Our Experience
Northfield Kennels is owned and founded by Sam Daly, who started retriever training in the 1980’s. Sam brings a wealth of knowledge to Northfield Kennels with over 30 years of experience. Sam deployed with the 2nd Battalion 5th Marines to Afghanistan in 2012, and again in 2013 with 2MEF as a civilian contractor, training explosive detection dogs. Upon returning home, Sam founded a non-profit organization, to provide highly trained service dogs, free of charge, to disabled military veterans.
