Meet the breeder
I'm Nancy D., the breeder behind Sunstar Kennel located in Moore, SC. We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality hunting dogs that also fit into a home setting. We focus on breeding dogs that have the drive to keep up with our lifestyle, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting.
