Savannah Greene

Social Media Director

Savannah from Boone, NC  grew up passionate about all things hunting, and quickly realized she needed a GSP. In 2021 she started her NAVHDA journey with her dog Ryker, Savannah has since grown extremely passionate about her home chapter with Foothills. In her short career she has managed to stay focused with AKC, NAVHDA, and "dabbles" in HRC. Her goal is to grow her Shorthairs with as much versatility as

 possible and brand her line, "Royal S Shorthairs" with truly accomplished dogs.
