Shady Creek Kennel

Shady Creek Kennel breeds cocker spaniel, German Shepherd dog and Labrador retriever in Section, AL in Jackson County near Huntsville. The kennel has been welcoming litters for several years and follows recommended health protocols, including hip, elbow and eye screenings.

Each puppy grows up on a peaceful rural farm with creekside runs, fenced paddocks and shaded play areas for early exercise. Michael Hancock oversees daily care and positive reinforcement training to build confidence and strong bonds. Socialization begins from the first weeks, with puppies introduced to farm sounds, household routines and regular human interaction.

The team understands each breed’s unique temperament and needs. Cocker spaniels thrive on attention, German Shepherd dogs benefit from structured work and Labrador retrievers adapt well to active family life. Past puppies have become family pets, therapy partners and sport competitors while families appreciate guidance on nutrition and ongoing support.
