Sunny Morning Kennel reviews and complaints

I hope this is false news. I have two min pins from Lynn. One is 15 the other is 9 1/2 now. Love them to pieces. They both had a rare cancer and surgery happened and I still have my two dogs.

I bought a yorkie teacup back in June 2008 for my finance for her birthday, and everything was time about the dog, expect two years later she came home and the dog was dead and we was both very hurt. The puppy was like our child and couldn't figure out what was the cause for her death. Today I was looking online to purchase another dog from sunny mourning kenell, but after seeing this I want answers to what happened to my dog now. I can be contacted at bigpenn20@yahoo.com or by cell at [protected]. Thank you

I purchase my yorkie from Lynn in 2009. I was giving an address and the day before pick up they changed the location to a gas station off i 57 due to another family was picking up their pet and it wqs closer to me . A man had all the paperwork and vaccine records and showed me 2 females their was 6 crates in the back of a van. I had 48 hours to take her to my vet for a check and She was 8 weeks old and had a parasite of giradia which isn't no big deal easy to treat. She had an umbilical hernia corrected when she was spayed at 6 months. When she was two she was dignosed with a luxating patella's in both knees had the left knee corrected the right knee is a lower grade doxtor said we can hold off till she shows signs of pain or limping. Just today she is 6 and had to have a Fho in her right hip corrected. Doctor says both hips are bad and will both need to be corrected . She is my million dollar dog and I have fallen completely in love with her and I don't regret purchasing her but i hate seeing her in pain and going threw all theses surgeries to correct cogrnital defects. I would never buy another dog from Lynn again. She was nice and very informational on the phone but these are alot of congenital issues with my pet and any reputal breeders make sure theses problems aren't bred.

I bought a pug from Lynn Mourning 6 years ago but I was met off the highway at a hotel that was supposedly pet-friendly (it was actually no longer in business) The man with the puppies asked "what breed are you getting?" I was like, "how many breeds do you have in that van?" It smelled horrible and I was supposed to pick from a litter of four but the other two had "scratched eyes" ... Major red flags, but I wanted a pug puppy so bad and I had traveled far...so I bought her anyways. Jellyfish was in perfect health until age 4 when I got her spayed; she was allergic to the anesthetic and almost died. Ever since, she is allergic to everything, poor itchy pup :( Her temperament and intelligence are great. I don't know if she is a puppy mill puppy, and I doubt I could pin her allergies on that even if she was. Pugs are notorious for allergies. I would want to drive to the actual place and see for myself if I was thinking about purchasing a puppy from them again.

So, I just randomly looked up Lynn Mourning of Sunny Morning Kennels just to see if she had a website. However, this was the first page to show up on my Google search which I immediately clicked on to read more. First of all, I bought a 2 month old male yorkie from her 9 years ago, and I am blessed to have a very healthy dog. Of course I didn't know too much of the dangerous conditions of what a puppy mill entailed back then, when I was just a teenager, but I don't regret having my little guy in my life.

Did anyone ever confirm if indeed this was a puppy mill? I did another search to verify this with no results, however since I can't find her contact info posted anywhere, I can only assume it was and she no longer does this for a living.

I will be sure to do more research in the future when I decide to get another dog, or better yet go to my local shelter...

We bought a Basset Hound from Sunny Morning Kennel. Our dog was so infested with worms it took months to get rid of them. They even traveled up to the sphincter of her bladder. That is how badly she had them. She had months of diarrhea and bleeding in her stools. She was so severely underweight you could count all of her vertebrae and Ribs. The vet said a dog of her age should have weighed in the double digits, she weighed 4 1/2 pounds. As she grew we began to notice a deformity in her left front leg. Our vet explained it is a hereditary defect, and she would love to see the parents. Our puppy was so sick, and underweight the vet stated if we had not gotten her when we did she most likely would have died. So even though we paid for her I feel as if we rescued her as well. This is a puppy mill. We bought her due to our ignorance about breeders. I would never have returned her or refused her, that would have meant a death sentence. We chose not to have the multiple surgeries on our dogs leg (that's what it would have taken to fix it). Our Daisy is 3 now and we have been told she will have early arthritis in her leg. We give her supplements to help with her joints now. It makes me sad money motivates this women more than healthy puppies. Lets Stop the cycle...DO NOT purchase anymore dogs from her.

I've used Sunny Morning twice and both times received a dog that was in great physical shape, lovely little critters that are adored by my family.

Of course they had crates stacked up in the back of the van. Geez! Did you expect puppies running around loose where they could get hurt?

I bought a yorkie from this "kennel" in 2003. He is approx 15 lbs (very large for a yorkie) but healthy and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I asked to visit the kennel before we purchased the pup and was told no which is a huge red flag. Any reputable breeder will / should allow you to visit the kennels (meet the mother etc). Also, how many breeders do you know that "specialize" in breeding many different breeds? I've been reading the posts here and you've got Boston's, Corgi's, Yorkie, Maltese, what else?!? Anyone who is denying that this is a puppy mill just doesn't want to accept that they bought an inbreed dog where the mother and father are currently living in a cage & will live for the rest of their productive lives. The parents likely have never played with a toy/been on a walk or much less walked in the grass. I regret every day that I supported this puppy mill and I am doing my best to repent by volunteering with dog rescue groups. Please DONT BUY FROM THIS "KENNEL"

We bought a dog from them in Aug of 2005. A beautiful Maltese who has had 3 surgeries. Patella surgery on each back knee. This is a common issue with the breed and small dogs and I do not necessarily blame them for it.

However, when she was a puppy we also had to take our dog in for surgery to deal with vascular necrosis on the right femur - a hereditary issue. I called the owner to tell her that she should stop breeding the parents together as our vet said this would continue to happen. I also asked her to warn the other people who bought dogs in the same litter. It would have been the right thing to do to warn the others so they could spot the issue if it arose with their dogs. Maybe save them some anxiety - though the surgery and recovery was brutal.

Her response to me was that her vet said it was not hereditary and she refused to tell the other owners or stop mating the parents. She acted unethically. Also, she has a very nasty personality, but that is not as relevant.

Lynn mourning is a fake. She is a puppy mill no doubt about it! Who sells puppys out of a van in a parking lot. You can't see the kennels where the puppys were born. Its not allowed. You see them on the day you buy them. Or in pics she sends u. That aren't even pics of the actual puppy ur getting. I bought a Boston terror from her last year. She lied about his age. He wasn't a pure breed. He's been sick with infections an eye infections 3 times in less than a year. Maybe she takes better care of other puppys. But I've heard nothing but bad horrible things about her. An true breeders don't bread 10 different types of dogs. They stick to one or two. An when I called to talk to her about my puppy she said she was selling her kennel. That was a HUGE red flag. I should of known better when she showed up in a van with cages on top of each other. But we fell in love with the helpless little Boston. Who we now call Titan
