Meet the breeder

I'm Libby A., the breeder behind Red Clay Kennels located in Axton, VA. We breed for temperament and strive to preserve our bloodlines, while maintaining the breed standards. We have been breeding for 9 years and truly love the breed and we have an appreciation for their intelligence, loyalty, companionship, as well as their abilities in the field.

Q. & A. with Libby

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My husband grew up breeding alongside his father and grandpa, so he always wanted to continue that legacy. We both are dog lovers and GSP's just fit our lifestyle. While we love to hunt and be outdoors with our dogs and watch them excel in the field, we know that they make equally excellent companions at home. We have such a passion for the breed and upholding the breed standard.

  • What makes your program special?

    We love our dogs and we hope it shows through the care we provide for our pups. What makes Red Clay Kennels special is, the work that we put in to be the best and better our program each year. We are always striving to be better than the year before. Our dogs are family and we know each of them and their personality. We use that information to make sure you get the best fit for your family.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include liver roan, white and liver, liver and white, black roan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Libby @redclaykennels was extremely pleasant to work with. She was super responsive, knowledgeable and super proud of her pups which gave me confidence in her. This was my first GSP and after so much research, RCK was the one breeder that really stood out to me. I brought my little guy home just over 3 days ago and I am so in love. I can’t wait for the adventures and hunts! Thank you Libby!

    We have had our GSP for about almost 2 weeks and absolutely love him! Libby is fantastic to work with. She answered all of our questions and concerns that we had. She is also very easy to speak to and accommodating to make the process easier for us. Highly recommend RCK!

    I could not have been happier with Libby and Red Clay Kennels! I felt that my questions were answered and my concerns were addressed. I had a bad experience getting a GSP and didn’t want to get burned again. Now I have the cutest GSP on earth! Gunther has a loving home for life. He’s healthy, happy and super smart.

    I had such a wonderful experience working with Libby. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions, and made everything feel easy and reassuring from start to finish. After having my German Shorthaired Pointer, Stella, for nearly 17 years, I knew how special this breed is and how important it was to find the right breeder when I was ready for another GSP. Libby made that decision feel comfortable and right. It was clear how much care and love she puts into her puppies, and I felt confident every step of the way. I’m so grateful for Bella and would absolutely recommend Libby to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and supportive breeder.

    Working with Libby and Red Clay Kennels was a wonderful experience. This is our third GSP, and after searching throughout New England without finding the right fit, we traveled from Maine to Virginia to bring home our puppy. Using Good Dog was convenient and easy, and Libby was thorough, responsive, and always willing to answer questions and share photos (thank you!). We’ve only had our boy for one week, and he has already completely filled our hearts!

    I found Libby from Red Clay Kennels, Gooddog I had just lost my 7 year old pup from an enlarged heart. It was devastating as a puppy mom. Argos, was my first GSP and quickly fell madly in love with him. My husband was devastated as well. He knew how much I loved this breed and couldn’t deal without having another GSP in our lives. That’s when Libby came into our lives. I researched online when I found Gooddogs. I had reached out to several GSP breakers sharing my grief, in hopes someone had new pups. Libby got back with me asap. Libby had me call her and we spoke for a good amount of time. She was so compassionate and felt my pain. After choosing our new little pup, Libby worked with us about picking up our new puppy. Libby’s family have such a positive and love for her pups. Libby’s mom and dad pups are absolutely beautiful and healthy. Even after speaking and communicating with her I started to get feedback from other breeders. I didn’t even hesitate whether or not to follow through with our new pup from Red Clay Kennels. I politely responded to other breeders that I was so grateful, Libby’s pups was my first choice. Staying in touch with Libby has been so important to us. Libby is such a sweet, honest, kind person and GSP breeder. I can’t say enough about my positive experience with Libby and the decision to bringing our new pup, Zeus home. Libby, Red Clay Kennels has been a great experience for my husband and me.
