Passion for Dogs,
Built Over Decades
Eddie and the Zion Kennels team have been training retrievers and gun dogs in East Texas since 1994. What started as a deep personal passion for working dogs has grown into one of the most trusted training operations in the region.
Every dog that comes through Zion Kennels is treated as an individual — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. The goal is always the same: a confident, happy dog that excels at what it was bred to do.
Whether you're preparing for AKC hunt tests, competitive field trials, or simply want a well-mannered hunting companion, Eddie's hands-on approach and decades of experience deliver results you can count on.
"Any dog that would go to the line with him was always happy. None ever looked afraid or timid."
— Laura McCaw
