A place where pets are individuals

In September 2018 we purchased BnB Kennels, formally Happy Camp.    

As you are entrusting us with your family members, we thought you would like to know a little about us. We moved here from the Sunnyside area where we lived for 14 years (Sybren almost 20 years). 

We have been raising dogs since 2004, early years Yorkies but later Min Pins and Bouvier des Flandres.  Feel free to check out the Mensonides Kennels Facebook group page.

Before coming to the valley, Michelle worked at JELD-WEN as an administrative assistant to the Sr. Vice President of Financial Services.  Her interest in 4-H gave her the opportunity to be involved in a dog 4-H club and she was the Livestock Director at the Yakima Valley Fair & Rodeo for several years. 

Sybren has had a dairy cow hoof trimming business in the valley since 2002. He grew up on a dairy in The Netherlands and immigrated here with the hopes of owning a dairy.  

Cameron is studying  business at Columbia Basin College.  He works on projects and helps with the kennel.  He helped Michelle with the dogs and puppies through the years and has a love for the dogs. 

Josh is a local ER nurse. He rents the single wide on the property which gives another person watching over things.
