Celebrating Progress, Performance, and Partnership
Here at Mockingbird Kennels, we encourage all puppy owners to participate in AKC sports! To encourage involvement, we have an excellence program. As you and your puppy progress through the program, Mockingbird Kennels will send you a reward as a thank you for finishing the title! Rewards include sport relevant equipment, toys, and more. The program is designed for every level of handler to succeed in! These rewards only apply to a puppy bred by Mockingbird Kennels, and can be discontinued at any time.
