Larry and Christie are long time professional dog owners and lovers as am I. They have cared for several of my terriers of all personalities and ages over a period of 25 years. They are the only ones I let take care of my pets because of their knowledge, experience and attention to detail. The kennels and grounds are very clean and well organized. My dogs have been and continue to be safe, happy and well cared for there whether young or in old age with health issues and I recommend this kennel and it's owners without hesitation all the time - and I will continue to. In response to the one negative review - why weren't your animals on preventive and why would you go to Wal-Mart to buy shampoo? I don't need flea and tick shampoo and I certainly would not go to Wal-Mart to get it. I don't need flea and tick shampoo. I use regular dog shampoos and premium preventive in use purchased from reputable pet supply businesses and vets - you are obviously an amateur pet owner and clueless. And I have never had flea, tick or any other issues when I have left my dogs at this kennel. They come home clean, happy and healthy. Larry and Christie are warm, caring and intelligent people who have served the Richmond dog community for years and their reputation is outstanding with all of us. Someone doth protest too much without knowing what they are talking about. Tolkien's Kennel I thank you for your many, many wonderful years of service and will be calling shortly to make my reservation for upcoming vacation. The fact that I have to make a reservation speaks for itself, too, that's how popular they are.
Pros: Experience and knowledge of owners, high standard
