We got a French Bulldog from Marty six years back. He couldn't be any more amazing. The delivery was amazing and the puppy was perfect. He is 6 years old now and has been very healthy from the day we got him. Typical Frenchie allergy issues due to his food but we've since figured out how to eliminate them. Since he is "perfection", we decided to get a second Frenchie from Marty. He too is perfect. He is 3 years old now and also very healthy. I have recommended Marty to several people who have also received puppies from Marty (not Frenchies) and are in love with their healthy poochies. I will continue to recommend Marty to all that revel over my two boys (who happen to be uncle and nephew). They both came to us well behaved and remain as such today. They were well socialized which is a super important criteria when looking for a breeder. Thanks Marty. Your expertise in breeding puppies has given us so much joy over the last 6 years. read more

SacRiver Kennels - Frenchton - Pet Breeders Near Me - Ash Grove, Missouri

We bought a Frenchton puppy from Sac River in 2016. While we love our pup so very much, we have also been severely disappointed with the number of health problems he has had, many that are due to breeding and conditions that he was living in before being sent to us. These include:  1. Giardia  2. Severe allergies and skin problems  3. Cataracts  We battled with his giardia for 7 whole months after we got him, a parasite that is a direct result of consuming dirty water. I reached out to Sac River about this problem right away, to which they responded that we should have given him the mystery pills they taped to his kennel to treat "stress related stomach problems". I cannot even count on 2 hands the number of times we went to the vet in the first year of his life.  A few months after we got him, his skin also started breaking out in to crazy rashes. We have since been battling with his itching, rashes, and overall skin problems to no avail thus far. We feel horrible for him every day that he is living in skin that has been crawling and itching eery day for the last two years. Switching to grain free food has done no good, pills have done no good, and we cannot get to the bottom of these mystery skin issues.  Finally, in the last few weeks we have noticed, and today he was officially diagnosed with, a cataract. This is believed to be genetic, and is the final straw that is bringing me to write this review today. He is only two and a half years old and, because of Sac River's lack of care for the health of their puppies, will be severely vision impaired by the time he is a young 3 years old.  We would not trade our pup for the world, but I would suggest to any prospective dog owner to please go elsewhere, to a breeder that has proof of safe and responsible breeding practices, because Sac River is irresponsibly breeding dogs in an environment that is only doing harm to their puppies. read more

We bought our shih tzu puppy from Marty. When we got her she had a severe double ear infection AND ear mites. Not a great experience.

We bought a Boston Terrier puppy from SRK in 2006 and while he had perhaps one of the best personalities ever, he suffered a lot of genetic health problems due to poor breeding. Through the course of his life, he had a severe case of giardia, multiple lipomas, mast cell tumors, and eventually died from a liver tumor. The worst past was that he suffered allergies to protein and had to be put on a special hydrolyzed soy diet for his entire life. No dog deserves that kind of life, though we tried to give him the best life possible. I would not recommend buying from this breeder. read more
