NORTHWOOD MOUNTAIN KENNELS

Northwood Mountain Kennels (NMK) was founded in 1972 in Middletown, California on Cobb Mountain. My first GSP was purchased by a well meaning boyfriend as a gift from—of all places—a pet shop!!! I recovered, fortunately, by tracking down the mid-West breeder listed on my AKC papers and learned all I could about my pup’s parents’ lines and about her breeding program. My Maggie turned out to be an awesome hunter and her first litter was out of DC/AFC Erdenreich’s Marz Marsh, CD. I decided early on to stake the NMK name on good temperaments and a Dual Quality breeding program. When I secured my first show puppy (and great hunter) NMK’s Placer Country Snowbird, I had my foundation sire with Dual Quality to base my future breeding program on.
