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!

Windy Knolls Kennel / Purebred Puppy - False guarantee

Admore Kennel - Promised puppy given away

This kennel had promised to reserve a puppy for more than three months. The day before the first meet I had to email to confirm the visit and I was informed that the dog had been sold to someone else despite our talk only a few days before that.
