Their warmth and love for the puppies starts their lives so positively that I have never heard of one of their puppies growing up to be anything but and extraordinary dog.

We have used Whole Pet for three dogs. We had two, Buster…read moreand Ding Ding, when we moved to San Francisco. They were elderly. Whole Pet did a good job with special needs. Although they had multiple walkers, the quality was uniformly good. These are folks you have to trust. They not only come into your home, they have your pets, who are members of the family. They have to display competence and integrity. We had no concerns. Then after the dogs passed away and we had a hiatus because my wife wanted to wait before adopting another pup, we welcomed Bebe to the family. We eventually ended up with a regular walker, who was an aunt to Bebe, and whose dog became friends with our dog (until tragically she shuffled off her mortal coil, a profound sadness in the relationship with all companion animals). We feel that Yukiko is just akin to a relative. She is that close to our beloved dog. Courtney, the proprietor, is responsive and responsible.

I was skeptical at first because i did see the previous reviews and how there's not much on social media but i took the leap anyways. She was able to answer all my questions and let me visit her home with all the cute dogs. She had a nice contract that I reviewed. I had a long list of questions for her that's she was able to answer. Katsu was born in 4/1/2021 and she hasn't had any problems since. She's such a sweetheart with LOTS of energy. 100% golden retriever vibes that loves humans more than dogs. I love katsu so much and couldn't be any happier with her! No one knows where that spot came from, but I wanted that genetic deformity. It got smaller but it's still there! No health problems and all her vet visits are good. I was also able to speak with people who got puppies from annette as well and it really put my mind at ease!

Puppy visitation was also accommodating and reassuring; we got to meet the pup's mom and her (last remaining) littermates; seeing the mom in person helped give us that final boost of confidence in adopting from this lineage.

Jordan is an exceptional trainer, and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of help…read morewith their dog. We adopted a 1-year-4-month-old Rottweiler named Draco. He was initially a sweetheart, potty-trained, and crate-trained, but he was reactive and skittish. He had no recall and was not good on the leash. When he was in the house, he was fine, but he would bark and lunge when people came over. We had never had a big dog before, so he was a challenging addition to our family. I did my research and found Jordan. From our first conversation, she provided us with a realistic picture of what to expect. She suggested boarding training and arranged for a trainer to meet with us and assess Draco. They then provided us with their recommendations. We knew the importance of proper training, especially with a 130lb Rottweiler and wanted to be responsible large dog owners. We were hesitant about boarding because we were afraid Draco wouldn't remember us, but we decided to go ahead because it was the best thing for him. We initially signed up for the 6-week program but upgraded to the 8-week program because he needed more training on his obedience. We received weekly updates and videos, and tips along the way. When we got Draco back, he was a completely different dog. He was very responsive to commands, and Jordan went over the training with us to ensure we understood. She provided us with detailed instructions and ongoing support. She emphasized the importance of continuing the training on a daily basis but assured us that we could make it work with our busy schedules. She set realistic goals and was always available to answer any questions we had along the way. It has been a year since we got Draco back from boarding training, and he is still thriving. His recall is excellent, and for the most part he is very responsive to commands. He has a playful personality so sometime he will push the limit but always reverts to listening. We are still working on socializing him, but he is not reactive. He simply walks away when he doesn't want to meet new people. Overall, we are very pleased with the transformation Jordan did with Draco. I highly recommend Mantra K9 Training to anyone in need of help with their dog.

She used to bark whenever she saw a stranger, whether they were 5 feet away, on the other side of the park, or walking on the other side of the street from our house. We saw a MAJOR improvement within a few days of our first session with Nate. A few weeks later, he returned for a 2nd session. We discussed what still needed improvement, he gave more specific suggestions, and I mean it when I tell you THEY WORKED! Our girl is now fine with people coming to our house, strangers approaching her to say hi, and she just seems so much happier overall! It has been over a year since our final session, and I will note it is important to stick to what Nate teaches you. We notice she regresses a bit if we are inconsistent (she's a routine-driven dog, so it makes perfect sense), but she catches back on when we realize what we stopped doing. Thank you SO much, Nate, for helping us communicate better with our pup! We have such a loving, trusting relationship, and we now get to share her with anyone who wants to say hi to her!!

Congenital Elbow Dysplasia…read more It is with deep disappointment that I find myself writing this review. This review is not based on my puppy's genetic elbow dysplasia, as such conditions can occur through no fault of the breeder. Rather, it reflects my experience with how Kentfield Kennels handled the situation after being informed. In January 2024, we purchased a four-month-old started puppy from Kentfield Kennels. Her parents were Kentfield's Benelli Super Black Eagle ("Ben") and Kentfield's I'm a Barbie Girl ("Barbie"). The day after bringing her home, we noticed an abnormality in her gait. Concerned, we took her to our veterinarian the following day. Ultimately, we were referred to an orthopedic specialist, who performed X-rays and a CT scan. The diagnosis was devastating: bilateral medial coronoid remodeling and left elbow osteoarthritis--findings consistent with congenital elbow dysplasia. Given the severity of the condition, our orthopedic veterinarian recommended bilateral elbow arthroscopy. Our puppy underwent arthroscopic surgery on both elbows, followed by eight weeks of complete rest and 12 weeks of rehabilitation therapy. Despite these efforts, her prognosis remains guarded. As our orthopedic veterinarian explained: "While surgery will improve the puppy's current comfort and ambulation, her elbows will never be normal. The cartilage lesions secondary to elbow dysplasia will progress over time, and her osteoarthritis will likely require long-term management with pain medication and lifestyle modifications." I share this review for two important reasons: Transparency for Future Owners - If you are considering purchasing a puppy from Kentfield Kennels, particularly one bred from Ben and/or Barbie, you deserve to have this genetic history so you can make an informed decision about the risks and potential costs. Understanding Your Rights - California Health and Safety Code Sections 122045-122110, also known as the Polanco-Lockyer Pet Breeder Warranty Act (or "The Puppy Lemon Law"), provides protections for buyers in situations like ours. When I informed Kentfield Kennels of our puppy's diagnosis and requested they comply with the Puppy Lemon Law, I was met with resistance at every turn. I sent them three letters, provided all of our puppy's medical records, and included a declaration from our orthopedic specialist. Even after an independent veterinarian of their own choosing confirmed that our puppy had congenital elbow dysplasia, they refused to comply with the law. Left with no other option, I retained an attorney. Despite legal correspondence, they continued to refuse. Only after I formally filed suit did they finally agree--within just four hours of being served--to comply with the law and reimburse us for a portion of our puppy's medical expenses. We love our puppy dearly. She is intelligent, loving, and has an incredible personality. Writing this review is not something I wanted to do. However, both our primary and orthopedic veterinarians were unequivocal: this is a genetic condition. Despite having full knowledge of our puppy's diagnosis and the associated risks of breeding Ben and Barbie, as of the date of this posting, Kentfield Kennels has neither removed them from their breeding program nor acknowledged the issue. I feel I have no choice but to share this information so that others can be fully informed before making a decision.
