We found Kevin Miller on PuppyFind.com, in search of a new addition to our growing family. There…read morewere a couple postings of 8 week old female yellow labradors that were available, so I called Kevin to ensure that I could pick one up over the weekend. He was extremely friendly and answered the 25 or so questions that I had in regards to vet visits, vaccinations, and overall raising a pure breed. He was very knowledgable and was able to answer every single question I had, making the conversation very smooth and comfortable. I live in downtown Chicago, and the drive out to Arthur, IL took just under 3 hours. I had no cell phone reception when I got to the area, so make sure you have the exact address and directions to the residence before you get there. Upon arrival, Kevin greeted us at the door with the most beautiful little gal in the world! Pure breed, yellow labrador retriever, looking very healthy, beautiful coat color, well fed, and warmed up to us almost immediately. Kevin had me fill out some paperwork, transfering ownership, a 1-year health guarantee, canine registration form, as well as a canine health record that showed vaccinations and de-worming schedules to date. He gave us a small bag of dog food as well, so we could continue to use this as we transition to a new formula and get the puppy acclimated to our environment. Thank you so much Kevin for helping us grow our family! Highly recommended if you're looking for healthy labradors in the Chicagoland area, and from someone who is very friendly and knowledgable with dogs. Best, Charlie

We got our Cavapoo from Creekside puppies. The dogs can only be seen by appointment which I think…read moreis good for the safety of the people and the dogs. The puppies are clean and appear well cared for. We received a vet record which included her vaccination history and upcoming needs. They disclosed that her fontanelle had a small opening that had not fully fused during her development but was in great health. We chose to adopt her with this information. It was an almost microscopic opening and was not deemed a serious health risk. We took her to the vet ourselves after adoption for a full checkup. She received a clean bill of health. We had information on our puppy's parents but did not meet them. I do not believe they are on the same location. We have lived with our puppy for 3 years now and she is an absolute sweetheart and extremely healthy. She is timid around others due to her smaller size but never has had issues that appear abuse related like our other two dogs adopted from other locations not part of this breeder. I plan to adopt from here again if we are ever ready to care for additional dogs. I would recommend them.

Creekside did exactly as expected. They breed a sweet puppy.

When we got her home, she even seemed to be almost potty trained. We could tell that she lived with a family. If and when I'm ready for another puppy, I will for sure be going back to Creekside puppy adoptions.

She stayed the weight we were told and she is as gentle and precious as they come! Andrea made good on her word and met us at the airport. Her prices are beyond fair. Our precious now 1 and a 1/2 year old is spoiled and we give her a life of luxury as she deserves it with an amazing temperament of all our dogs. Our vet did sense an extremely mild heart murmur (grade 1 from 1-10) but we were told it could be anxiety and no dog has perfect health. We love her more than words and I highly recommend her as a fair breeder with just the cutest dogs you will ever see! Even if you live out of state she makes it easy for you to recieve your precious bundle . Buy from her, you will be so lucky you did!
