Who We are

Welcome to the site Pryor Puppies Kennel has Registered puppies, we have valued and shared our home with puppies since 2003 – having had many great experiences to be thankful for. We have been fortunate with regards to meeting and inviting many great families, to be part of our own and we cherish the relationships we’ve gained.  Throughout the years we have made invaluable connections and friendships, thanks to our Mal’s. We’ve raised our children and our puppies simultaneously, which has allowed us the opportunity to have every one of our pups very well handled, nurtured, and properly socialized from the beginning.  Our Mal’s are engaged in almost everything we do….daily chores, coming to work for the day, enjoying various outdoor activities on our trails, going to town to walk the streets and socialize, marching in the local Santa Clause parade, entertaining guests, or just hanging around the house to chill. Regardless…not much is done in a day without them.

We have been members of The American Kennel Club (AKC) since 2004 and have been an AKC Registered Kennel of Purebred puppies since 2008. We are also members of The Barrie Kennel & Obedience Club

I (Pryor) am a Veterinary Technician/Doctor and Certified Animal Care Worker(Georgian College) with over 15 years of experience, and a passion for the well-being of all animals. I work at a veterinary clinic, that offers Integrative Veterinary care and Canine Reproductive Services.  I also have a special interest (and certifications) in Canine/Feline Behavior and training.  I have been fortunate enough to work in wildlife rescue/rehabilitation (certified also through Georgian College), developing a deep level of respect for wild and free-spirited animals, capable of living independently, and harmoniously with nature, and having what it takes to survive.  Perhaps this interest in wildlife and especially these characteristics was what captivated and intrigued me about dogs in the first place. We enjoy working with our puppy in rally obedience, conformation, agility, backpacking, dog sledding handling our dogs in film, and everyday life in general! Although challenging and heartbreaking at times, life with dogs, chickens, a couple of cats, a green cheek conure, a bearded dragon, teenagers, and a miniature pincher extraordinaire “Capone”…..is a very fulfilling one. 30 years of living with dogs and it still feels like yesterday we brought home our very first. We are raising and nurturing our entire family as naturally and holistically as possible.

“All health certificates will be made available to you  AND I stand behind my puppies for the life of the pet!”
We consider our mal family to be beautiful, loving, agile, hard working, spirited, intelligent and very entertaining !

We think of our puppy owners as our extended family.  We hope to stay in contact with you for many years to come.

 “These dogs are our family companions first and foremost.  We adore and respect them for everything they are. Our commitment to the breed as a whole includes striving to preserve this breed by making responsible breeding decisions, keeping the history and origins of the puppies in mind to produce healthy, well-socialized,  working, and noble representations of this magnificent breed, and educating the public to ensure placement of these dogs makes sense for the family and the dog!”

 As a Veterinary Technician, I have a strong knowledge of the health and well-being of my animal companions. I can discuss with you vaccination protocols, nutritional needs, raw vs kibble, behavioral issues, and overall health throughout the various stages of your dog’s life.  At Pryor Puppies Kennel we do many health tests before breeding our dogs at the appropriate ages.
