My golden retriever named Dobie is the light of my life and my best friend. He's almost 2 years old…read morenow and I love him to pieces he is so well-mannered and well-tempered but even more important just a loveable goofball. He loves his humans so much and is such a cuddle bug. Everyday when I come home from work he runs up to me and sits on my lap. He's a big handsome boy as well, he's always soaking up compliments. When we got him we worried about how he'd treat his old man brother Reggie who is 11 and a small dog. (Worried he'd try to play too rough) But he listened to Reggie's body language and quickly learned that he was to be Gentle with his older brother and adapted a play style of kissing and cuddling Reggie. I love Dobie so much he's a healthy, big, handsome, goofball with a great temperament but also so much personality. When we got Dobie, working with Dylan was also very great. Communication was easy and he was able to answer all of our questions and any concerns. I could tell he cared and loved the pups and wanted them to go to a safe, loving home.

Our home was so lonely and too quiet, we were in need of a sweet puppy to love (our 5 year old Alaskan Malamute included). Our daughter, who's a Veterinary Technician, was contacted by them. They found the perfect match for us. We fell in love immediately with her and she's brought our home back to life again . The people at Pacheco kennels are so helpful and kind, they keep in touch with us to make sure everything is going well. Their kennels are immaculate!

We adopted one the females Pacheco used for breeding and she has never been inside a house. She can't walk, bark, and she doesn't know her name. She smelled so bad I'm certain she she was never bathed. She has zero muscle tone and her stomach drags o. The ground. She was used as a machine and then tossed when she wasn't useful I personally would never go to a breeder for an animal, but there are breeders out there. They do not treat their dogs like rubbish. This girl is a mess and she'll never understand what it is to be loved.

Lily is the love of our family's lives and she has gotten us through some very difficult times. She is beautiful beyond compare, loving, empathic, smart, fun, intelligent and very friendly. She loves all people and animals. She loves her family best but she loves everyone in the neighborhood and they greet her enthusiastically by name when they see her. She visits the local Pharmacy Store and Lottery store and everyone loves her and she showers them with affection, tails waging, and great amounts of kisses. Lily is our greatest love. We call her our ambassador of joy. Lily is our heart, our love, and our joy and we cannot thank Kendra enough. She was the person that made sure Lily was healthy, microchiped, and very much loved.

We contacted Kendra at TotallyTailz after losing our beloved 15 year old dachshund. We discovered…read morethat most breeders in New England had long waiting lists, but one of them recommended we contact Kendra and we feel so lucky to have found her. She responded very quickly, answered all our questions, had lots of information about the breed, was able to setup a totally safe space for our family to meet the pups and the mom, and was just overall fantastic to deal with. And of course, most importantly, we got a beautiful little male dachshund that has been a perfect fit in our home. He is healthy, well adjusted, great with children, and a great example of the breed. Kendra and her dachshund, Mummas, make absolutely beautiful little puppies. Even after taking our little guy home she has been very helpful providing information our vet asked for and was excited to see pics of how he's grown. She is a true dachshund lover. We feel very very lucky to have found Kendra and TotallyTailz and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, beautiful dachshund puppy!

"Rosie" is our 3rd lab and though I thought it would be impossible, she has surpassed the previous two. She is the most loving, playful and smart dog that we've ever had. She immediately endears herself to everyone (human and canine or feline) that she meets. Scott and Harmony are true professionals in what they do and their process for adoption is bulletproof. They are never too busy to answer questions (when needed) and are so communicative. We have shared pictures and videos with them since the day we brought Rosie home and we feel that they are extended "family" for Rosie and us. As our previous 2 Labs were "rescue" dogs, this was our first / only experience with Breeders and we hit the jackpot when we met Harmony and Scott. We are extremely grateful for everything that they have done for us! Tom & Terri M., Braintree, MA

The whole process was more than enjoyable, as we really felt part of the mother's (Sophie's) pregnancy with frequent updates. After that litter of pups was born, they were very communicative to all of the families who were slated to be the future homes for those pups. Once the pups had received their immunizations, we were able to visit them--wonderful! Sue and Roland were more than welcoming, and we really felt like part of their extended "dog family"--you can immediately sense the love of their own animals, and that trickled down to the adorable litter that their dog, Sophie, had delivered. They are very open to questions, and are transparent with information about health, care, etc. We are excited to hopefully get another Golden from them whenever the next litter arrives! Our whole family recommends Rocking O... such kind and caring breeders!

We're so grateful to have found her!

We cannot recommend Willette Ragdol in Massachusetts enough!…read more We brought home our first Ragdoll, Jetty, from Bette and immediately fell in love. He is the sweetest, most loyal and affectionate boy -- confident, gentle, and clearly raised with incredible care and love. His temperament alone speaks volumes about Bette's breeding program. We loved him so much that a year later we welcomed our sweet girl, Jovie, into our family. She is just as well-adjusted, loving, and beautiful. It's evident that Bette not only understands breeding, but truly understands family and the importance of raising kittens in a nurturing, intentional environment. What truly sets Willette Ragdol apart is Bette's continued support. She is always available for advice, encouragement, enrichment ideas, and keeps her families informed about health updates, product recalls, and important veterinary information. Her commitment to her "kids" lasts a lifetime. If you are looking for a Ragdoll breeder in New England who leads with knowledge, integrity, and heart, Willette Ragdol is exceptional. We are so grateful for Jetty and Jovie -- they have brought endless love into our home.

It's with a mixed set of emotions to leave a review like this because of the good: we have a…read morewonderful dog who really fit our family perfectly and had no serious issues. However, our experience (we bought a puppy in June 2015) really did leave a lot to be desired. We were impressed with the training Kerry does for puppies, which is pretty unheard of - most breeders don't train puppies very much if at all. This sealed the deal for us to buy from her. The strange logistics of arranging an appointment did not scare us away. We brought home a happy puppy, but the trouble began merely a couple of days later, when our dog was visibly sick. We ended up taking her to the vet-ER shortly thereafter and it turned out she had developed pneumonia and came to us sick per the evaluation of both our vet and the doctors at Tufts. She had to stay overnight and be heavily medicated but she pulled through. In all of this, we spent over $1K+ on medical bills, after paying the high-end breeder price that Cove Angels charges just days before. Meanwhile we were able to get in contact with Kerry only once, at the onset of the situation, where Kerry only wanted to know if the dog's life was in danger - we said it appeared not. Beyond that, and not for a lack of effort (email, phone, voicemails, text), we couldn't any response. We were expecting to discuss these unexpected medical bills from a dog that came to us sick but there was no answer on the side. Reading what other people's experience was below, it does suggest a pattern of issues of some kind, which I'm not intending to suggest involves fraudulent intent in any way - it sounds more like poor execution and/or a lack of knowledge around the things you'd expect from someone people pay thousands of dollars to for 'designer' dogs. What I can say though is that her accountability is a problem and it appears that her warranty is all walk, with no talk - and we didn't have the time and resources to invest in legal avenues to get help in that regard but it really shouldn't require that. In the end, what you pay for in a breeder is a reliable capability to select dogs who have desirable traits and take care of them in the process as well as be responsible for the consequences of those traits being as promised - in this case, this capability appears to be inconsistent at best and the responsibility part is not up to par either. To me, this adds up to 2 stars.
