History

Established in 1978.

Our beginnings can be traced back over 100 years starting in the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia. This is where my Grandfather Brady Vickers first applied his skills toward engineering products for dogs that were not yet readily available, while breeding and training specialized hunting dogs. These skills were constantly improved upon and handed down to my father. In 1978 Dark Forest was officially created and it’s doors were open to help owners and canines from all over. Continuing the tradition to this day, we have added specialized engineering to our product lines as well as a strong veterinary background. These skills and traditions are being passed on right now to our next generation so they too can strive to bring you only the best in Pet care, training, education, and products available today, tomorrow and beyond.
