Happy Valley Kennel

Happy Valley Kennel raises German shepherd dogs, Labrador retrievers and Dachshunds in Bell Buckle, TN in middle Tennessee near Nashville. Krista Wade has been breeding for over ten years with American Kennel Club registration and routine hip and elbow screening for her lines. All dogs live in a home setting and receive daily socialization, early training, and regular veterinary care.

Several of its German shepherds have earned working titles in scent detection, and Labrador retrievers from this kennel often excel in water-retrieval exercises. Puppies are raised with household routines, social outings around town and supervised time on the kennel’s small acreage. Prospective owners note the friendly temperaments and balanced energy levels across all litters. Nestled on gently rolling hills, the kennel allows dogs to explore varied terrain under constant supervision. Health certificates accompany each puppy, and Krista offers guidance on nutrition and balanced development.
