Dockstader's Kennels

Dockstader's Kennels, cane corso, Doberman pinscher and German Shepherd dog, Marshall, NC, Madison County and the Asheville area. The kennel follows American Kennel Club guidelines and ensures each adult dog completes recommended orthopedic and cardiac health screenings under veterinary supervision. Operating on a family farm at the edge of the Blue Ridge foothills, the property provides spacious pasture areas and climate-controlled kennels for all stages of life.

Dogs live alongside family members during the day and enjoy supervised play sessions on quiet country roads, with puppies exposed early to typical home sounds and gentle handling. Abbey Dockstader applies principles from her background in animal behavior to introduce basic training through positive reinforcement and social walks. Daily routines include grooming checks and tailored feeding plans that support growth and overall well-being. Each litter receives veterinary checkups and age-appropriate vaccinations before departing the kennel. Local owners often remark on the puppies’ calm dispositions and robust health when they leave for their new homes.
