About our boarding kennels

Here at our dog boarding kennel we are all very passionate about dogs,I myself have owned and trained dogs for over 25 years! We have 6 Gun dogs that live in our kennels and 4 that live with us here in the house. The boarding kennels and grooming parlour give us the oppertunity to meet a huge range of dog breeds, from Schipperke's (Belgem Bardge dogs) to Irish wolf hounds and Entelebucher senenhund's (swiss cart dogs) to Newfoundlands. The list goes on !

After a long search for the right property, I finally found 'New Derrings Farm' and knew straight away it was perfect for a small exclusive dog boarding and training kennel.

In 2002, Derrings Kennels was established. This wasn't and still isn't a diversification, looking after dogs is what we enjoy doing all day, every day.

As well as boarding dogs, I enjoy training too, which can be very rewarding, with the right dogs and people.

Our shop opened in 2007 and has been a great spin-off to the boarding kennels because many people buy from us rather than hauling their own. We stock a good range of food, toys, beds, dog grooming accessories, leads etc... at competitive prices.

As for the dog grooming parlour, Julie moved her business here (Laund Cottage Grooming) in 2004 and has been a huge success. The partnership is great for both our kennel customers and ourselves for the mutual day-to-day support.

To help me run the boarding kennels, I have a manager 'Kirsten'. She too shares the same high standards as I do, but most importantly is a dog lover. 'Christine' is our only other full time member of staff and is also a keen dog lover. Our weekend staff are 'Dan' and 'Sarah', who are great with the pets... especially on wet Sunday mornings!

If you have any questions about our facilities please do contact us here at the kennels and we'll be glad to get back to you.
