RAINBOW KENNEL

We are located in scenic Jeffersonville Vermont. We are about 4 hours from Boston area. We have a wonderful inhome nursery. Our pups are handled from birth and are groomed starting at a very young age. They are vet checked before going home (new litters are ready at 8 weeks) and consistently pass their vet checks. Pups are vaccinated, dewormed , and go home with a health certificate, medical records, an informational booklet, starter food and a stuffed toy for familiar scent. Puppies are Health Warranteed.

Our Greatest Pleasure is

to get a referral from one of our puppy owners or to have a happy family come purchase a second puppy! Our puppies have been wonderful family members, successful therapy dogs and often excell in obedience and agility.
