Best Dog Breeders and Kennels

Just a quick heads-up about our Dog Breeders section. šŸ¶ This page is all about those who're in the doghouse or top dogs in the breeding game. Our pack of reviewers has wagged their tails or barked out their thoughts loud and clear.
 
Sniffing out the trending section? Some breeders are fetching quite the buzz. But, like a game of fetch, some throws are off the mark. So, expect a few growls and howls in there.
 
Paws and reflect when you get a moment!

Living Skies Dachshunds on Heaven's Acres - Deposit never returned

Back in October of 2018, I was in the process of purchasing a puppy from Fran. I had e-transferred her my $200 deposit to hold a puppy from the upcoming litter. In the midst of all this, my house burnt down. I emailed Fran to let her know that my living situation had changed and I was no longer in a position to purchase a puppy. I then asked for my...

Northeast Pups - Price gouging consumers - puppies

They are price gauging their puppies because of covid 19. I've bought two micro yorkies from them and the cost was $1, 300. They're now charging $3,000 for the same dog. I talked to the owner and he said their is high demand for puppies with covid-i9 and they're able to charge high prices because of low supply. He told me that they would put their price...

Cavalier Companions - Puppy breeder

I'm writing this review in hopes of saving others the heartache and expense we've experienced after purchasing a puppy from Cavalier Companions. We chose them because they seemed reputable and had all the certifications required for this breed. Unfortunately, our puppy had inherited immune issues at 10 weeks of age and had to be hospitalized for 7 days -...

Bishop Kennels - Irreputable breeder

This breeder leads you to believe that they are breeders of Coton de Tulear puppies however, the dogs are mix of breeds - mostly maltese and bichon frise with some coton. We paid for a coton and recieved a mixed breed puppy. When I contacted the breeder they disputed the results. We tested our dog at two different dna sites and the results were very similar. The breeder no longer returns our calls.

AllStar Acres OES - Fraud

We selected a Sheepadoodle from their website and placed a deposit through PayPal. The size of the Sheepadoodle (Mini) was misrepresented and ultimately Tina the owner said we could switch to another dog within the size range we wanted. We made the switch and was told we could pick it up "at your convenience." As couple of days later I suggested a date...

Dogsnow - Scam

Do not buy puppies from Landry Mor in Sacramento. It's a complete fraud. I offered to come in person to see the puppy that day and pay in cash, but this person would not allow it unless I paid a $300 reservation fee first. When I indicated I wasn't comfortable doing that and would rather pay in person later that same day, they said that other people were...

Heartland Classics, LLC - condition of puppy

I obtained a soft coated wheaten puppy from this kennel. I thought they were a legitimate kennel, but it turns out they are a puppy mill. The puppy was terrified of everything. When I stood up she crouched I fear. If I moved toward her she ran and hid. She was afraid to go outside and if I took her out she was afraid to come inside. It's obvious she has had...

I have been following her program for over a year...

Hello My name is Toby Graber and My name is mentioned on a complaint made by Chrwdw about Justin Graber on an issue with a puppy. I have no affiliation with Justin Graber and it appears the individual who filed the complaint about Justin Graber simply found my name on the Puppyfind website because we shared the same last name .

Dee Little Pomeranians - bad dog kennel

Please beware of Christine of Dee Little Poms and their propaganda. Thoroughly check out their kennel, and the living conditions and health issues of their dogs. Cages and kennels, non-family exposed, and very hard to work with. They have all the answers, with nothing to back up their words. Check them out before you buy or you could open yourself up to heartache. I chose to move on to another breeder. You should also.
