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!

Freeman Frenchies - issues with breeder

I do not advise purchasing a puppy from Freeman Frenchies in Neosho, Missouri, no matter how cute the puppy pictures are! I was trying to give the breeder the benefit of the doubt before I started submitting reviews to try and warn others, however after it being over four months since I purchased my puppy and still have the issue unresolved I wanted to...

Riverview Goldendoodles/Alisha Epps - unethical behavior

We wanted a hypoallergenic/low shedding mini Goldendoodle and settled on Riverview/Alisha Garlick/Alisha Epps after she stated in an email to me "the puppies are non-shedding from a long line of non-shedding coats". This was our number 1 and primary request. Her website describes how attentive she and her family are to their dogs and puppies, that they are...

vomcouceiro.com - breeder

My 4 year old gsd had to be put down to what I believe was bad breeding. When we 1st got her, her umbilical cord was fully taken off so my vet had to do it. She was full of fleas when I got her home and the breeder stated she didn't have them when she left. I told her my gsd ears weren't standing up and she says. Put an e collar on her. Lastly she...

Jaime Carnes - bad breeder

Selina geringer (aka walter bisby and mabel funk) is a true scam artist to the bone. She does not represent the vast majority of great corgi breeders. She sells double merle dogs, doesn't know the father of her litters, sells puppies that are sick, sells puppies that are genetically disfigured (hydro pups). She cons people that are out of state and make...

Kim Dahlin Havanese dog breeder auburn CA - puppy

I purchased a Havanese puppy from Kim in 2013. He was born 6/6/2013. Recently he was diagnosed with alopecia, a ganetic auto amine disease. I contacted Kim and received no response. I have no idea if JJ's parents are still breeding or if their offspring are breeding. This disease requires meds and he has to be bathed twice a week. Hopefully his hair will...

Nadelhaus German Shepherds - deceptive description for the gsd we bought

We bought a 3 yr old GSD from this breeder, Traci Needles, who never disclosed that the dog was neutered. We only found out when we took him to see the vet for an initial checkup. Upon complaining to her she ridiculously said it was because we never asked.in fact when we were at her kennel she tried to find out if we may take a female for which she...

Marcy's Golden's/ Marcy Vance - far the biggest puppy mill that you have ever seen. pays her friend in selling her puppies

Marcy Vance is now charging more for her puppies in her puppy mill kennel in NC. Reason why is because she is paying her friend to let her take the puppies and the parents to her house with helping her bathe them and do all the pictures and photographs there so it looks like you are buying a quality dog from her with the environment that the pics show in...

Melissa Basinger - havanese puppies

I've been looking around for a havanese puppy and saw Down South Pups website in Arkansas. It's very vague as far as where in Arkansas and had to dig to find out it was in Conway. I reached out and she emailed me back within the day. She was very unprofessional and was unclear as to whether the puppy I was interested in was available for me to visit. Her...

Asintay German Shepherd Breeder Lesley Robinson - gsd dog breeder with unethical behaviour

Lesley robinson the breeder of asintay gsds is a lying breeder who runs a very shady business. I bought a gsd puppy online from him and paid $2000 including the delivery of the puppy. Through a lot of conversations I made it very clear to him that the purpose of getting a gsd was to train the dog in personal protection. I asked for a confident dog that ha...

One and Only Cane Corso - breeder, breeding aggressive dogs

I can't stop anyone buying from breeders, because that will always happen, but If I can stop you from buying dogs from the breeder: One and Only Cane Corsos, then I believe I can save a person or family from a traumatic experience. Their website and Instagram are One and Only Cane Corso. Sadly we bought a beautiful cane corso from this breeder. He was a...

I sent trisha a $200 refundable deposit for a fawn, male pug puppy the end of april. On may 7th, the puppies were born and she didn't have a fawn male, so she emailed me and asked if we wanted our money back or to roll it over for another litter maybe 6 months away.

Please look at the attached pictures. All of our correspondence is included to show that I was very respectful and not deserving of her anger. Some Issues I had with her are listed...

Shrinkabulls - bad genetics in breeding

I bought a beautiful rare tri color english bulldog and it cost me almost $15, 000 and it died of genetic issues at 2 years old. I was heartbroken when it arrived with pneumonia and I took care of him for 3 months and took him to get blood tests and x-rays every week until he was well and free of pneumonia. That cost me over $2000 dollars and that was not...
