As Girlfriend is approaching her 3rd birthday in November, I just wanted to take the time to say how much of a joy she has been for me, my daughter, and even my parents who have never been into animals of any kind! In fact, as we speak, Girlfriend is at the grandparents house in NC with my daughter and has been for the past month! I wasn't sure how the dog thing would go but working with Brenda was a breeze. Girlfriend has this far been a healthy and happy pup. We've only had to see a vet for check ups and minor things. She is everything I could ask for and more. Her personality is so much like mine, laid back...calm and collected, that it's unreal. I've been thinking about adding another Havanese soon. I lived in Houston at the time that I got Girlfriend but have since then relocated to MD but I wouldn't dream of using any other breeder!

A variety of worms, as she was obviously not dewormed and Giardia parasite which has now been passed to my two other dogs. Giardia has to be sent out for special testing which is not available in the 24-48 breeder request. We are now on a second round. This has been a nightmare because it is extremely contagious to humans as well. So keeping things sterilized around the clock is difficult. I have much more to add and feel free to contact me. I did advise her and she said she took all her dogs for testing I call bullshit on that, how does she know who's poops is who's, to get tested, This is very close to a puppy mill so don't be fooled by the beautiful website and promises of doggy door trained, family trained etc! It's not true! The live in huge kennels. The address on the website is not where they breed these dogs. They live at a location they don't want you to know about....i do have that address wish they would publish that and be honest. BUYER BEWARE AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS ON A DOG YOU WILL NEED MORE TO MAKE THEM HEALTHY. We are now on our third round of treating Giardia. Let me tell you this is exhausting keeping all areas sanitized, bedding constantly washed etc. I have two other dogs, they have been treated as well. vet bills, compound pharmacy prescriptions (because the medication is really foul tasting) all $ that add up. how can this breeder possible send home a healthy puppy. Remember you sign your rights away when you sign that contract. This is a very dishonest person! will look you straight in the eye like a saint, but she is not, the devil is looking at your check instead! I am posting pics of my beautiful puppy but how I wish she wasn't sick!

TL;DR: Fancy Pups is legitimate. Their set up is very nice, they care about the puppies, and they…read moreare not shady at all. We bought an adorable Yorkie pup from Fancy Pups just over a year ago. The entire experience was pleasant. I called, told them the puppy I was interested in, and drove down the next morning to take a look. The puppy was exactly as I'd expected it to be--cute, fluffy, healthy, and happy! I brought him home that morning. To address the concern of whether or not they are breeder: Jon and Jimmie used to breed Yorkies, but stopped several years ago. Now, they operate as a broker only. They sell Yorkies for longtime friends. I can not confirm to whether or not the puppies come from puppy mills, but what I can say is that our Yorkie was healthy, well cared for, well-marked, and adapted extremely well. Our puppy did have some hypoglycemia issues (common in these little babies). I was able to reach out to Jimmie by email, then phone, to discuss. While our puppy is just fine now, Jimmie was genuinely concerned and really helpful. She asked that I let her know if there are any systemic issues (i.e. liver shunt) found so that the dog's parents would not be bred again to prevent this genetic defect. Fortunately, no liver shunt was found.

I had an extremely upsetting experience with Katy Cattery and would not recommend them…read more I reserved a female Ragdoll kitten, paid an $855 deposit, and was scheduled to pick her up in less than two weeks. Believing the placement was confirmed, I purchased insurance, bought supplies, rearranged my apartment, installed a professional catio, scheduled veterinary care, adjusted my work schedule, and coordinated a trip to Houston around pickup. Emily then abruptly canceled the placement after observing that the kitten was reserved around an unfamiliar caregiver for several days. She decided that because I regularly have three or four familiar friends visit my otherwise quiet apartment, the kitten was no longer a suitable match. I explained that my home is calm, that I do not host loud parties or constant strangers, and that I would provide the kitten with a private safe space and allow her to adjust gradually. The decision remained final without discussion of a transition plan or other accommodation. I understand that temperament matching matters, but canceling less than two weeks before pickup after allowing me to spend money, prepare my home, and become deeply attached was devastating. My best friend is moving permanently to Sweden shortly after the planned pickup, and I had expected this new family member to provide companionship during that difficult transition. I am now likely facing months of waiting to find another compatible female kitten. Emily declined to compensate me for insurance or other expenses caused by the cancellation. She offered $100 off a future kitten instead, despite the fact that her next litter is not going to be available for adoption until TEN MONTHS from now. A deposit refund does not erase the financial loss, logistical disruption, and extreme emotional distress caused by canceling a confirmed placement at the last possible moment. Prospective buyers should ask very clearly whether their specific kitten can still be taken away after a deposit is paid and how close to pickup that decision may be made.

This review is for Katy Cattery in Texas. I am writing this review after having time to process…read morewhat occurred and to share my experience as accurately and honestly as possible. From the day I brought my kitten home (approximately three weeks ago), he showed subtle but persistent signs of respiratory issues. He would sneeze intermittently and occasionally wheeze, particularly when I picked him up. He had been described to me as having a "cuddly, calm demeanor," but in hindsight, I now believe this behavior may have been related to not feeling well. When Emily initially described his temperament prior to pickup, I specifically asked whether he might be sick or unwell. During his first week with me, he was very timid and not playful. At the time, I attributed this to a normal adjustment period. About a week ago, he developed an eye infection, and I took him to the veterinarian immediately and informed Emily. At no point during this conversation was I informed of any known or suspected respiratory illness, including Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1), in cats from her cattery. I was later informed that eye infections commonly occur alongside respiratory infections in kittens. Shortly after this, his condition escalated rapidly and severely. He developed an extremely high fever, rapid breathing, and significant wheezing. He was taken to an emergency veterinary hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition. He has required continuous IV fluids since admission and has since been formally diagnosed with pneumonia. He remains under intensive veterinary care. This situation has resulted in thousands of dollars in emergency and hospitalization expenses, as well as an extremely stressful and frightening emotional experience. After my original review was posted, I was contacted by another individual who shared that their kitten from the same cattery (born about 15 days before mine) was diagnosed with Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1). This information was not disclosed to me at the time of purchase, nor was it disclosed when I informed Emily of my kitten's eye infection. Additionally, when I asked whether any other cats in her home, including those from his or other litters, had experienced respiratory issues, I was told no. While I cannot state with absolute certainty when or where my kitten became ill, the presence of respiratory symptoms from the day I brought him home, combined with veterinary guidance regarding incubation timelines and learning that another kitten from the same cattery was diagnosed with FHV-1 during the same timeframe, is information I believe prospective buyers deserve to be aware of when considering potential health risks. I also want to note that after posting my original review, I was asked to remove it and was informed that legal action would be pursued if it remained online. As a consumer, this further reinforced the importance of sharing factual, health-related experiences publicly so others can make fully informed decisions. I am sharing this review to accurately reflect my experience and to encourage transparency regarding health issues that may impact new owners and their animals. UPDATE: I want to clarify an important point. I have been in communication with the owner of another kitten from the same litter as mine who was diagnosed with a severe respiratory condition. I have since learned that the breeder was provided with that kitten's medical records prior to my inquiry about whether any other kittens were ill. This information was not shared with me at the time I asked about the health of other kittens.

This is a factual review of perfect paw pups. Our trust was…read morestrong in this breeder because X years ago, we had purchased (Winston)from them previously with no problem. In April 2023, I contacted perfect paw pups regarding a new puppy for my daughter to be a companion. I felt confident that my experience would be the same as it was with Winston. On June 23rd we were shown the litter and selected the sweet little boy with the black nose and named him Mousse. It was still several weeks before we could take him home, but received updates, and any expected pet would. We watched him grow and eagerly awaited the time until he could come home. On August 26th 2023 we drove to Houston to (5 hr drive and an overnight hotel stay) to pick him up. My daughter immediately bonded with him, and we would be headed home the next day. We had been given his papers, and shot records from in home shots, not vet shots, along with a complimentary puppy starter pack, after paying the agreed upon fee of $1600, and we headed home. All seemed well for the first week, but on the 9th day we noticed he was having trouble breathing and was very lethargic. We called our vet & was told to bring him in immediately. Upon arriving at the vet, Mousse was assessed and given an x-ray. Within a few minutes, we were told that his diagnosis was congestive heart failure that he had had since birth & it was the largest heart the vet had ever seen. He was suffering and would need to be put to sleep. We are rational people and realize things happen that are outside of our control. However, the review of this breeder has nothing to do with anything I have just listed. It is 100% to do with what happened next. I contacted perfect paw pups by text . He texted back and said "with the paperwork from the vet, you can return him to us, and we still have Silver available". Later on, he said he was devasted but could sell us another one for an additional $800 that he had available or $600 additional for a pup of the next litter. Again, no apologies, no refund, just more $$$ for another puppy. We exchanged a few more messages & I sent the x-ray on to him to review. We exchanged a few more messages and planned a call after 5 pm. on 9/6, which he confirmed. I have never heard back. I am sharing this story because of the emotional toll it took on my family, especially my daughter. The absolute lack of empathy and customer service is appalling. We walked away from the $2500 for the simple reason that we wanted nothing more to do with them. Please, consider yourself warned.
