Our Place

Still slowly rebuilding my blog after the epic Typepad meltdown took all my images with it.

Hellfire Kennels is situated on 360 acres of rolling grassy hills and forest that borders thousands of acres of BLM land. We have two one acre play yards and a 40 acre “back yard” with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Several coveys of partridge live in the fields, rabbits are ridiculously plentiful and it seems like every day is a barn hunt of one critter or another. We have a small, squeaky clean, heated/cooled indoor kennel of 8 runs. Our dogs are NOT prisoners and the only time they are confined is during bad weather, heat cycles and if I need a break from the doggy door action and zoomies.

Our puppies are whelped and raised in the house, using established science, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and socialization enrichment activities, like those found in the Puppy Culture Workbook. A livestream camera is offered 24/7 from just after birth until the puppies leave…or they destroy the cameras. (Which is around the same time – lol!) Visitors are only allowed after the puppies have had two sets of shots, and only by people on our litter list.

We are about 70 miles from the BZN airport, 2 hours from Yellowstone National Park and 3.5 hours from Glacier National Park. Our new, local airport in BTM, only flies Delta. We prefer you pick up your puppy in person, but because puppies are not fully protected from dangerous viruses at 9-10 weeks old, we discourage long drives with rest area stops and hotel stays along the way.

Finally, we only offer 1-2 litters a year. Our dogs are not a business and our home is a PRIVATE residence, just like yours. We do not allow drop in visitors from people we don’t know, ever. Our property is monitored by several security cameras to keep an eye on area wildlife and spaniel shenanigans.

Our little puppy play yard. The lavender gate opens up to the one acre play area.

The big puppy play yard is one acre of mowed and unmowed grass.
During summer months, cool pools are in every yard.

The puppies are taken out into the field several times a day.
The ball pit is used a LOT!
Our runs of various sizes are sparkling clean, heated and cooled. None of our dogs are kenneled fulltime.
