To start off, Our Family Dog is are baby ! Yes, We are guilty off spoiling Our Puppers!!! She had Major Surgery at 6 Months old & Barely made it threw... She is are Miracle Puppy! We travel a good bit so We were very protective so she would travel with us and that was hard Bc of her size and made it also made her nervous. A friend told Us about Cherokee Kennels & that was the only place she would leave her baby dog to. So, We decided to give it a shot. Put it this way, she was 7 months old when she went for the first weekend & now she is 3 1/2 years old. That should say it all! This is not your regular kennel! They let your dog out to play more than the Clinics do "no offensive, just saying" & the environment around her is beautiful , fun & comfortable for your Dog ! Long narrow kennels that lead to nice size space inside for there bed and great for our big puppers!!! Chickens, geese, pond all in front of there kennels! Amazing Owner, She is SO wonderful to Our Baby! Only place we will leave her! I give Cherokee Kennels more than five Stars.... I give it a 10... Highly recommended !!!!!
