Where Dogs & Families Thrive

Waterside Kennels is more than a breeding and training facility. It’s a place where dogs are raised with care, training is rooted in positive reinforcement, and families receive the guidance they need to maximize their dog’s potential. Whether you’re looking for a field-ready waterfowl dog or a gentle family companion, we help match the perfect dog to your lifestyle.

Built on Trust. Backed by Results.

At Waterside Kennels, we know that a great dog is more than just a companion; it’s a partner in the field, a teammate in training, and a member of your family. Our Labrador Retrievers are carefully bred for intelligence, drive, and temperament, giving hunters and dog lovers alike the confidence that comes with a well-trained, healthy, and capable dog.

We proudly serve families and waterfowl enthusiasts across South Carolina and surrounding communities, helping each dog and owner succeed together.

From Our Family to Yours

“As a family-owned business in South Carolina, we bring years of experience and a deep passion for Labrador Retrievers to every aspect of our work. My journey started on the football field, where I loved helping players reach their full potential. When I first trained my Labrador, I found the same excitement in nurturing her natural instincts and guiding her development.
 
Today, that enthusiasm drives our carefully crafted breeding program and training approach. We focus on producing healthy, well-tempered puppies and matching them with loving homes where they can thrive. At Waterside Kennels, we’re committed to helping Labradors excel both in the field and at home, ensuring they shine in every aspect of their lives.”

“Gary is a true professional. He answered all my questions and made sure I got the perfect puppy. Luna is healthy, well-socialized, and a joy to have around. I highly recommend Gary at Waterside Kennels to anyone looking for a top-quality dog.”
