To the folks at Belquest: I took my dog, Clancy, to the Mt. Airy Dog Park today, and to my delight noticed that we had the long-awaited benches at last! I noticed your name on one of them as one of the sponsors and contributors, and I just wanted to write a note to say thank you. I worked with the Town of Mount Airy, doing some of the research for the Parks Board in order to get our first ever dog park. Again, thanks so much for sponsoring one of the much needed benches for our park!

Testimonials about our boarding/grooming/training services
"...I want to thank everyone for always taking such great care of McCloud. He always enjoyed his visits and "vacations" and the grooming was so well-done and Tammy always groomed him with such love. If/when we get another dog, I'm sure we'll be back..."

"My name is Stacey T, and my husband and I used your kennel on a number of occasions while our chocolate Lab, Murphy, was still with us. We were always very pleased with the treatment Murphy received under your care."
-Stacey T
I wanted to send an email to let you know Tino seemed to enjoy his stay. Usually he comes back from the kennel a little out of sorts. This time was different. It was like he came home his normal self. We also got him groomed before he came home, boy does he look adorable! We will bring him back for his next grooming. Thanks for making his stay great.

Vicky & Staff,
Just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of Monty while I was away for a few days. It was his first time away from home and needless to say I had some concerns about leaving him. I understand from the staff that he did great and as usual he looked beautiful after being groomed before coming home. Monty and I look forward to our next visit to Belquest.
Thank you again.

The cut you did on Reilly was 'over the top'. I came with a check yesterday already cut, passing along a $10 tip, but that just wasn't enough! Thanks again so much and we'll be back!
-Bob
Just a short note to say "Thank You". Asta and Mandy stayed with you for a week and when we picked them up they looked GREAT! I appreciate your wonderful treatment of my kids. They are back to their routine at home and act like they never went on a vacation. I would not hesitate to recommend your kennel!
Thanks again-

Thank you for the follow-up call about Guerric's most recent stay. I always feel extremely comfortable leaving him at Belquest. This started a long time ago when we first moved here from England, we had another German Shepherd called Remus, who had been suffering with Lupus for a number of years and was taking medication for his condition. We had to leave him the kennel for a number of months while we could find a place to live that would take large dogs while our house was being built. He had experienced 6 months of quarantine when we moved to England, so I was worried about his lengthy stay at Belquest. I should have not worried...I remember the day we picked him up after about 3 months in the kennel, and he looked very happy and well. Sadly, Remus died just over a year later, but I had said then, if we ever get another dog, I would only put him in Belquest Kennels.
So, I am glad we found Belquest Kennels on the internet, while we was in the UK many years ago!
Thanks for taking great care of Guerric.
-Mandy
Just a quick note of thanks. Will was not so "traumatized" as he seemed to be after the other kennel stay we did for him (different kennel). And the grooming was top notch! Never saw him look better. We WILL be back.

" I will be coming next Tuesday. Did great at the West Friendship shows. JJ got two 4 point majors and took breed one day from the puppy classes. With his 5 point major last week he only needs 2 points to finish. Katie took two 4 point majors and Best of Winners 2 days. Katie never dropped her tail and looked happy in the ring. Thanks for all the hard work you have done with my puppies. When I started classes I could not get JJ to walk on the lead."

"Thanks to all for taking care of Anabelle awhen she recently boarded there. Grooming was wonderful! We appreciate your services."
-Bernadette
"Our new pup, Hudson, is an absolute delight! He has been sleeping through the night since we got him (on July 3), has not had one single accident in the house and could not have a sweeter disposition. I cannot thank you enough for picking him for us. He is by far the easiest pup I've ever raised!"

What a WONDERFUL person your breeding specialist is. You are very fortunate to have such a wonderful employee at your kennel. She has been amazing through this entire breeding process...
She went out of her way to be sure everything on her end was going correctly. Here are a few things she did above and beyond her duties….she emailed me from her home, she called me from her home and gave me her cell phone number to contact her during her day off due to an appointment she had just to let her know the shipment arrived and the sperm was wonderful...
Again I just want you to know what a wonderful person and what a wonderful experience I had with your breeding specialist.
Also every time I had to call your kennel to speak to your breeding specialist a young girl that answers the phone is always so very pleasant!!
Keep up the good work…..
Thanks,
Cindy

"Hi! Just a quick note to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Tamu has been on a diet recently in preparation for being thoroughly spoiled over his first Christmas and his first Birthday, shortly thereafter! He’s growing into an extremely happy, well tempered boy and has no idea that he himself is indeed the real present over these Holiday celebrations. Thank you all for the cheer he has brought to our home."
"Every day with Tamu becomes a wonderful new adventure, with his incredible disposition and his “off the chart” intelligence."

"My daughter and I purchased one of your female chocolate lab puppies about two months ago and we thought we would write and give u an update. She is wonderful!!!!! Mocha is extremely smart and couldn't be any sweeter! She attends puppy classes and loves the interaction with other people and other dogs. Thank you so much! She is just what we wanted, and our 11 year old black lab loves her too! Thanks again!"

"The Simonator is still doing awesome :) My wife has limited how many times I can say "I love that dog" throughout the day! Ethan is awesome, he is our trainer on Saturdays and has some really, really great insight about how to teach the humans to setup the dog for success. We really like him."
