About Us

Broadview Kennels was founded by Dr.John Furr in the 1960's where he ran his own veterinary clinic and small boarding and grooming service for cats and dogs. After years of successful services he sold the property and the boarding and grooming services Dr. James Wingert. In the late 1980's Dr. James Wingert built a new veterinary clinic on the kennel property, even with all these services something was missing,in 1990 Dr. James Wingert allowed Robert Eckhardt to start his own Dog Training and behavior center.

In just 7 years Robert was able to purchase the kennel property and its services. Since then it has been his passion and pride to continue to have a safe, clean, honest, and reliable place where people can bring their animals and know themselves that their animals will be taken care of in the best way possible. Our Company is owner operated everyday, YOU HAVE OUR WORD ON IT.
