A few years later, with a couple of kids and a couple of dogs, Vicky and Mike decided they needed more room for their expanding family of children, dogs, cats and horses, so they purchased what is now Belquest Kennels & Cattery and began a full-service boarding, grooming and training facility.
The 18-acre facility is spacious and quiet – close enough to the center of town, but away from the noise and traffic of major roads. There’s a large meadow, a pond, an enclosed training area, plus the main boarding and grooming building and the Creamer’s own home right next door.
In addition to her success as an obedience trainer and handler, and as a breeder and handler of Champion Labrador & Golden Retrievers, Vicky is also a Master Groomer, a Companion Animal Hygienist, a National Dog Registry (NDR) registered tattoo specialist, and has completed seminars at Cornell University. Vicky arranges a variety of health clinics at Belquest, providing eye, heart, Optigen & DNA testing, Microchip and Tattoo services by area specialists at “HMO” prices.
