We've been boarding our Rudy here for over a year, but we are going to have to find a new place…read more The set-up is good, actually, with individual spaces with indoor and outdoor parts. The facility is clean and well-maintained. The prices are fair as well. Rudy seemed okay except for smelling kind of bad when we get him home too. Because of this, we bore with the attitude of the kennel owner/ operator, Bernie. He has always had this way of making us feel we are bugging him whenever we talk to him. Mind you, we're not the type to call in to check on our dog constantly while we are away. In fact, we've never done that at all. We have a very well-behaved, low maintenance dog. The thing we do though is occasionally forget his complex hours of operation. We leave our dog 2-3x/ year so it really is not something we have committed to memory. He also neither have his hours on his card (which we have on the ref constantly nor does he have it on his webpage) At any rate, we always called ahead of time to make reservations or when we end up coming back early and want to claim our dog sooner. This last time was last week. We back a day early. We called up from the road that morning asking if we could pick Rudy up later that day at around 1 pm. He was all huffy about our proposed time of of pick-up does not work with his hours. We immediately apologized and said it was fine, we will pick him up at 5 pm instead. Mind you, this was not a back and forth conversation where we insisted on the time we wanted. We just said it once, and like any sane person would have done, he could have just reminded us about his hours without the attitude. Pick up time comes, my husband got there and was then attacked by bad-mood Bernie immediately. He pointed to the 48 hour cancellation notice in the wall and told him he was lucky he is not charging him the extra day. My husband was ready to apologize and pay for the extra day anyway, but Bernie just went on and on about our "mistakes". At any rate, my husband gave him some choice words about his poor attitude as a business owner, paid him in full, IN CASH, like we always do, and took our Rudy home. At home, I immediately noted how emaciated our dog looked. Sure enough, he went down from his usual vet recommended weight of 17 lbs to a little less than 15 - in 10 days! He has lost a lot of chest and leg muscles and was shivering even in our warm house. It has been horribly cold the past week, I am willing to bet that the heat was not turned on so that Rudy had to shiver away some two lbs to keep warm. We will never go back to this place EVER!

Henni is a bit older, so he needs some quiet time as well as space to play. The set up at B&B is great, it has space to play indoors and outside, as well as separate space for downtime when needed. It is great to have a place and people you trust, it really puts our minds at ease when we can't take our dog with us.

When it comes to buying or boarding a dog, trust is paramount. You want to know and feel that all…read moreof your considerations are being taken into account. This is completely understandable. But let me get to the bottom line. You wont find a more competent, caring, and considerate dogman than Carlos. His energy goes into the dogs. If he comes off a bit terse its because hes spent his entire life perfecting the breeding, training, rearing and showing of countless numbers of dogs. Hours and hours each day he's at it. And its a grind. Its very hard work. Early and long days. But he does it because he loves the dogs, period. Almost two years ago I visited Carlos to tell him what I wanted in a new pup. I had owned, trained and bred many dogs throughout my life and so of course i too had many questions. But to make a long story short, Carlos acknowledged what I wanted and said he'd get me a good pup. He got me a great pup. And hes a Ruckus!!! Trust Carlos and try to set aside your worries. I know its hard. But Carlos is the best and he knows what you want. He wants it too, probably more.
