General:
We are not a public facility, for this reason we ask that all potential clients set up an appointment. If no appointment has been made, BRK staff does not have to accommodate the client at that time, only set up an appropriate appointment for a later date.
All owners are expected to pick up after their dogs while on BRK property. Bags for clean up will be supplied upon request. Bags should then be disposed of in the specified containers by the agility field and kennel.
A port-a-potty is on site for customer use. Please do not dispose of dog waste in the port-a-potty. If there is a problem with the bathroom, please notify a staff member, we will be happy to take care of your concern. No dogs in the restroom please.
Parking:
All parking is on grass and mulch, please park against the tree line.
Please do not go to the house driveway (gated)! To get to the parking area, please proceed to Stockton Start Rd at the corner of Victory Farm property and the driveway is on the right. For more detailed instructions, click here.
Kennels:
Belle Rose Kennels is situated on beautiful Victory Farm in Chestertown, Maryland on the Eastern Shore. We are a small facility with four standard indoor/outdoor kennels, five large stainless steel crates, and two outdoor kennels. Belle Rose is unique in that it provides individualized attention for all dogs several time throughout the day and the kennel is surrounded by a fenced in field where dogs have the opportunity to run around and play several times during the day. There is also a 5 acre grass, fenced in field that dogs, who are deemed “reliable,” will be able to enjoy further playtime periods if the owners wish.
All dogs have constant access to fresh water in their crates and play areas, a bed with a blanket or towel, and a stainless steel bowl for food. The kennel area is heated and has excellent ventilation however, extra fans and heaters can be applied to each individual kennel if needed. The kennel is shaded during the day and shade cloth is used to cover all kennels to provide additional protection from the sun. Owners may supply toys, bedding, or a food bowl to be used within their dog’s individual kennels if they wish.
Outdoor Training Facility:
At Belle Rose Kennels we currently offer Agility training, Rally training, Nose Work, Tricks, and Obedience/Manners classes throughout the week in a securely fenced field on the property. All equipment is able to be utilized by all levels and sizes of dogs. A small crating area is provided for owners wanting to crate their dogs during class time when they are not participating.
**BRK would like to thank Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue for the use of their agility equipment**
