Machenry

Machenry breeds Labrador retrievers in Hunter, NY, serving Greene County and the Hudson Valley near Albany.

Elisabeth Henry-Macari has spent over a decade nurturing bloodlines recognized by the American Kennel Club and follows health protocols including hip and elbow evaluations and eye screenings. She also holds membership in the Labrador Retriever Club and draws on guidance from regional judges and breeders to maintain breed standards.

Puppies are raised in the family home with daily socialization around children and other pets to foster confident temperaments. Occasional litters are evaluated for temperament suitability in therapy settings and some dogs pass preliminary assessments for local animal-assisted programs. The kennel often attends community events to share updates on upcoming litters and training workshops. Adults enjoy supervised hikes across nearby state forest lands and learn basic manners before joining new families. Machenry supports new owners with guidance on nutrition and training to help dogs settle smoothly into their homes.
