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!

Heavenly French Bulldogs - Unhealthy puppies

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...

Soundview Labradors - Dog breeder

I put a $250 deposit down in August on a male chocolate lab puppy. As soon as I put the deposit down the breeder disappeared. Did not send me a receipt as promised or confirm she received the deposit, just cashed my check and stopped responding. I reached out repeatedly after learning my wife was pregnant to discuss moving deposit or having it returned to...

Piney Mountain Kennel. Tania Wirth. 504 Piney Mountain Road. Appomattox, Va, 24522. 434-665-8530. - Pug

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). Because he was under 1 year, the kennel gave me another pug. She recently died at the age of 1 year, 3 months of severe seizures. I could not afford diagnostic evaluation at the time of death, but seizures are often...

Briarwood Shepherds in Port Huron Michigan - Dishonest and unethical behavior

I wanted a puppy from a specific female, I waited for almost two years (1 year and 20 months, to be exact). Most times when I wrote to the breeder, I didn't get a response. I never knew if the dog was/was not pregnant. I never rec'd a response unless I got frustrated and complained. If I asked nicely, they blew me off, but I really wanted a puppy from thi...

I purchased a dog from Paradise Dachshunds January 2015.

Von Wilhendorf Kennels - Unethical behavior

Halo Chihuahuas located in Missouri, while in good standing with the AKC should not be. I first contacted Kristen Blackwell on Nov. 5, 2016 after finding a little female on puppyfind.com. After about a week of emailing, I tried to arrange to view the puppy in person, to ascertain whether or not it was the same puppy pictured online. She said that because...

Donna's Dobermans - Unethical behavior

Terribly disappointed and upset with the business practices from Donnas Dobermans. We spoke with her at length yesterday to adopt a beautiful male doberman. We asked if Donna would accept a $500 deposit to hold the male until we were able to pick up up on Monday. Donna explained that she would not take a partial payment for specific gender. We had to agree...

Mini Huskies - Dog - puppy mill

I purchased a Mini Siberian Husky from Bree Normandin who owns MiniHuskies.net in North Carolina. I have been in contact with her for months after the disaster she provided us.

Takara Shih Tzu by Lyn Dixon - Puppy for sale

I paid a 365.00 deposit through PayPal for a puppy and Lyn never delivered the puppy. Every time that I spoke with her, she had another excuse why she could not deliver the puppy such as the dogs were at her sister's house in the Midwest, my husband is disabled-just one excuse after another. I would run not walk from this woman. She has references to God on her website and you know to run when they lure you in with that garbage.
