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!

Pool Wire Fox Terriers & Australian Cattle Dogs - theresa pool failed to tell us about vet's findings

We were sold a puppy that she said was healthy. On 11/21/17 her vet told her that there was an issue with his rear right leg. She did not disclose any info concerning his leg to us before we bought him. Our vet told us on 12/4/17 about the leg problem. Had we been told there was an issue with his leg, we would not have bought the puppy. We were looking...

For the Love of Shepherds - dog breeder

In April 2017 we purchased a German shepherd pup for $1, 500 from this breeder in Goshen VA. The dog became extremely anxious and randomly aggressive towards members of the family at 10 months old. It tried to bite my son and lunged at my pregnant daughter. We brought it to a Veterinarian in PA who examined the dog for an hour and concluded that it was "a...

Northwinds Golden Retrievers - dog

Breeder sold us a puppy declared to be "perfectly healthy." First of all, she had a parasite which was diagnosed after we got her home. Secondly, when vision problems were identified, the breeder refused to refund our money based on the warranty for this health issue. Other health issues surfaced as the puppy grew, including awkward gait and very frequent...

Brooklyn Beefcake Bullies - english bulldog puppy

I bought a puppy from Julie Duncanson on Oct. 22, 2017. Upon bringing her home, I immediately noticed she was urinating excessively which is indicative of a urinary tract infection.

Texas Sugar Puppies - 2 puppies

Young Van Roekel operates under multiple websites (one is listed below). We were lied to and taken advantage of and she continues to try and do it to others. We are out $1450 for mix breed puppies when we thought they were AKC registered. I will be turning her into the Human Society because she is running some kind of scam. Puppies both had ear infections.

Joni Albanese - gsd breeder

This person claims to be an AKC breeder, but will not give you the paperwork you need to register the dog. She sells puppies to anyone with money, even if they have NO experience as a dog owner. She sold a puppy to a boy barely old enough to legally drink. Once the "cute puppy" stage was over, he decided to sell the 8 month old. Because of his inexperience...

For the Love of Boxers - bad breeder

I purchased a puppy from For the Love of Boxers in Merrimac MA. My poor pup has an autoimmune disease along with horrible allergies. She is terribly undersized as well. After exploring the breeders Facebook page, I am not the only one who has had issues with puppies. Many others have below average sized pups. I full grown boxer should be in the 55-70 lb...

PAEAN Miniature Poodles - miniature poodle, red, f

A truly professional breeder sells a physically healthy dog of GOOD temperament. Dee Schaal sold me a pale red, very shy F puppy for over $!, 300.00 from a litter of five in 2016. The mother, Penny, aka "Pennies from Heaven", was given to Dee for free after warning her that Penny was shy, (supposedly some teenager did something to her as a pretext). Dee...

8/17/2017 The day we bought our Akita puppy from Don Van Dermyden (the owner of Royalty Akitas) was one of the happiest days of our lives.

My husband and I were looking for a puppy to fit both of our needs, mine being that it had to be hypoallergenic and that we wanted the puppy to become a service dog. My husband is a disabled veteran (who is unable to work) and would greatly benefit from a service dog. We researched a lot of breeds, particularly the Native American Indian Dog. We chose Happy...
