I started researching dogs for our family 6 months ago. The more I researched the more I fell in…read morelove with the Soft Coated Wheaten breed. Then I learned about the Wheaten + Poodle mix which seemed to be exactly what we wanted. I did some Googling and came across Tammi and Bryan. It was the first phone call that I made. Tammi was beyond friendly and provided a wealth of knowledge. Unfortunately, we weren't quite ready to get her last pup of that litter. Her lengthy conversation set me on an educated path for continuing my research. I spent the next several months talking to many breeders all over the country. We came close to buying from another breeder, but something in my gut knew to go back to Tammi. So I called Tammi and it became obvious that she was the breeder for us. Here's why: 1. She answered every phone call and email within minutes. That's what you want from a trusted breeder. 2. My son has dog allergies and I had a bazillion questions. Tammi shared her knowledge with me in many phone conversations and emails. Lots of her previous clients have allergies. 3. Tammi brilliantly set up a private Facebook group for all of her Puppy Parents. The knowledge and expertise within this group is beyond any price tag. I had a lot of questions answered by this group and honestly, they are the reason we didn't give up the dream of getting a family dog. We were even able to setup a few doggy play dates through this group with my son so we could see if he would have any reactions to the Whoodle. 4. Tammi and Bryan are family breeders. They actually LOVE their dogs as they would their children. They are the opposite of a puppy mill - and trust me in my research I found at least 3 puppy mills. 5. Nutrition is important to me and I LOVE that Tammi knows her stuff. She feeds her dog and pups real food. 6. The environment the pups are raised in is EXACTLY what you want: a loving, clean home and bred from friendly/smart parents with great tempermants 7. Tammi posts many videos and photos along the way so you get a real sense of how your baby is growing 8. I appreciate the way puppy picking day is handled. You get on their list and then to go pick out your pup in person. 9. Tammi doesn't ship. I know lots of breeders do ship their pups, but Tammi is protective and knows shipping has risk. 10. Now that we have had our sweet boy for a week, I can tell you how comforting it is to be able to ask Tammi any questions that come up. And having the other new puppy parents to be right there with you is so valuable. Our whole family is beyond grateful for all of Tammi and Bryan's work. They raise truly amazing dogs and I recommend them as highly as I can!

Tammi and Bryan Thompson EPIC CON ARTIST!…read more If I could have put zero stars I would. Google Tammi and Bryan Thompson. They have switched dog businesses many times and now have a NONPROFIT for Veterans called Shaw's Veterans Ranch or H.M. Shaw's Transition Facility. I am writing the review here because 1)Their nonprofit is not listed on yelp 2)Their Dog business now named ;Igy6 (Whoodle.world) is connected to the nonprofit & 3) I put a review on their Facebook which they immediately disabled to ensure it wouldn't be seen. I am a retired, disabled veteran and have many accolades and experience in management and social work. I love working for nonprofits and have always given back. I volunteered at their nonprofit for 8 months full time after quitting a paying job on the pretense that I would be helping Veterans and she (Tammi) would one day put in grants to get the team (and me) paid a salary. Tammi asked me to be the face of the ranch because I was a veteran and loved speaking, she asked me to be her assistant executive director, and on the board of directors. I agreed, because I believed in the mission to help my fellow brothers and sisters. Now during this time, I informed this CEO (Tammi) and her husband Bryan (Secretary and CEO) that it was vital to have the executive leadership conduct training and be on the same page. To have meetings, go over financials etc.... pretty simple stuff right?!? I even paid out of pocket for training, and multiple things because to me it was extremely IMPORTANT. Along the first few months, Tammi mentioned multiple times that she was taking classes to stay in compliance with the 501(c)3 (I have this in texts) as well as paying 501 fees (also in texts). Now I didn't know any better but assumed she was handling the business side... while I networked... raised A LOT of money... promoted the business, did research, gathered sponsors, gathered donations, went and spoke to clients, did case management, coordinated care (list goes on). Later I found out 501(c)3's do not have ongoing fees and/or courses to stay in compliance (just one of the many lies). After a large fundraiser and many times of pushing the CEO (Tammi) for vital business information, and where the money went... I got kickback. I also got slowly pushed out of the office and told to stay home. I also was not told of what was going on with plans. The lying, and red flags kept stacking. Fast forward to today. Why am I writing this? Because I was never shown financials, never included like a BOD should be and when asked about these items... she told me I had no right, it was her nonprofit and not mine. Where did $11k go?! Nothing of importance was accomplished for the mission?! She bought some paint for a wall, food for volunteers, some fruit trees, and a few tools for the greenhouse. But that is not $11k. I never saw anything bought specifically for veterans, or the mission.... only donations & items were bought for their Ranch (where veterans cannot get to) and for her own home because she lives on the Ranch itself. I never saw one dog from her ;Igy6 business go to a veteran (which she states 1 out of each litter will go). Not ONE in 8 months!!! Now she could prove me wrong, show the financials and manage the business properly but instead she threw a fit... and acted shady. Then when I posted the review on her Facebook, same thing. (See pictures) She immediately shuts down the Facebook page. Is this why she has so many dog business pages?!? I don't recommend ever giving these people money... because what I saw in 8 months was that the 11k PLUS AND what they make on dogs ($1,200 to $2,500 per dog) goes to their home, maybe a new RV, random organic food for the dogs/chickens, misters for the dogs & chickens, an awning for the dogs, decorating their yard, 3 dog runs, eating out daily, and who knows what else. Could I be wrong? Absolutely... but there are a lot of holes. Too many to put here. Unless I'm missing something, which I hope I am.... there are some serious disconnects. I would challenge you to ask for their financials before donating a dime to their nonprofit or buying a dog from them!! Challenge them... make them earn it. Because from what I've seen, ANYONE who challenges them... gets blocked, and dropped at a dime. Tooooo shady!
