When My wife told me she found highly recommended trainers, Braveheart, I looked them up and panicked....but I looked up a Pit Bull breading place in southern Virginia, not this Kennel and heir trainers in Maryland (both where named Braveheart). This morning we had to put our wonderful friend to sleep. She was 14 years of wonderful, fun, kind, and gentle memories. While she had most of these traits built in, Braveheart was a strong factor in her starting out right (well almost starting out, we was found roaming in Fairfax Virginia before we recused her, she was put into training at about 1 year old). She adored the Braveheart team. She was happier and better behaved after training. And, didn't even mind when we had to kennel her twice after that training. The team built very kind kennels (heated and cooled) with each stall having access to outside. They walked her several times a day. And, whenever you went there, you would see them working with one or more dogs. All the dogs looked very well treated and happy. While today is a sad day for Me and my Wife, I am truly thankful for Braveheart Kennels and the impact on our best friend, Chloe Thank you Braveheart, Bruce

Currently 15.5 pounds, should gain a few more but not many.

They frolic outside happily playing on a ranch. I heard they are soon making a little pond for the puppies to play in so you can join them and swim with them (don't quote me on that though). As a JMU student I learned that the secret to getting A's on finals was to take a chill day to pet some pups. All of their dogs are up for adoption! I would love to get one someday. The pups are popular so make sure you get on the waiting list if you want one. Also, you can just visit if you make an appointment online and donate 5 dollars (CASH) or more when you visit the ranch. **You can not visit without an appointment so call ahead first!**
