you have all the information you need to give your puppy and your family a smooth transition into this new journey.
There are several others who love to come and play with the puppies, such as Kay's granddaughter and our niece. It's so much fun to see the wonder and excitement in the eyes of a child when they see a bouncy little puppy.
And, of course, the stars of our show... our dogs! I'm hoping to give you a chance to get to know them better as well in the months to come (via the blog). We have some of the sweetest and sassiest all under one roof, but every one of them is absolutely lovable.
There you have it, folks! A brief look into who we are, and the roles we play in keeping our facility running smoothly.

From our family to yours,
