Just for anyone looking for a great kennel, I ended up using Happy Tails in Cochrane. Mike is really great with the animals and good at organizing various breeds so that they're compatible with one another.
The best part for me is that there's a 2.5 acre enclosed space so unlike the two other kennels I visited, the dogs have plenty of time and space to run around. The whole area is part of a wildlife reserve and they have students coming from all over the world to gain experience there so there's definitely a love of animals.
Highly recommended...
