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!

High Desert Aussies - Unethical, rude, unkind, bad breeding practices

I originally put down a deposit for a puppy when I had a job, however after losing my job due to lay offs I requested to have that deposit refunded so I could buy groceries for myself and asked if I could come back and purchase a puppy at a time where I was financially stable. She did not refund the 200 dollars and told me she is "just trying to run a...

Ravine Acres Miniature and Toy Australian Shepherd dog breeders - no refund on puppy after only 1 week of ownership

My brother and his wife purchased a puppy from this kennel for $1100.00. The contract stated that if this puppy had any health issues or there were other difficulties that made keeping this puppy not a feasible option, that they were to contact the breeder first to return her to them and not to sell her themselves. My brother followed this advise when the...

On Golden Paws Dog Breeder - Business Practices

I purchased a puppy from this breeder that died within 48 hours of parvo. The breeder agreed to pay a small portion towards the vet bills within the first few hours, but when the puppy died she refused to refund the rest of our money. And refused to respond to our last two communications to her. Be very careful if purchasing from this breeder that you get some kind of guarantee in writing.

Cammie's K9 Friends - Bad breeder/deceitful practice

We purchased a puppy through this breeder and have begun a small claims case due to unethical behavior. If you would like information, all documentation can be provided or you can keep up with the court case. Pup was guaranteed to have no congenital defects.

Sugar and Cream Golden Retrievers - Sick Puppy

We purchased a beautiful puppy from Daniel and Ruthie Zook in Morgantown, Pennsylvania in December of 2013. We had her shipped to us. When we bought her, the seller knew that we were planning on breeding her when she was over two years old. She has been a good dog, but we noticed around 10 months old that she was loosing hair in patches in different place...

Sturbridge Breeders Association - Bad Breeders

My main complaint with this organization is that I feel they are running a group of puppy mills, and they are selling unhealthy dogs. My fiancee and I just adopted a little Boston Terrier girl in mid-December. When I contacted Marlene LIppert, the owner of the organization after finding her on the AKC website, she referred me to a "friend" of hers named...

Sturbridge Breeders Association - Despicable Breeders

My main complaint, as you will see, is that I believe this organization to be a puppy mill ring, and I believe that the breeder knowingly sold us a sick puppy, and now is refusing to pay ALL of her bills to get her better. My fiancee and I just adopted a little boston girl in mid-December. When I contacted Marlene LIppert, the owner of the organization...

Blessed Kennels - Backyard Breeder/ Puppy Mill

BACKYARD BREEDER. PUPPY MILL. DO NOT ADOPT FROM THESE ###. They can hide behind all the Bible verses they want but that doesn't change that they are horrible people and ABUSIVE to animals!

He signed a contract that clearly stated that I do not pay vet bills and was aware that certain conditions exist when you purchase a puppy and take it from everything it know...

Jamie Ashwill Wilson - BUYER BEWARE..

I filed a complaint with the better business bureau. Jamie Ashwill Wilson ROBBED me of my deposit. Jamie was very responsive when I initially contacted her to discuss getting a dog. Literally the second I gave her my deposit through paypal, she disappeared. LITERALLY. She never responded after I asked her about when to expect the puppy, never sent me a...

Angels of Scotland Kennels - ethics

Our family has had dogs for close to 30 years while we brought up our 3 children and two grandchildren. In the fall of 2012 our last Westie died. Our Scottie the year before, both of old age. It took us a couple of years to get up the courage to consider adopting another dog. We came across Angels of Scotland on the web. I contacted the lady who said that...

Raglan Westies - Extremely rude and judgemental breeder

When I contacted the breeder to get an estimate for her Westies that I've wabted to buy for years, she blatantly disrespected me. She said she would not sell me a westie because she had the reputation of picking good homes for her Westies. Apparently the fact that I want to know approximately how much her Westies cost, I am a bad dog owner. Little does she...

Vizcaya Vizslas - Sick puppies

The breeder delivered the puppy with a parasite that was discovered in a fecal test and extremely dirty gooped up ears. I asked that she be responsible at least for the sick puppy since she delivered him in that state. After 6 weeks of non responsive emails and phone calls I finally get a paypal credit for only $23 for the medicine, even after I sent the...

Florida Puppies Online - Puppy

My reviews floridapuppiesonline are not very good due to my experience I had with them. I was looking for a Morkie puppy and in my searches I found floridapuppiesonline, located in Naples. They had lots of puppies for sale, but the one who stole my heart was a sweet Morkie puppy, who seemed to me the perfect pup for me and my family. Since I was from South...

Faith Ranch Schnauzers - Aggressive dog

We bought a Year and Half year old Female Schnauzer that is CKC registered. We were clear that we wanted a well socialized dog as we have other pets and a neighborhood full of dogs and kids and live a very active lifestyle. When we got Cookie, the very next day I had to take her to my Vet for ear mites! She supposedly was at the breeders vet 4 days prior to...

Shelly Graziano - Dog Hoarder

Shelly Graziano is a dog hoader! She claims to be such a good Aussie breeder but yet she most of her dogs are caged in small cages in her back bedroom and they are only let out to go to the bathroom a few times a day and then put right back in! Her house smells of urine and dogs. She has about 12 dogs living inside of her tiny house along with cats also...
