Nan-Dool Kennels is located near Forest Lake, MN and has long been associated with field trial quality chocolates. In 1983 the kennel moved to new property adjacent to the 24,000 acre Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area. The area abounds with wildlife; deer, geese, and ducks are often observed during the training sessions. The kennel grounds originally consisted of wooded areas and low wet ground. A multi-year transformation has made the area into excellent field trial training grounds. In fact the ponds turned out so well that the grounds were used as a pre-National training site for the '85 and '93 National Amateurs Championships.
