Meet the breeder

I'm Kelly W., the breeder behind Thornbury Kennel located in Madison, GA. We work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded Husky and Labrador puppies that will make others as happy as our dogs have made us! Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to leave with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!

Q. & A. with Kelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I decided to get my oldest child an Siberian Husky. After doing research and thinking I made the right decision, we purchased a sweet, red & white, Siberian. We named him "Atlas." We loved him! But long story short...he was not registered, had parvo, parasites, and after we got home..could never find or get in contact with his "breeder" agian. It broke my heart to see him be in pain. That started a fire in me.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Siberian Husky puppies include black and white, sable and white, black tan and white, brown and white, red and white, white, and black. 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.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Thornbury Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Brucellosis

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Animal Genetics Panel, DNA Profile, DNA Disease Panel, Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Full Embark Panel, D Locus (Dilute) DNA test, Cone Degeneration, Labrador Retriever Type

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Kelly was awesome. Knew we made a long trip to come get our new puppy and had everything ready when we got there. Puppy was already well socialized and fit right in with the rest of her new pack once we got back home. She was a pleasure to do business with.

    Excellent experience! I highly recommend Thornbury Kennel. They truly care about their dogs. We were lucky enough to pick our furbaby when she was only 3 days old. Kelly kept in touch with us about milestones and progress our baby made and Kelly has been so helpful any time I had questions about our girl. It's very special to have pictures of our girl growing up beginning at 3 days old! Our little girl is the prettiest princess in the neighborhood and has a great temperament. She has brought so much joy into our lives. She’s really sweet with our senior pup and they became best buddies in their first weekend together. Thornbury Kennel is the only place we will go for our future husky babies!

    Kelly was so responsive and kept us updated every step of the way! She is dedicated to breeding the most healthiest and loving puppies. We absolutely adore our baby girl and she is everything we imagined and more. She is settling in well as the newest addition to our family and is providing my son comfort already as his emotional support animal. Thank you so much to Kelly and her family for raising little Everest and we look forward to working with her again in the future when we are ready for her to have a sibling!
