Company Description Riverview Farm Kennel has a new kennel, which is located in Cornersville, Tennessee. Together with our kennel in Franklin we have over 400 acres where our dogs train with open fields and hills and wooded areas and water, including the beautiful Harpeth River. In addition to Riverview Farm, we have training grounds in southern Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida, totaling over 20,000 acres for hunting and training. Each location provides a unique setting for the dogs, from the waterfowl in Kentucky to the quail in Florida. At home in the kennel, we have space for more than 80 dogs. Our kennels are specifically designed for the security and well-being of the dogs, immaculately cleaned with our impeccable sanitizing regimen every day, and equipped with TVs - for their entertainment ;). We have ten, very large, fenced in yards where the dogs can play and relax. Each yard is designated for a different group based on age, gender, and level of activity. The dogs are surrounded by wildlife, as well as horses, ducks, geese, goats, and even a few bald eagles that fly over occasionally and fish from the river. Riverview Farm truly is a dog's dream. Across the pond, we have training grounds in Scotland where our best stud dogs are trained on different terrains to ensure we are staying at the top of the game in Europe.
