Meet Justin Smithey. Located in beautiful North Georgia just 5 miles off of I-75, Sugar Valley Farm and Kennel provides the room and resources to produce top quality show animals. Owned and operated by Justin Smithey, whose love of pure bred dogs started at the age of 16 with the purchase of a whippet from Calvin Perry's long-standing Appraxin kennel. Italian Greyhounds were soon to follow with the help and guidance of Carol Harris of Bo-Bett fame. The interest in show dogs has turned into a full time business with Kennels In The Country, a modern 2500 square foot boarding kennel. Justin also attends over 150 dog shows a year as a successful Professional Dog Handler. In addition a small, but active breeding program has thrived. This breeding program has resulted in numerous champions and acclaimed wins in all levels of competition. These Whippets and Italian Greyhounds have enhanced the breeding programs of others in the states and and abroad. Justin is the proud Breeder, Owner, and Handler of the Top Winning Whippet in AKC History, GCHP Pinnacle Kentucky Bourbon. "Bourbon" has over 100 All Breed Best in Show wins to her credit and was Reserve Best in Show at the prestigious 2020 AND 2021 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Bourbon and her littermate GCHP Pinnacle Tennessee Whiskey were both Best in Show at the AKC National Championship, each bringing home the coveted $50,000 prize! The top priority of Justin and his staff is to assure all animals in their care are safe and healthy. There is much emphasis on freedom of exercise and opportunity to play outdoors. This, along with top quality nutrition and regular expert veterinary care guarantee all animals at Sugar Valley Farm & Kennel reach their full potential.
