Welcome to our Dark Forest
Dark Forest Kennels Dark Forest Designs Dark Forest Garage .
Our beginnings can be traced back over 100 years starting in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
West Virginia. This is where my Grandfather Brady Vickers first applied his skills toward
engineering products for dogs that were not yet readily available, while breeding and
training specialized hunting dogs. These skills were constantly improved upon and handed
down to my father. In 1978 Dark Forest was officially created and it's doors were open to
help owners and canines from all over. Continuing the tradition to this day, we have added
specialized engineering to our product lines as well as a strong veterinary background.
These skills and traditions are being passed on right now to our next generation so they too
can strive to bring you only the best in Pet care, training, education, and products available
today, tomorrow and beyond.
Today we have exceeded far beyond a simple Kennel. This is why we refer to ourselves as "The Dark Forest Group". We are a group of specialized business combined
into one family. We have one simple motto across the board........ Provide superior engineering, superior products, and superior service to all of our customers while
treating them and their pets as if they are family.
