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!

GTA Jacks - Dog breeders

I had reached out to this breeder for a mini Schneider puppy. After asking a few times to see the pups it turns out I wasn't able to meet the breeder or her dogs or pup until I had put a $200 deposit down. After speaking with Dawn and asking her a myriad of questions including whether anyone smoked in her household (which she said no), I was finally able to...

Dawna Harty - A puppy that i purchased

I purchased a red and white border collie from a woman named Deline Aberle from Rocky Mountain House Alberta. She lied about the puppies health. The puppy had a hernia and she didn't tell me.

Almar Wheaten Terriers - Soft coated wheaten terrier puppies

This breeder sold a litter of puppies last August that were delivered with Kennel Cough. She did not tell us owners, some of which flew to Buffalo, NY to pick the dogs up, that the puppies were ill. She was also not willing to reimburse for vet bills, in fact she told us not to take the puppies to the vet. I also just heard of a 4 year old Wheaten from her...

Cedar Wallace Labs - Mike Wallace Of Fowlerville - False advertising of labrador puppies

We purchased a puppy in 2013 and we were assured before making the 3 hour trip that his labs were all AKC registered and had papers. Mike told us that he made sure that his labs had no history of hip dysplasia as he bred his labs as police dogs. We met the sire and dam, both had good personalities and soft coats, we chose the chocolate puppy he had...

This Breeder sold across State lines a Giardia-infected and highly contagious stool-eating puppy that had failed to gain weight, after being born in a litter where there was litter loss, all a clear sign of medical problems that were either ignored or overlooked by this RN/breeder who frequently shows Chihuahuas in AKC shows, yet behaves as documented...

Please AVOID buying a French Bulldog, or any other dog from these people. Total Ripoff!! We purchased a French Bulldog. We had to travel to pick him up. 4 days previously their "vet" Bryan Weaver gave the dog a "clean bill of health". He even called my girlfriend and said "he is a perfectly healthy puppy".

Rightway Ranch - Dog breeder

I got my 'mini' Blue heeler puppy in August from Rightway Ranch located in Eastern Oregon in August. I am now convinced they are a puppy mill. There is a Facebook page called "Rightway Ranch, Right Way Ranch Heeler Owners" where other owners share the same opinion. Their website has many puppies on it, but didn't think too much of it at the time. They also...

Aplaws Boxers - Defective puppies

I purchased an AKC boxer puppy from this husband and wife team in November of 2010. Prior to my purchase, I cannot tell you how many hours I spent on the phone with the wife, as she interviewed me about her acceptance of me to purchase a puppy. Frankly, I felt great she took the time to place her puppies with great families. However, once we purchased the...

I purchased a pug from piney mountain kennel in 2015. He died at 11 months of age of a congenital defect (After $10, 000+ in hospital bills).
