Bob and Rita Knoll currently have 1 Labrador Retriever and 1 Curly Coat Retriever and they are involved in dog sports such as obedience and agility competition, conformation, flyball and tracking. They would like to expand upon their hobby and acquire 2 more mid-size sporting dogs. The applicants have provided a letter of application and site plan which indicates that the dogs will be kenneled indoors and there is a fenced exercise yard. They have stated that they do not intend to conduct any commercial activities such as breeding, selling, training or boarding, if the private kennel permit is granted.
