Monkeyshine Kennels

Please also check out our boarding page; Monkeyshine Kennels Boarding and Daycare My grandfather, Mario DiMambro, started the kennel in the early 1950's. My grandfather & grandmother Shirley spent the last fifty years owning, breeding & training bird dogs for all of the various activities they & their customers were involved in. Many dogs now competing and winning in AF, AKC, NSTRA, and HUNT TESTS

carry the Monkeyshine name in their pedigree's. My grandfather died in May of 2008. For a few years prior to his death I was privileged to accompany him on several training and trialing adventures. We were trying to finish his last dog FC MONKEYSHINE'S M GO BLUE MAXIMUM, and we did it! It was a great experience for me and I was grateful for the opportunity to spend the last few years of my grandfather's life watching & learning from a man so dedicated and passionate about bird dogs. He told me he could not think of anything else that for him, could have taken the place of competing with high class bird dogs. I have been training dogs professionally for over 17 years. I started by training a few good hunting dogs. Now I am training competition field trial dogs as well as hunting dogs. I want to thank you for taking the time for visiting the site.
