Tammy is professional about her business, as well as knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She is meticulous in every detail of the process, as well as how she cares for the pups prior to adoption. She is thorough about pup socialization and training, and makes sure that the new family is well informed and supported. We are delighted with our new family member and we are grateful to Tammy for bringing him into the world in the best way possible. Thank you Tammy, for all that you did for us. We have a beautiful, smart and affectionate dog! Sally B.

I cannot recommend enough Tammy at Dream Golden Retrievers. Our family of four, including two…read moreyoung children, really wanted to welcome a wonderful little Golden Retriever as the fifth member of our family. I undertook a significant amount of research on Golden breeders in the extended area, focusing specifically on hobby breeders that had wonderful sir and dam lines that were well documented and highly reviewed. Tammy and Dream Golden Retrievers fit the bill. From the first series of communications, Tammy was awesome. It is so clear that she loves Goldens, and she provided us with a WEALTH of information. Everything from how to prepare our home and children, to the best vet to select, to the best trainers in our area. I can't imagine doing this on our own after having Tammy's support. Visiting the litter it was clear she had such an amazing Mom (Willow) and Dad (Doc) - https://k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=1081443. Tammy was very thoughtful in selecting our puppy with our input, and our sweet girl Scout has been wonderful. She is a blast at home, very smart and picks up to training quickly, and even our trainer has told us that she "fell in love" with Scout! We provide a VERY strong recommendation for Tammy and Dream Golden Retrievers!!!!! Some pictures of our beautiful Scout :).

After extensive research, I can confidently say choosing to work with Irina was one of the best…read moredecisions we've ever made. From the very beginning, she was an absolute joy to work with! Kind, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. As first time kitten owners, we had countless questions, and she was always so patient, responsive, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. What truly sets Irina apart is how much she cares beyond just the pickup day. She was there for us before, during, and even after bringing our kitten home, which meant more to us than anything having never dealt with a kitten before. You can tell she puts so much love, time, and intention into raising her kittens. Our kitten is everything we could have hoped for. She is affectionate, playful, cuddly, well socialized, and adored by everyone who meets her. She adjusted to us and even our puppy seamlessly and has been an absolute dream with zero issues. We feel unbelievably lucky to have her in our lives. I cannot recommend Irina highly enough. If you are considering working with her, don't hesitate. You'll be glad you did!

We had the most incredible experience with Irina and cannot recommend her cattery enough. From…read morestart to finish, the entire process was seamless, professional, and so easy--communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring every step of the way. We selected our baby girl about a month ago, and she has been an absolute dream. She came fully potty trained and is the sweetest, most cuddly, playful, and friendly kitten. Truly, she is the best cat I've ever had. She's admired by everyone who meets her--family and friends are obsessed! My brother even calls her the "beauty queen" and says she's the prettiest cat he's ever seen. What impressed us most is her temperament. She's wonderful with other pets--my mom brings her dog over and our kitten is gentle and unbothered, and she's even fascinated (in the cutest way) by our bearded dragon. That speaks volumes about the care and socialization Irina provides. Irina is a trusted breeder who clearly puts so much love, intention, and expertise into raising top-notch kitties. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be back in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

Had a heartfelt meeting with a Yorkie near my house and felt compelled to find a friend for my pup…read moreafter that encounter. Did my research and did it well! Was debating between a "farm" in the Sacramento region and Jam's, but saw red flags of likely a puppy mill at the other. Also, Jam took the time to talk to me because she wants to ensure that the pups are indeed going to great homes. Asked her if she had any pups available and she pointed me to the pup who is now my baby. His name is Bear (originally Wednesday), and I saw he was perfect. He is adorable and sweet and spunky. Drove down from Sacramento & got him in July 2023 and he will be 2 in February 2025. A lady stopped us on our walk the other day to say how much she was admiring him. Bear is the smallest of the bunch, but he is the head of the household. Thank you Jam!

I was so excited to find out she had a little traditional female and it was love at first site. Correct bite, erect ears, a beautiful coat and great confirmation. I would highly recommend Jam and her breeding program if you're looking for a yorkie puppy.

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I really, really love guinea pigs. Ever since a…read morepast girlfriend and I had our first cavy (guinea pig), I have been hooked. Being an animal lover, I've had all kinds of pets over the years, but guinea pigs are my favorite. Guinea pigs are fantastic and it's not their fault that they need a better Public Relations agent. Nobody likes being called a guinea pig. Guinea pigs are so different from hamsters and other smaller pet rodents in that they are smart enough to recognize the sound of you coming home or the refrigerator door opening. Once they learn to recognize and hear the refrigerator door or the rustle of a plastic bag, they go crazy happy, jumping (called popcorning) and squeaking like mad. When happy, they also purr loudly like a kitten. Anyway, Cavy Spirit is a guinea pig rescue, specializing in guinea pigs and guinea pigs only. Not only do they have adoptables, but they genuinely care and truly take the time to educate you and make sure that they are going to a good home. The owner, Teresa, and all her assistants are downright wonderful and have done more for guinea pigs and the knowledge of guinea pigs than anyone I've ever known. I love all the little guinea pig knick-knacks they have on display too. Traditional store bought cages are small and inhumane, so they will show you how to make a proper cage yourself using cubes and coroplast. These cages make a world of difference and allow the cavies to run around and in general lead a far more healthier, happier life. Not only that, but even they cost less than store bought! In my opinion, it's the only way to go. I have two guinea pigs at home and they live in an open top cage that size-wise is only slightly smaller than a full size house door laid flat. I only use the very best (expensive!) Carefresh bedding and they get only the very best guinea pig food and organic fruits and veggies. Per above, Cavy Spirit has a great website too which even shows those available for adoption. The site is very responsible and explains how adoption is at least a seven year commitment and what you're getting into. Also, adoption is always done in pairs. At first, I wondered why, but now I realize that unlike humans, two guinea pigs really buddy up and become the very best of friends. It's pretty amazing. Lastly, after the adoption process, the agreement even says something to the effect that if you should ever tire of the pigs, then you should bring them back to her. That says it all. If you're into guinea pigs, Cavy Spirit guinea pig rescue is the way to go. Like their website says: Adopt...Don't shop. Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die. Guinea pigs rock and so does Cavy Spirit!

From the very beginning, this breeder completely misled us about what we were getting, promising a…read morehealthy, well-socialized, easygoing Australian Labradoodle puppy, but instead we received a dog who not only came with chronic health issues including ear infections, digestive problems, skin irritations, and a coat that requires constant expensive grooming, but also developed severe behavioral problems such as extreme separation anxiety, relentless hyperactivity, destructive chewing, leash reactivity, and difficulty with house training, and to make matters even worse, at just one year old she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia -- something that clearly should have been screened for or disclosed, yet the breeder provided absolutely no support, guidance, or meaningful follow-up, leaving us completely on our own to navigate vet bills that have been astronomical, specialized diets, constant grooming, and hours upon hours of training, stress, and worry, while also feeling deceived by the glossy photos, marketing language, and promises that made it seem like we were bringing home a healthy, happy companion when in reality we got a high-maintenance, fragile, and unpredictable dog that turned what should have been a joyful, exciting experience into a nonstop nightmare of frustration, financial strain, emotional exhaustion, and regret, and honestly, anyone considering buying from this breeder should think extremely carefully, because the reality is nothing like the picture they paint online, and unless you want to commit to a year (and likely more) of daily struggles, expensive vet care, and emotional stress, you should stay far, far away from this breeder and look for someone who actually prioritizes the health and well-being of their dogs rather than just "making a sale."

Catherine breeds the cutest labradoodles around. We adopted our female puppy and brought her home…read moreat 8 weeks old. She did mention that she moved out to Patterson instead of breeding in Sunnyvale. However, she was very flexible and accommodating so we FaceTime to see the puppies a week before I came to pick up Georgi. I was impressed with how clean the house was especially for housing many dogs. I was mention that the puppies come home crate trained. For the most part they are because they're so accustomed to sleeping in the crate and we didn't have any problems with her crying and such. She's potty pad trained but did have a little accidents here and there. I mean they're still babies, totally expected and understandable. Georgi is one of the best things. She's extremely cuddly and friendly. She loves everything that moves. She was a bit wild for the first few months but that's with any kids, that have energy. One of the best thing is that she's neither submissive or dominant. I've had my friends dogs try to dominate her and all she does is walk away and then she will return and attempt to play while sharing her toys. She loves loves to swim! Isn't afraid of loud noises because we took her out on July 4th to see fireworks. I'm obsessed with her and her little quirks. I'll attach ph Catherine, thank you for breeding incredibly friendly, easy to train, shed-free and loving dogs. Seriously one of the highest quality both cuteness and temperament. This is coming from a dog owner my entire life and being surround by dogs. I've had a husky/Akita mix previously and Australian Labradoodle is one of a kind. Georgi is now 8 months with bundle of love

Almost four months later and Maverick has been a nothing but joy to have around and I couldn't have asked for a higher quality pet than what I received.

Coming from someone who's pretty much a first time pet owner, Jazmin was very accommodating and spent a lot of time texting back and forth making sure Maverick went to a good home by sharing tons of tips making my the entire process easy. She also checked in with me to see how Maverick was doing and was very responsive after the pickup. I would buy from them again and would 100% recommend. 5 stars!
