I am the happy owner of Greg vom Slaney Vale, this entire experience has been amazing! Hugh & his breeding program are first class all the way, his knowledge & willingness to help you can't be beat! Greg is an incredible dog, very well bred!

My family and I were lucky enuff to receive an E- litter puppy from Hugh. She (Elaine VSV - call name Gertie, has since become the apple of my wife's eye, my two small children's beared best friend and a source of great pride for me personally. Her training continues to progress well and she will run her Natural Ability Test later this summer under the the NAVHDA system. She possess' an excellent nose for birds and has been perhaps the easiest and most willing dog I have ever trained. Contrary to all of the stories of sharp tempered and aggressive DD out there, Gertie is almost certainly the most mild maannered and gentle dog I have ever had the pleasure of being around! I can't say enuff good things about Hugh and his dogs. Having never owned a versatile breed prior to Gertie I did all kinds of research to ensure I was purchasing a dog that in time would be both a good hunter and loving addtion to my household. I am very happy and Greatful to have found Hugh and Vom Slaney Vale Kenn

I am so impressed with your web site. Your passion and love for the DD is evident, and heart warming. I especially enjoyed your comments about old dogs. I, myself owned Britts for 20 years, before discovering the "ugly dogs". I am hooked. The next dog I buy will be from Slaney-Vale. Viewing your website has improved my already great Father's Day.

Thank you so much for our wonderful puppy, Francis. You have a true gift with dogs and it shows in your pups and your breeding program!!

Wow! what a ride. Less then 3 years ago Bernice aka. Brier was to be my last dog. I was committed to train her to the best of my abilities, as first time V - dog owner my expectations were ? I found, her talents seemed limitless, her drive phenomenal, she trained me to find new challenges to keep her thirst to learn stimulated. Her testing accomplishments through JGHV and NAVHDA were spectacular, earning a title of prize 1 VGP and versatile champion is proof of that. Needless to say Brier has changed Rita's and my life. What do we do now that our testing is over? Go hunting of course and be ready for another pup! Mark
