Prefix : DANA (Labrador Retriever)

'Dana' Kennels established in 1974 started off with one working gundog and has grown from there in the early days we had a 7 acre lake on our farm ideal for Labradors. Over the years we have used imported bloodlines and shown our dogs to Championship level and beyond as well as maintaining the inherent working ability. We have had our dogs in the Kiwi recovery program, used by the Blind foundation, drug detection and working Gundogs as well as the loyal family companion to many families some of whom have had 3 of our Labradors over the years. We were fortunate that in the early years of showing and breeding to have help and advice from one of the greats of the Labrador World in Nell and Tom Jobey of Te Reinga Kennels. We were one of the first Kennels to do the hip and elbow testing in NZ and have carried on to do all the tests we can to continue to breed sound happy Labrador puppies that confirm to the standard of broad and strong. Puppies sometimes available to approved homes.

Prefix : DANA (Welsh Springer Spaniel)

Dana Kennels was established in 1974 with our first Welshie joining us in the early 80s. Our three boys took her everywhere with them on the farm and she was their constant companion, she was also shown and achieved her Championship Certificate. Over our long history with this lovely breed we have bred and shown Nationals Winners as well as agility dogs, working gun dogs, and of course many loyal family companions. Our first imported Stud dog came from the Slyvkin Kennels in Australia when we were lucky enough to see the litter and select our lovely boy Rhett 'NZ Ch Slyvkin Gwillym' over the years we have had three lovely boys from this Kennels and we are grateful to Sylvia and Bill for the privilege. We were among the first kennels of any breed in New Zealand to test our breeding stock for any problems of a hereditary nature and have continued to do so.
We sometimes have puppies available to approved homes.
