I would not recommend Furry Babies. I purchased a Pekingese from this location almost 4 years ago…read moreand unfortunately this has been one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a pet purchase. From the beginning, this dog has been extremely difficult and unsafe to manage. She has never been successfully potty trained, and more importantly, she has shown aggressive behavior, including biting a child, biting me (the owner who feeds her), and biting my nephew (who also feeds her). This is not normal behavior, and it has been heartbreaking and stressful for our household. I have owned several dogs in my life and have never had an issue like this. My dogs have always been well-trained, loved, and properly cared for. This is the only dog I've ever had ongoing problems with, despite doing everything right. I have spent over $3,000 purchasing her and an additional $7,000+ on vet bills, sedation, grooming, and professional training in an effort to correct these issues and keep everyone safe. At this point, I cannot continue to keep a dog locked up or constantly separated from children just to prevent another incident. When I contacted the store, Jessica initially told me they could not take the dog back. Later, she called me back and said they could take the dog back -- but with no refund and no accountability for selling a dog with these severe behavioral issues. I purchased this breed believing they were friendly and good with kids, and I was told that at the time of purchase. After doing my own research due to the aggressive behavior, I learned that Pekingese may not be ideal for children -- something that should have been discussed honestly before selling a puppy to a family. I'm leaving this review to warn other families: please do your research, ask hard questions, and think twice before purchasing from here.

Buyer Beware If you care about where your puppy comes from,…read morethink carefully before purchasing from a website that sells puppies online. I have not purchased from these sites myself, but in my work in the veterinary and grooming field, I've seen many dogs that originated from online sellers arrive sick, poorly socialized, or with lifelong health and behavior issues. In many cases, online puppy sales are connected to large-scale commercial breeding operations, commonly called puppy mills. No responsible breeder sells puppies through third-party websites or ships them sight unseen. A good breeder will invite you to meet the parents, see the environment the puppies are raised in, and will always take their dog back if the family cannot keep it. Websites that treat puppies like products shipped out on demand typically do none of this. For those looking for a healthy, well-adjusted companion, a safer route is to seek out a reputable breeder who doesn't sell mixes, shares all the parents health testing results (such as OFA, CHIC, PennHIP etc), provides full transparency about their dogs, and stands behind their puppies for life, or to consider adopting from a rescue. Supporting online puppy sales fuels the cycle of overbreeding and directly contributes to the shelter overpopulation crisis, as many of these puppies ultimately end up surrendered. Puppies are family members, not products, and they deserve better than being funneled through the puppy mill pipeline.

Bought a puppy on January 1st, and after 5 hours, the puppy died in my arms. The breeder ignored my…read morequestions about the puppy's condition the whole time. He accused me of the dog's death, even though the vets said it was 100% Parvovirus, and the breeder already knew about it because a Pitbull cannot die within 5 hours. Our expenses: $500 - Puppy $750 - Resuscitation $300 - We bought everything necessary for him, and since the puppy was with us during all the shopping, all items may be contaminated, to which the breeder just said to return them... After a week of disputes, they still haven't refunded us the $1550, leaving us in shock for a lifetime... Also, the puppy had contact with my mom's dog's scent, after which that dog got sick, and my parents had to spend an additional $1000 on treating their dog. I do not recommend dealing with these breeders!!!!! THATS TOTALY 100% SCAM

If you are at all hesitant in getting a Ragdoll kitten from Midwest Ragdolls based off of negative…read morereviews don't be! I have been scammed by a very good fake breeder. After that horrible experience we started searching for someone reputable. I already have two Ragdolls, but the breeder I got them from is way too far for me to drive since moving to Nashville. I was willing to drive back to the Chicagoland area if we found a great breeder. We did some research and Midwest Ragdolls came up. We contacted DR. Jennifer Creed regarding a seal mitted female, and she replied immediately that she had one for us. She is very reasonably priced. Although, communication wasn't the greatest when we initially requested photos, and other info., but she always sent us what we requested within a few days of asking. I'm going to be very transparent on this review because I wish someone had done this when I was reading reviews. A few things weren't making sense to me as far as age, and pickup of the kitten. I was very hesitant, and unsure if I would actually follow through with picking the kitten up on the date given based off of negative reviews I was reading during my 7 hour drive up to Chicago. I read that her kittens were malnourished, too early to go home, they weren't socialized well, and that she was using her veterinarian status to fool people. After looking at her website again, I noticed all the kittens, and adult cats looked healthy and well cared for. When I decided I was going to move forward and pick my kitten up I did just that. I can not emphasize enough how opposite those negative reviews are. DR. Creed has a beautiful property her kittens are born, and raised on. She was extremely welcoming, pleasant, knowledgeable, and my gorgeous seal mitted baby girl was perfect! She is extremely social, lovable, snuggly, playful, clean, and healthy. After, meeting Dr.Creed, I now know that the slight lack of communication wasn't intentional. She's a full time veterinarian, mom, and on the side breeds Ragdolls for the love she has for them. In all honesty, DO NOT second guess getting a Ragdoll kitten from Midwest Ragdolls. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I bought 3 cats from Jennifer over a few years, a friend bought 1. My friend's cat died of heart…read morefailure before his 3rd birthday and was also vicious. One time I was over there, he attacked me for no reason whatsoever and left 8 puncture wounds on the back of my leg. The first cat I bought (littermate of friend's cat) was also extremely mean and had to be rehomed. Cat number 2 is still going, is healthy and lovable and amazing at 11. She came home from Jennifer's cattery extremely sick though with an obviously swollen and oozing eye, and spent her first few days with me in the ER. At her first vet visit, she weighed less than a pound. Jennifer said she was the only kitten in the litter and my vet said that often happens when the mom is bred too young. Cat 3 died of heart failure at 9. Despite having 3 out of 4 of Jennifer's cats not turn out well and the 4th being sick at pickup, I reached back out to her after my boy died. Her response was short and unfriendly and she offered zero information, wouldn't answer when I asked if she was breeding my dead cat's parents still. Then I contacted American Girlz Ragdolls to see what they were like and the woman who responded was patient, kind, warm, informative and responsive. She also extended her condolences about my cat's death; Jennifer didn't utter a word. Is it that hard to say "sorry your cat died", particularly when I paid you a grand for the cat and was expecting more time with him? Also, when I picked up my second cat (sick one), one of the turtles in Jennifer's tank was obviously dead (yikes). When I picked up the 3rd cat, she wasn't even home and I wasn't welcomed in. Her husband met me at the front door, handed the kitten to me, and said goodbye. When I decide to get a new kitten, we are going to American Girlz. They are far and away superior to what Midwest offers based on my experience, the experience of my friend, and the 4 cats we purchased from Midwest. Editing to add: the owner, Jennifer, changed the name of the business, I'm guessing to distance herself from bad word of mouth. This business used to be called Midwest Ragdolls.

We purchased our puppy from them in 2022 for 5.5k, last Fall (at just 3 years old), he was…read morediagnosed with bone cancer after a tumor was discovered on his leg. Based on his age and the progression of the disease, we believe it may have started when he was around 2 years old (since bone cancer begins from the inside out so he had to have it before the tumor was noticed). Genetics are known to be a significant factor in bone cancer, which is why I reached out to the breeder to make her aware of his diagnosis and encourage her to look into his bloodline. Unfortunately, her immediate defensiveness when I shared this information was a major red flag to me. Along with her saying that she never had a dog with bone cancer (when bone cancer is very common for Cane Corsos, but the age he was points to genetics) Based on our experience, I personally have concerns about the breeding practices involved, and I have also come across complaints from other people. I'm sharing this so anyone considering purchasing a Cane Corso can do thorough research and make an informed decision. Based on our experience, I would not recommend purchasing a Cane Corso through Fidecore.
