A warm welcome to Black Walnut Kennel!

The Beginning

Harvey & Susie pursue their vision for a premium pet retreat

Harvey and Susie Muxlow established Black Walnut Kennel in 1993.  It soon became a sought after retreat for pets and their owners alike.

Harvey’s expertise in crafting top-notch buildings and Susie’s boundless love for animals shaped the kennel into a warm and welcoming space.

A new Season

John and Brooke take the reigns to continue the legacy

After 30 years of dedicated service, the time came for Harvey and Susie to enjoy spending more quality time together. Enter John and Brooke, close friends, neighbors, and fellow pet enthusiasts. The transition was seamless, a testament to the strong bond between the two couples. With John’s entrepreneurial spirit and Brooke’s compassionate touch, they stepped into the business, breathing new life into the legacy of Black Walnut Kennel.
