History of Candlewood Kennels

It all started in 1958 when 'Tugger' placed in my first field trial. I started doing litters in 1960 from good field dogs that I saw week in and week out.

I think the success of Candlewood as a breeder....is I have seen, watched, and ran against all of the dogs that are in our gene pool since 1958. A little over 80% of my pups go as hunting dogs, family pets, companions, and they do so well because of health clearances. Most importantly, our pups are raised in home environments and not a kennel situation.

We breed all three colors and have excellent field lines in these colors. I have also brought in excellent conformation lines that work well in the field and crossed with field lines. RESULTS - excellent working dogs that are pleasing to the eye. Then there is that old saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"!!
