Raising Waterfowl Dogs That Become Part of Your Family
At Waterside Kennels, our story is built on a love for dogs and a commitment to raising Labrador Retrievers that are more than just hunting dogs. They are partners, companions, and family members. Founded by Gary Hamby, a lifelong dog trainer since 1998, Waterside Kennels blends experience, passion, and hands-on care to raise dogs that excel in the field and at home.
Gary’s journey began with training his first Labrador. He quickly realized that the same joy he found coaching football players translated perfectly to dogs. Guiding a dog’s instincts, nurturing their natural abilities, and building a strong bond became a lifelong passion. Today, that philosophy drives every puppy and training program at Waterside Kennels.
At Waterside Kennels, we aren’t just raising dogs. We are raising companions and hunting partners you can trust for years to come.
Dogs are bred and raised to perform in the field and feel at home with your family
Building strong relationships is key to every dog’s success
We are here for you and your dog at every stage of life
