O'Brien's Kennel

Dear friends and customers. We would like to inform you that O'Brien's Kennel will be closing its doors on January 5, 2021. West Roseville is ever evolving in terms of development and the Kennel has lost its home. The plan is to relocate, but it may take some time. Please check our website periodically for updates at www.obrienskennel.com. We still offer gun dog and obedience training but not at the Kennel. Keep in touch - we will be back!

We have 9 beautiful Brittany babies. They were born on 6/11/18. Six orange and white - three liver and white. We will post pictures soon. They are just now toddling about and eating a little solid food. Really fat little rolly-poly pups.

We are expecting a Brittany litter in a few weeks. We will keep you posted.

Here is beautiful Rocco. He is one of O'Brien's own German short-haired pointers and he is stunning. Thanks to Rocco's family for sharing with us.

We had puppies last night! Ten gorgeous Brittany babies. Mom and pups are doing well -- eight orange and white and two liver and white. We will keep you posted. They won't be ready for new homes for a couple of months. Call 916.991.3007 for more information.

We have a litter of sweet German short-haired pointers. Two solid liver and four liver and white. Very classy pups. They are ready for new homes!

July 4th is upon us and what a day worth celebrating! Americans all over the United States will be enjoying the celebration with backyard barbecues, camping trips, parades, and music. But, lest we forget, the big finale to the day is a night sky filled with shocking flashes of color and big booms that make your heart race. While we can appreciate this, all that racket can scare a dog half to death! Plan ahead to keep your dog safe. Secure those gate latches, as many dogs... that had no escape issues before, will panic, and try to run from the noise. Shelters always expect a spike of loose dogs on the street during this time. Better yet, do not leave your dog unsupervised at all. Talk to your veterinarian about ways you can help your dog get through all the noise. You can also board your dog in a safe place -- we have room at the Kennel and there is no scary noise there. We are a phone call away www.obrienskennel.com

German short-haired pointers are typically a hardy breed and from our experience, they seem to remain sound well into their senior years. Here is Millie - can you believe she is a senior dog? She keeps on rolling. Please give us a call if you want to talk German short-hair!

O'Brien's Kennel is currently taking reservations for gun dog training. There is no better time than now to get your canine hunting companion ready for the field. Give us a call and get your dog rolling.

Gino in action!

Meet Gino - one of O'Brien's Kennel's finest! Gino was the last of a litter of Brittany puppies bred by Earl Wood, owner of O'Brien's Kennel. It seemed Gino had been forgotten, until a few years back photographer/hunter and journalist, Harry Morse, was commissioned to take photos of Gino and simply fell in love with him. It was a perfect match and Gino has proven to be an awesome dog in all ways possible - - bold hunter, magnificent temperament and gorgeous. Did I say gorgeous too?
