Ratepa Kennels - My 6 month old puppy

Ratepa Kennels

(7 reviews)

I have wanted a Chihuahua for years! The right time finally came and I had searched and searched…read morefor months as I knew exactly the dog I wanted. I was so happy I found Ratepa Kennels and Theresa. Agreeing to a dog you've never met or seen in person can be a terrifying thought but I took a leap of faith and I'm so glad I did. We paid our deposit to hold her, then paid the balance before they flew our puppy out. They sent our little chihuahua puppy all the way from Missouri to California safely and we picked her up at the airport. Our puppy is happy, healthy and just perfect for our family. We couldn't be happier that we trusted Ratepa Kennels for our newest family member. Very thankful for Theresa and her family in breeding and raising a wonderful puppy for us, we're forever grateful.

You can google "Ratepa kennel puppy mill" and you'll find them listed on multiple reputable…read morewebsites as a puppy mill. According to one of those pages she had 74 adult dogs and 78 puppies at time of the inspection in 2023. With that said, the puppies are absolutely under socialized. I went to view two 12 week old mini Aussies and also met a 16 week old pup. All three were fearful and took a lot of convincing to approach us. I ended up picking the one who wouldn't approach us at all as I knew she would need a lot of extra work put into her to become a well adjusted adult dog. I've had her for a month now and she still will not willingly approach us when called nor accept pets or attention unless she is tired. And if she doesnt know you at all good luck touching her. She is getting better but the process is slow and she's overall an easy puppy but the fear of people is a huge problem for her. I do NOT think she was abused in any way. She just was not socialized or handled enough. While yes some of her fear could just be some genetically predisposed fearfulness, I think the main factor was the lack of handling at an early age. The women I met were both older, the dogs that I could see were clean and looked like they'd been groomed. They vaccinate, deworm and microchip the puppies (they seemingly do all of this themselves so they do not actually see the vet). The loose dogs were friendly and the dogs in the kennels were all quiet while we were viewing them. I do not think these are horrible people. They just have too many dogs to provide adequate care for.
