ABOUT LIBERTY RUN KENNEL
Once In A Great While, You See A Dog That Takes Your Breath Away
At Liberty Run, we strive for that dog. My life truly involves dogs: from the minute I wake up until the time I go to bed, the day involves dog care, dog training, or working on something involving dogs. I own and operate a boarding kennel and grooming business in the Oklahoma City area, and I currently serve as Recording Secretary for the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club of America. Liberty Run Kennel is located in Guthrie, Oklahoma, just north of Oklahoma City.
My professional life with dogs started after my second year in college, when I bought my first dog, a Bernese Mountain Dog named Sam. Sam and I enrolled in obedience classes, which quickly led to the South Plains Obedience Training Club — and soon I was teaching classes there. I went on to work as the adoption coordinator at the Lubbock Animal Shelter, then as a kennel technician and veterinary assistant at Acres North Vet Hospital, where I was introduced to Michael and Linda Brantley, professional dog handlers. I moved in to care for their dogs, and raising their chows and helping with litters and breeding decisions taught me a tremendous amount about breeding, whelping, pedigree and health analysis.
When I moved to Dreamland Kennel, Michael was showing a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog named Beau, and my heart was captured. With his help I got my first Swissy, Connor, and in 1998 I bred my first litter under the kennel name A-Bar-W — three boys from that litter finished their championships, and Roxie is the foundation of our program today. A-Bar-W became Liberty Run Kennel when I settled in Oklahoma City, and we added Entlebucher Mountain Dogs shortly after with Kipp and Dakota, building a program that has earned Silver Level Breeder of Merit status. We have now passed 100 AKC conformation titles, and every breeding still starts with health clearances and a careful study of pedigree and health history.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Preservation Breeding, With Health And Temperament First
Breeding dogs is a pretty incredible responsibility. It isn't easy, and it isn't for the faint of heart. Information learned today tells us whether the decisions we made three years ago were good or not so good, and often requires us to make some hard decisions. Why do we do it? We have a true love for dogs, the spirit of competition, and love for complexity. We have the knowledge, the desire, the ability to breed dogs the right way, and the responsibility to share that knowledge with others.
Here at Liberty Run, we are Preservation Breeders. The goal of preservation breeding is to preserve both bloodlines and breeds, and promote the breeding of high quality, healthy dogs. We choose to work primarily with rare breeds that are great family pets, and we sell most of our puppies as pets to families that are strictly looking for great companions. We also work with other breeders with the intention of broadening everyone's gene pool, and we are happy to mentor new breeders interested in developing a quality breeding program.
Health clearances are simply one of the steps in making breeding decisions. Liberty Run breeding stock is evaluated for health through the most accepted organizations in the United States, including the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation. We test all breeding stock and use all test results to help evaluate each individual's place in the breeding program. Temperament is an area where we simply do not compromise. If a dog does not have a quality temperament that would lead it to be a wonderful pet in the average pet home, or if it cannot be trusted around children, people and other pets, that dog is not bred at Liberty Run.
- Health: a healthy dog is the best thing any breeding program can produce
- Temperament: a sound mind is of utmost importance for both the family companion and the best show dog
- Structure: a physically sound dog moves stronger, longer
- Type: a dog should look like the breed he is supposed to be
- Conformation: a breed has a standard for a reason

OUR BREEDS
Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is the largest of the four Swiss Sennenhund (mountain herdsmen) breeds. They were developed in the mountains of Switzerland as an all around farm dog and specialize as a draft and sentry dog. They were bred to work with their farmer: moving livestock, pulling carts around the farm and into town, delivering merchandise such as milk and cheese to market, watching the kids and alerting to a stranger's approach.
During the wars they were used by the Swiss Army to haul carts and pack supplies as well as watch camp. After the wars, and with the advancement of transportation options, the Swissy primarily became a farm and family companion, though they maintain their working abilities to this day.
Some of our Swissys: GCH CH Liberty Run's Talladega Nights "RickyBobby", GCH CH Liberty Run's Lend Me Your Ear "Michael" who ranked in the top 20 Swissys for 2020, and CH Liberty Run's I Showed Up In Boots "Boots". Our boys are fully health tested and available for stud to approved bitches.
OUR BREEDS
Entlebucher Mountain Dogs
The Entlebucher Mountain Dog (Ent-Lee-Boo-Cur) is the smallest of the four Swiss Sennenhunds. Quite different than their larger cousins, the Bernese and the Greater Swiss, the Entlebucher is an energetic, tireless athlete with the ability to do essentially any activity or sport they are taught. The Entlebucher can out think many other breeds as well as out think their owner, which requires owners to have a vested interest and dedication to training.
The Entlebucher is a very physical breed. Hugs and cuddles quickly become smooshings if allowed, and the Entle strongly believes the firmer the contact, the more the love. One sure sign of affection is the body slam, bouncing off their owner with the slightest provocation. They are typically quite good with other dogs but are known to play rough, hard and fast with vocalization and a playful growl. Keen sight and keen noise awareness makes this breed a phenomenal watchdog.
Our program began with Kipp and a girl named Dakota, and has since achieved Silver Level Breeder of Merit status with multiple Bronze Level Grand Champions among our achievements. Our boys are fully health tested and available for stud to approved bitches.
WHELPING SERVICES
Whelping at Liberty Run
Liberty Run Kennel is based in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where Anna Wallace cares for the dams and their litters from pregnancy through placement. Whelping and early puppy raising are handled in the kennel, alongside the boarding and grooming work of Liberty Run Pet Resort.
A Quiet Place to Whelp
Whelping takes place in a dedicated, private area of the kennel, away from the other dogs, so the dam can raise her litter calmly and without interruption.
Bred to a Health Standard
Liberty Run is an AKC Preservation Breeder whose breeding decisions are guided by the health clearance testing used across the program, including OFA and CERF clearances.
Guidance for New Owners
More than 100 AKC titles have been finished on Liberty Run dogs. Anna works with puppy owners and with newer breeders who want to learn how a litter is raised and placed.

Meet Your Caregiver
Experience you can trust. Care from the heart.
Hi! I’m the owner and caregiver at Liberty Run Pet Resort! Animals have been a big part of my life and my work for more than 30 years. After working in vet clinics, boarding kennels, and operating a traditional boarding kennel for many years, I decided it was time for a change.
I wanted to create something smaller, more personal, and more like home.
Today, I personally care for every guest at Liberty Run. There are no rotating staff members or unfamiliar faces. From feeding time to playtime, your pet receives care and attention directly from me.
I believe pets deserve more than just a place to stay while their families are away; they deserve patience, affection, familiar routines, and someone who truly understands their needs. That’s the kind of care I want every guest at Liberty Run to experience.
Fewer Pets. More Love. Personalized Care.
When you call or text, I am the one who answers. My phone is essentially always in my pocket. If you get voicemail, it’s because I have my hands full, and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. When you call, I do my very best not to put you on hold, because I believe your call is important. Text is most often always immediately answered.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
