    Original communication about pick up date.
    Janene K.

    Beware, Ashley will sell you a sick dog. The dog may only be sick with a minor illness in her opinion, and an illness that her contract doesn't cover, but she will knowingly sell you a dog that is sick and mask it with comments about the dog traveling and changing dog foods that will cause diarrhea. Several of the pups in my dog's litter were sick, but it took us several weeks to figure out. I was the only one brave enough to tell Ashley why I wasn't leaving a review. Upon her insistence, poor behavior, and unprofessional actions, here it is. Ashley is psychotic. My issues with her began when I first put a deposit down on the pup. I asked when the pick-up date was and she gave me a date. I had six-hour travel and needed a weekend due to work, so naturally, I chose the weekend after the date she gave me because I assumed that was the earliest day to pick up knowing pups need to be 8 weeks old before leaving mom. As that date approached I learned that all the other dogs had already been picked up and that my dog was all alone. Frustrated, I tried every avenue to pick my dog up sooner as Ashley was being an Asshole. She turned it on me saying I asked for an extension, which I had not, I asked for a reasonable pick-up day for someone traveling 6 hours. And I could have easily done it a week earlier had I been given the correct dates. She makes everything someone eases fault. Never an apology, never an acceptance of error. I'm still biting my tongue at this point when Ashley and I agreed on a time for me to pick up the dog. I felt rushed to even agree to a 12 pm pick-up time, with my travel, but agreed. As I traveled down she continued to ask for ETA and then told me she needed to be somewhere a half hour before the time we even agreed upon. And upon arriving at her home, she rushed me through the whole process because she was late to something. oddly, no other dogs insight, and then Ashley tells me that my dog is being released from the backroom for the first time in his entire life. I couldn't get him out of there fast enough. When I picked him up, he was newly bathed and he stank. I assumed he had gotten into something, but later learned it was the smell of illness. Almost a month later when diagnosed by a professional Veterinarian, I let Ashley know he was sick. She insisted on natural remedies. So I tried it. My dog seemed better for a little bit but then got sick again. The other dogs all medicated per vet instructions. So now I'm following vet instructions. After several requests for reviews, I PMed Ashley that I wasn't happy with my experience with her or my sick dog. I 100% believe she knew he was sick when she sold him to me. Now, I understand that it's not an illness that her contract covers...that's fine, but had I been informed, I would have treated him right away and the issue would have ended. It's a reflection of her integrity. I've had to throw out a brand new rug that has been covered in shit ten times over because of her not disclosing the real issue. After asking Ashley to not ask me for reviews anymore, she lashed out at me, telling me that I was a problem form the beginning, she twists things around like a narcissist. And then took it into the litter group chat, calling everyone out. She insisted on buying the dog back. She took screenshots from my facebook of me giving my older dog a piece of candy months ago (never been sick) and has created some twisted defense saying I'm making the dog sick by following vet instructions and giving my other dog a candy (never sick). Oddly, I blocked Ashley shortly after picking up the dog, so she must have taken screenshots long ago when she had access. Ashley is unprofessional and dishonest...a perfect example of narcissism and psychotic rolled into one. I would highly discourage anyone from working with her, but more so, if you purchase a dog, I would take a stool sample to your vet right away, because I believe Ashley's home is infected with diseases that her contract doesn't cover and she knows it.

    Hi, do you guys have any French bulldog or corgi puppies available around these time?

    Hello, we may have a French Bulldog litter due mid-late January. We will be confirming with an ultrasound in a week or so.

Atlas is an all black German Shepherd who came into my life when I didn't even know I needed him. My mom (Lana) got her amazing baby Lucifer a short time before I got my Atlas. I fell in love with Lucifer and realized I needed a baby of my own. Michael and Jeanette brought Atlas into my life and just knew we would be a perfect match. Atlas is the most incredible dog, companion, and protector. I've never had a dog of my own and never thought I would but because of these amazing human beings I now have Atlas. He's changed my life and brought happiness back into my life. Michael and Jeannette not only perfectly matched me with Atlas but are always available to provide advice and guidance on what to do. They have made owning a dog for the first time the most amazing and stress free process. They are incredibly insightful and knowledgeable. My life has forever changed because of them.

He is my best friend, love-child, constant companion and loyal protector. They matched a perfect dog for my personality and character. Thanks to Michael's custom training, Lucifer is always well behaved and poised. He travels with us everywhere, and is comfortable in cars, planes boats, etc. Michael and Jeanette are always there to answer any questions I have or provide guidance. In fact, thanks to Luci, they have become family and I am very grateful to have them in my life. Michael not only trained Lucifer but also taught me how to provide Lucifer with what he needs, so that we can have the best possible relationship. I was so impressed with Lucifer and my experience with them, that I reached out to them for a german shepherd for my daughter. Once again, they found the perfect dog with the right personality for my daughter. Atlas has become my daughter's best friend, companion and executive protection dog. As Lucifer is getting close to an age where he can be bred, I decided to get a female german shepherd as well. Of course, I reached out to Jeanette and Michael and the search is on for the perfect. Mrs. Lucifer, lol. For those with discriminating taste who will not settle for anything but the best, I highly recommend Jeanette and Michael. I find that it's difficult to find people who still possess honesty, integrity and decency. So when I met this amazing couple, I felt it immediately and decided that they must stay in my life forever. Thank you again for everything. Looking forward to finding Mrs. Lucifer.

He's the love of my life and I don't regret him at all. However the condition he was given to me was so unacceptable. Poor Kenzo at just 8 weeks old was infested with Ticks, had an eye infection in his left eye and giardia. I was told I would get reimbursed for all of those medical bills that I had to pay right up front after purchasing a "healthy" puppy from Timeless but instead Karen eventually just stopped responding to me. Well now fast forward almost 6 years and he has been diagnosed with primary glaucoma (this form is hereditary) it's been a horrible diagnosis. There's no cure, it's extremely painful for them and eventually they go completely blind in both eyes. Please rethink on where you're getting your puppy from. Our sweet boy is now suffering everyday from this horrible eye disease that has no positive outcome and will leave him fully blind in just a couple years or possibly even shorter.

The puppy that was delivered to me had massive behavior problems. Voracious digger =heartache. Aggressive towards other male dogs. I guess letting the father dog in to terrorize the babies really is not smart. She also tried to get my vet to falsify information... on and on it went. I returned the pup and gifted him to the puppy nanny who had delivered him to me. Again, this breeder inserts herself and snags him back. Please find a breeder that actually cares about the dogs and not buy from a breeder who is in it to support their own egos! Despicable B____!

    After landing on a Havanese (after some deep searching for the best breed for myself and my…read morefamily), I found Marti of Harris Havanese in Redondo Beach. Choosing Marti was easily the best choice I could have ever made and I am forever a client of Marti's. I will never look elsewhere when adopting my next Havanese (or a breed that isn't a Havanese, for that matter). I adopted Cookie, formally Cartier, from the "C" litter. From our first phone call in Fall 2024, Marti was attentive to the details of my life and what kind of puppy temperament would be best fit for my lifestyle. She is kind, SO communicative, and the most detail-oriented, loving, and caring person/breeder. Seeing how loved these puppies are far before they are even born was constant reassurance that I made the best choice. I would receive multiple texts/pictures/videos a day when Cookie was born. So anxious and excited to get my puppy, Marti answered all of my questions and was always so reassuring and kind. Cookie came to me loving her crate (this was a game changer), being exposed to so many sights and sounds (her groomer says she is better behaved than adult dogs she's been grooming for years ), and is the epitome of a perfect puppy and I truly owe it all to Marti because she set Cookie (and the rest of her litter) up for complete success. Everyone in my life is so surprised when they hear how young Cookie is because she is truly so well behaved, has a great sense of independence, and loves to just hang with our crew. Thank you to Marti and Gracie for loving these puppies with your whole heart. You both feel like family and I cannot express my gratitude for how you raised little Cookie.

Out of the blue in December, she became paraplegic and we had to have same day surgery to give her a chance to walk again. It's a $9600 surgery. Luckily she walked again after full on rehabilitation. But she injured herself again 5 months later. This is our first dog and I had no idea this breed has 1 chance out of 4 to get diagnosed with IVDD around the age of 4. I reached out to the breeder to get an idea if that was running in her family line and to let other families know that my dog had the issue so they can be proactive about it, most likely people who purchased a puppy from that litter has a much higher risk as it's genetic. Other people are going to run into the same issue, cost and major stress. They replied saying her parents were happy and healthy. No support whatsoever. This is a huge deal in my opinion and they aren't taking this seriously. I don't think I'm an isolated case. Anyone with a mini should take pet insurance at the very least we should have more information on IVDD from the breeder so we can be informed on the signs. If you don't get surgery within 24 hours, your dog will most likely be paralyzed. After surgery, she had to be 100% crated with strict instructions to manage pain with meds 3 times/day with food that we had to spoon feed. We were carrying her and holding her body trying to make her go potty. We had to have someone at the house 24/7 to ensure she's taken care of. Super long journey to get her back and she just injured herself again. Not as bad as she's walking still but it might be another episode of IVDD located elsewhere. I can't stress enough that the initial investment to get a puppy is just that.

Daniel contacted us and asked very specific questions about the Goldendoodle we were looking for. Daniel's expertise allowed us to figure out exactly what we wanted. Daniel maintained communication with us and answered all our questions (there were MANY questions). Daniel gained our trust and we decided to "Reserve" one of their beautiful Goldendoodles. There was no pressure to purchase this specific Goldendoodle. That made us very comfortable meeting this Goldendoodle. Once we met this Goldendoodle, we were convinced he was well cared for, healthy and came from a loving home and environment. This was important for us. We instantly fell in love with Maui and decided on the spot he was a great addition to our family. Maui has adapted well to his new home. This is greatly due to him being socialized and partially potty and crate trained. It's helped out tremendously!! It was a great experience adopting Maui from Doodles Los Angeles! They will certainly get referrals from us!

I decide to call and a older woman picks up I say hello good morning, who do I have the pleasure in speaking with? (I ask who it is I'm speaking with so that I can properly greet her ) she responds rudely& with an attitude "well you called me so you should know who I am" I say oh ok I do apologize but am I calling to Tropico kennels? She says yea. And then goes off on a rant that she doesn't answer her person phone often because she receives calls of people always trying to buy her house or sell her stupid shit. I said oh ok I understand but that was very unprofessional of you, I do not wish to purchase a dog off a business who doesn't know how to be professional or answer a phone call like a decent human being. So I then hung up. I would never speak to anyone that way regardless of the circumstances. Learn to be respectful and polite. Completely put me off and definitely will NOT EVER be buying a dog from this place. I'm editing my review because after a couple minutes my mom said she wanted to try and call to get information about the dogs. Because again my mom is interested in buying a puppy. So my mom calls says hello good morning I was wanting to get some information about the golden doodle puppies you might have. the same woman answers and says oh ok sure but can I call you back in a couple of minutes? My mom said sure not a problem and then the woman hung up. LITERALLY 1 minute goes by and I receive a message from this woman (I have attached a photo of the message) saying nice try! I did reply and then blocked her. Never in my life have I ever had an encounter like this. The woman then proceeds to call my mom back (I have attached a photo of the phone call as well that she called back) (as you can see she called back & the call lasted 14sec bc she was a COWARD & hung up) and say to her that she is not going to sell us any dog because I called and hung up on her, and that she should tell her daughter to not be a bitch. The woman proceeds to hang up. So I blocked her on both my mother & I's phone. Completely UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE! We were only wanting information about the puppies! Which is why my mom insisted on her trying to call because she really wants a puppy. HORRIBLE experience!

    Lisa should be incredibly embarrassed in how she runs her business. I received her bulk email…read moresaying puppies were available. I filled out her form to submit a deposit and had a few questions. Basic things you'd like to know before agreeing to spend $5000. Such as "how much will he weigh?". "I know the type of color and coat I'd like. Does the puppy I selected fit what I'd like?" and "might you have a photo of what he would likely look like fully grown?". I get a reply with her daughters Venmo info and nothing else I kindly asked again about my questions (thinking maybe she didn't see that part) and I get a dismissive reply saying she's too busy and suggests I find another breeder. Every other breeder I've reached out to who are surely equally as busy as Lisa have had absolutely no problem answering a few simple questions before taking my money because they want you to be happy with your puppy. As that is best for the pup and the owner. Her pups are $1800 more than almost any other breeder in the country. I'm not sure why, but it's definitely not because of their outstanding customer service. 2 stars instead of 1 star because she was at least clear that she won't communicate with you until you pay up. Lisa, I took your advice and have placed a deposit with another breeder.
