Old River & Company
MORE THAN A TREND
Mark Minton
PRO STAFF MEMBER
I grew up hunting and fishing in the foothills of North Carolina. As a
child I developed a love for dogs, especially hunting dogs. If I wasn’t
playing sports I was hunting or fishing. I graduated from North Carolina
State with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife, and worked as a North
Carolina Wildlife Officer. As a Wildlife Officer I graduated from the
Ventosa Canine Academy, and worked as a K-9 officer. My K-9 partner
Bonnie, a black Labrador Retriever, started my love for the Labrador
breed. This led to me acquiring Bonnie’s sister, Maggie, and the
beginning of what is now One Oak Kennels. One Oak Kennels, located in
Mocksville, NC, is truly a one of a kind kennel. I currently breed elite
working Labradors, and many of my dogs are well loved hunting partners.
I also train in obedience, gun dogs, tracking, antler detection, and
service dogs. I’m very excited for the opportunity to be part of the Old
River Pro Staff.
