Rippling Water
Kennel


Peggy and David Roderick welcome you to Rippling Waters,  "Where Dogs Come First"

Located in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, Rippling Water Kennel is the culmination of many years of planning, dreaming and just plain hard work.

We have dedicated the past 20 years to selectively breeding and showing our dogs.  A dozen years ago we established a boarding kennel to provide quality 
care for a small clientele.

 



We feel fortunate to share our lives with several  wonderful breeds.  In addition to our French Bulldogs, we are now experiencing the joys of life with a herding breed - our congenial Cardigan Welsh Corgis. We breed, show, train, live-with and love both breeds. The challenges of breeding are rewarded by the laughter and joy each of our dogs brings to us, every day.

We are happy to share our love, our experience, and
occasionally our puppies, with other like-minded 
"dog people".

Our breeding program is limited to a few litters per year. Each breeding is carefully planned for health, temperament, and type in order to produce sound, athletic puppies for ourselves and for select show and companion homes.

All pet quality puppies are sold on limited registration with spay/neuter contracts. We welcome visitors and are happy to answer breed questions by phone or email.

We do not ship.

 
Boarding Kennel



From giants to toys, dogs boarding with us enjoy the luxury of spacious indoor/outdoor runs set on the bank of a rippling mountain stream. 

For "two-dog families", we have several double runs available.  A shady half-acre exercise yard is a great play area for those so inclined.

 
Our boarding kennel

'our boarding kennel'

Family companion or show dog, we want each to have 
a happy, stress-free experience while in our care.  The mental and physical health of your dog is of primary importance to us.  We designed our boarding and grooming facilities with comfort, safety and 
security  in mind.

Reservations are required for boarding and grooming.  We are open 7 days a week except in the winter when we are closed on Sunday.

Appalachian Trail Hiker Service

We are located near the southern boundary of the 
Great Smoky Mountains National Park and provide shuttle and boarding services for Appalachian Trail 
dogs while their owners hike thru the park.

Reservations are strongly recommended.
