    I had an amazing experience with John at Three Kings Kennel. From the first conversation to the day I brought my chocolate Lab puppy home, everything was smooth, professional, and trustworthy. John was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about his dogs. My puppy is healthy, well-socialized, and has an excellent temperament — a true testament to the care and quality breeding at Three Kings. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Three Kings Kennel to anyone looking for a top-quality Lab.

    John was very easy to work with. From the get go he was quick to communicate with us about our puppy, Rebel. The process was very simple and enjoyable which allowed us more time to prepare for the excitement of our puppy. We enjoyed receiving videos throughout and when the time came for Rebel to come home to us, John was willing to drive out to Florida to drop him off for what would have cost merely a half tank of gas for me. Rebel is a perfect dog. I plan to use him for hunting and so far he has shown amazing intelligence and athleticism. He has a lot of energy and love for my family, and I recommend 3 King Kennels to all my friends who are looking for their very own hunting buddies.
