Since I haven't seen it here yet, the "partner" that breeds their dogs whose name they are oh so careful not to mention on their website is Clem Disterhaupt of Nebraska. Give the name a Google and you'll see why they don't name him. He managed to get his USDA breeding license SUSPENDED in 2008, which REALLY takes some effort as the USDA is not exactly tough on puppy mill enforcement: https://oalj.oha.usda.gov/sites/default/files/AWA-06-0023_080225.pdf (refusal to admit the inspectors, btw, means he probably declined to let them in at some point knowing how bad things were...all those violations are from when he WILLINGLY allowed inspectors in. Can you imagine how ugly it must've been if the violations in the report are what he allowed them to see??) If you don't want to read the PDF, imagine those heartbreaking Sarah McLaughlan ASPCA ads (in the aaaarms of the aaaangels) and that about sums it up. Fuzzypups is nothing but a broker for a (particularly gruesome) puppy mill. I'm sure they'll claim he cleaned up his act or something, but think about it a minute- does someone who lets things get that bad actually "care about dogs" enough to turn things around and somehow become a responsible breeder working only for the betterment of the dogs and not for sheer profits? Let me answer that for you... NO! And no, I don't have a "fuzzypup," I ran across them while searching for a REPUTABLE havanese breeder and was absolutely appalled that these disgusting mill brokers tried to paint themselves as a "family business all about the dogs." Give me a break. All about the Benjamins maybe. I just laid my rescued mill dog (from a mill dog shelter, not "rescued" by buying them from the mill!!) to rest, about 5 years before her breed's typical lifespan, after years of illness and suffering, because people like ol' Clem and Fuzzypups couldn't care less if they're churning out dogs that are going to suffer from painful health defects all their short lives. They'd rather make money off torturing sentient creatures- and make no bones about it, that's what dogs in mills go through- torture! Before they accuse me of being against breeders, there's absolutely nothing wrong with buying a dog from a responsible breeder who is doing everything they can to produce healthy, well adjusted dogs, better the breed, and do right by dogkind. Heck, I'm looking for a good breeder myself, for my own reasons. Fuzzypups is NOT a good breeder, nor is Clem Disterhaupt. Sure, you might get lucky and end up with a healthy or psychologically sound dog if you buy from Fuzzypups, but based on other reviews it's quite the gamble. MORE IMPORTANTLY, any money you give to Fuzzypups, whether through boarding, grooming, or buying a puppy, is going directly back into the mill industry and ensuring people like Clem Disterhaupt can stay in business to keep churning out mill puppies. If you care about dogs AT ALL, stay far, FAR away!! read more

Very happy with Fuzzy Pups. We've boarded our Charlie with Fuzzy Pups for years and recently got our Teddy from them. Teddy is a very intelligent and loving puppy. Would highly recommend Fuzzy Pups! read more

Teddy and Breck have bonded quickly and are already becoming best paw friends Teddy is such a smart pup, is so patient and sweet with kiddos, perfect for families with small children Thank you so much, Pam and Janae read more

Firstly, people looking for pets/dogs/companions will truly travel the distance, if compelled, for the right match for family, for loved ones, for that special needs child, or the newly widowed/widowered, or whatever circumstances nudges you to find a furry friend. By the same token, breeders, too, will look for partners with whom to work to help those seeking their special breeds to adopt. State borders do not determine partnerships. Secondly, any first level search on Google will lead you to a plethora of bullshit. If you are serious, this initial step is already dismissible. Any research worth hanging your hat on is where your next level efforts lead you. FuzzyPups! works with Clem L. Disterhaupt, a licensed breeder (as of 3/30/2020. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/downloads/List-of-Active-Licensees-and-Registrants.pdf), in Stuart, NE. This partnership is not a puppy mill. "A puppy mill, also known as a puppy farm, is a commercial dog breeding facility characterized by quick breeding and poor conditions.[1] Although no standardized legal definition for "puppy mill" exists, a definition was established in Avenson v. Zegart in 1984 as "a dog breeding operation in which the health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profits". (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_mill) The folks at FuzzyPups! know about their Havanese. There is an overlapping of appreciation, love, and connection combined with a wealth of first-hand knowledge that only experience can glean. One visit will show you that the puppies are happy, and oh so very typically puppy: running, stumbling, vocalizing, and exploring with curiosity and confidence bigger than their goofy puppy bodies, in spaces - both indoor and outdoor - among structures that challenge them mentally and physically. At adoption time, paperwork showed shots were current and next steps for vet visits were explained. Even tips for how to find the right groomer for this breed were shared. How you are affected by the price you pay will be a personal assessment whose details are wholly specific to you, that only you can own. No one else needs to know your financial landscape. If you've found that a Havanese or a Wheaten is your breed of choice, chances are that it is not because a cheap sale was your highest priority for seeking these breeds out. Let others' opinions about their cash flow be just that: a personal, possibly oversharing, undeniably real bullet point based on a relationship among other budgetary bullet points specific to their circumstances. All that being said, after a specific reason for deciding on a Havanese, I was prepared to travel to South Carolina to meet with a breeder. On a whim, I searched Colorado and found FuzzyPups!. My daughter and I had a great experience meeting the puppies. I learned a great deal about my daughter as she figured out which of the remaining puppies of a recent litter would bond with her. I was nervous about maybe taking up too much time with the pups to decide if there was one just right for my kiddo. We sat with the puppies and played, and I asked a lot of caretaking questions, while The One slowly revealed himself to my kiddo. As we left, we discussed if the one that kept approaching her was the one she wanted, did she need time away to think about it, did she want to look somewhere else. A week later we adopted from FuzzyPups!. Answers to every question came with years of observation and experience, with resources and names, with highly advised suggestions. At no time did I feel pressured to adopt. They understood our need to find the right fit. Even their adoption application asks questions to help them help you. The adoption process concluded with an invitation to reach out if we had any questions or concerns. read more

We just got Timmy today, our third puppy from Fuzzy Pups. As always great dogs, our first one was Barkley, a Bichon Frise. Maisy, a Shi-shon Mix and now Timmy, a Wheaten Terrier. All puppies that we have purchased from Pam are amazing, we were lucky to find Fuzzy Pups 15 years ago and never been disappointed. This is not a puppy mill, they are great dog breeders and they definitely know what they're doing, the dogs come from a great blood line. My wife and I won't trust anyone other than Pam and her daughter Janae. I would highly recommend Fuzzy Pups if you want a pure bred dog. If you ever purchase a dog from Fuzzy Pups, which we highly recommend again, they are always there to answer any questions you may have. Thanks again Pam and Janae for matching us with a great puppy. read more

Fuzzypups! - Hello, my name is Timmy. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Parker, Colorado

We love Fuzzypups! We have had three dogs from them over the past 25 years. My Havanese, Oliver, is the most recent. He is almost two years old and we absolutely adore him. Our beautiful Pomeranian lived for 15 years and our amazingly sweet Bichon also lived for 15 years. We have been very happy with them and have boarded our dogs and also groomed them there for years. Oliver is so happy to be there every time we bring him for grooming or boarding. He loves it there and loves the company of the other dogs and the wonderful family that operates this lovely business. We highly recommend Fuzzypups for all services that they provide. read more

This place is wonderful! I've seen dogs come in and out and be happy as can be the whole time. Along side boarding the dogs while owners are out of town, this place also sells Bichon Frise, Shih Tzu, Shihchon and (now) Havanese puppies! Every dog gets their own "suite" with wooden floors and a soft comfy bed. Everyday the dogs are let out into the "playroom" two or three times. The playroom contains 4 more comfy toddler beds, this is where the dogs are allowed to interact and socialize. There are 4 backyards in case there happens to be some anti social dogs. This place is wonderful and takes wonderful care of all pups! read more

Fuzzypups! - This is Tex, he is a havanese puppy at the Bichon Frise Get Away - Pet Groomers Near Me - Parker, Colorado

Fuzzypups is the best place to board a small dog! We so appreciate having a place to take our furry family member where he won't get trampled or overwhelmed by larger dogs. They have wonderful play areas both inside and out, individual suites for when it's time to go to bed, but what makes them so exceptional are the humans who love them. Our dog has gone to "camp" here for 12 years. "Aunt Pam" and the rest of the team love our dog like he's there own. They are willing to take on challenging​ circumstances when our dog was on meds, they offer full-service​ grooming services, and/or they will simply give them a bath before they come home. We wouldn't take our dog anywhere else. read more

Just another place disguised as using "reputable" breeders! Such bullshit! All about greed for you people! You don't care about the dogs being bred to death to line your pocket books do you! SHAME ON YOU! Disgusting human beings! The puppies are kept out in a barn type structure and not in the home. People beware this place does not even deserve one star! There are a big fat ZERO! Do not allow your dog to be boarded there! They leave after they are fed at 5pm and does not return in the outdoor kennel until morning. So if your dog does not like to be alone or needs to potty before bed time this is NOT the place to leave them. read more

Based on a suggestion from someone who had adopted from Fuzzypups previously, I reached out to Pam via phone to discuss what attributes our new family member needed to have to be compatible with our clan. After talking with her, I decided to make the trip to Colorado. It was a great experience. The set up she has is fantastic. I wish I lived closer so I could use her grooming and boarding services. The puppies had indoor and outdoor play areas with ample room to run and play with each other. All of the areas were clean and well kept. Pam was very patient as I made my decision on a puppy. Once I got home with our new pup, Pam was only a phone call away to discuss any issues that came up and to offer advice if needed. It was an awesome experience and I would not hesitate to do it again. read more

Great place to bring your little dog when you are out of town. They sell puppies and provide grooming services as well. They love and pamper the little dogs as though they were their own. read more

See all

Love fuzzy pups. Only place I will adopt my social, well adjusted, happy havanese. I don't live in the state but did not think twice about the distance traveled to adopt a fluff. I appreciate the adoption requirements and the forever support. I have reached out several times for guidance and training suggestions for my most recent 2/22/18 adoption. Pam has helped me through without hesitation or judgement. I highly recommend fuzzy pups if you are looking for a fun loving, active, friendly (to everyone and thing) forever fluff for your family. I am fortunate and blessed to have 2 in my home who provide my family daily entertainment, laughs and tons of love. read more

these people are dog brokers. Why would anyone purchase from a broker where you cannot even meet the dog parents or see how the babies are raised? They get the puppies from some breeder they don't disclose which is more than fishy ... a good, ethical breeder is proud of their pups and wants to show them off, can bring vet references and wants to know where their puppies go! In a time where puppies are in short supply ... a good breeder doesn't need a broker unless they are a puppy mill or have something to hide? Puppies that come from elsewhere are kept in an outdoor area and an outbuilding and not raised with a family.This causes unnecessary stress on the puppies - first away from their mom , then after a few weeks yet another home! All this makes house training harder as the dogs don't even have a concept of inside/outside and socialization as well, regular household noises like vacuums, stairs , loud children, TV ... these are all things little puppies should be around to make well rounded pets. Do yourself a favor and find a breeder who cares enough to find good homes for their puppies and doesn't use a middle person. Try to see how the parent dogs are kept and how their personality is like. The prices that Fuzzypups charges are very high - for this kind of money you can expect a purebred dog, with papers, from a breeder you can meet in person! Anyone can register a dog and then pass other litter off as purebred - Havanese look close enough to many mixed breeds that it is hard to tell unless you see the parents and ideally the grandparent dogs! Don't support brokers and puppy mills ... support local small breeders registered with the State vet dept and always demand to see the living conditions puppies were raised in ! read more

We adopted a puppy from them 12 years ago when they still bred and sold Bichons and Shih-shons ... Our dog was extremely fearful and I would say that he had likely not experienced grass or many surfaces before he got to our home. Our baby was scared of everything ... the outdoors, wind, other dogs, would not potty outside - potty training was unbelievably difficult. We adopted an older dog as a companion for him per recommendation of our trainer and to this day ... I believe it saved him. Our other dog taught him how to be a happy dog and gave him security. I have since fostered many mill puppies and they show very similar symptoms. I have no proof that this place sells mill puppies but looking at our dog I am suspicious ... They have puppies every single month, only accept cash or check? Which breeder sends their babies off out of state to be sold by someone else? Their facility isn't like a home environment - puppies raised in facilities do not get the personal attention they need or get used to the everyday household routines. The prices they charge for their " Havanese" are astronomical and ...they cannot show the parents. All those little Teddy bear puppy mixes look similar when still little ... who can really prove that they have purebred Havanese? I am almost positive our own dog wasn't what they claimed it to be ... he got quite a bit bigger than both Shih Tzu or Bichon are ... 25 lb with not an oz of fat ( he is even skinny in old age) ... My vet thinks he is a poodle mix of some kind ( long snout, lite build ... not at all like Shih Tzu OR Bichon ... ) ... We love our dog dearly but ... if you want a puppy be cautious with Fuzzypups ... they charge breeder prices but are likely just another dog broker ... read more

I've been using Fuzzypups for many years to board and groom our dogs. We've always been happy with their care of our pets. The dogs have lots of room to play both indoors and out. Pam is wonderful with our pets and they love visiting. Thank you Fuzzypups for giving us peace-of-mind when we leave our dogs with you. read more

If you get a job there NEVER be late . The owner will not give you a second chance. Your late once and your fired

Buyer Beware! Better ask yourself why this place keeps cranking out puppies every other month. They say they get them from a "reputable breeder" out of state. What kind of "reputable breeder" sends their puppies out of state to be sold? Pet store puppies sell the same thing - puppies from a "reputable breeder" out of state. These are called Puppy Mills. We bought one of these puppies a year ago. We asked for a submissive dog. When we saw the litter the owner kept trying to grab at one who was hiding in a corner. He was 14 weeks old by then and looked like he had been grabbed at a lot. We thought he would come out of his shell once he felt secure with us. So after going to classes and consulting a dog trainer we still have a dog extremely fearful of people. He recently bit a friend who came by for a visit. Unprovoked aggression. After a year he is good with us, but will not tolerate other people coming near him. Our dog trainer said we shouldn't trust him but only manage him. This has been a very sad experience with this dog. Maybe other fuzzy pups are more sociable but ours, even with tons of opportunities, has never warmed up to people. Puppy Mills crank out puppies that can be mentally unfit. Good luck. read more
