Appalachian Dog Training LLC

Appalachian Dog Training LLC breeds Golden retrievers in Mills River, NC, serving Henderson County and Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. Owner Katie Weibel has more than a decade of experience breeding dogs and holds membership in the American Kennel Club, conducting routine health screenings for hips, elbows, and eyes.

Puppies are raised in a family setting where they receive daily socialization, basic obedience work, and exposure to farm sounds and environments. The kennel is located on a small homestead surrounded by fenced pastures, allowing young dogs to develop strength and confidence safely. Drawing on its training background, the operation gently introduces each litter to positive reinforcement methods and early problem solving. Bloodlines include parents with championship titles and temperament assessments, ensuring well-balanced puppies. Recent families note the gentle nature and adaptability of the puppies, praising their readiness for both companion homes and therapy work.
