We got our vizsla puppy, Brody, from Rusty Dog Ranch in October. We had the best experience with…read moreJulie, Barbara, and Randy, who raise the puppies (along with their dog mama). They were so incredibly helpful with our decision to get another vizsla, and the selection of the right pup for us. They take impeccable care of the puppies and are so obviously passionate about everything vizsla. It's infectious! They are doing this out of love and only have a couple of litters a year. Which means, if you want one of their puppies, you have to act fast. It looks like they are taking deposits on the spring litter right now. I know from our experience that the puppies went really quickly and there is a good reason for this. I would recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a vizsla. Look no further. Brody is fabulous...in perfect condition and he has the best temperament. He's great with other dogs and all people, including kids. He is just a hearty, healthy guy who loves life. Seems all of their puppies have these same qualities which says a lot. Also, they run the Socal Vizsla Rescue organization at www.socalvizslarescue.org. Unfortunately (or fortunately) there are a lot more people willing to rescue than there are dogs available, but it is a great organization and it just speaks to the vizsla commitment by these ladies.

Where do I start? Rusty Dog Ranch, Julie and the rest of the family are top notch breeders. The…read morefirst time I met Julie I knew she was a kind hearted, loving dog owner and breeder. After sitting down with RDR, me and my wife knew instantly this was the breeder for us. Our dog Baron is the sweetest, well mannered puppy I could ever ask for and super smart, too smart in my opinion for his own good. RDR takes wonderful care of their doggies and are extremely passionate about the Vizsla breed. RDR has so many suggestions and ideas to help make the transition into dog owners so easy and helpful, always available with a text message for any concerns or questions you may have with your new pup! This isn't some run of the mill puppy factory, this is one of the most caring and loving families I've had the pleasure to meet. We couldn't' be more happier. Thank you RDR!

He follows me everywhere I go, when I take a shower he will wait at the shower till I finish. He will come to wake me up almost every morning(most of the time he comes willingly and sometimes my boyfriend drops him on the bed and he will start to step on you and gives you a little message) never causes any trouble, not I can remember, if there's any then it will be some little ones that you won't even remember. The best purchase we have ever made. Oh, and he is so smart, and well trained. When I changed the litter box to a littler robot(since it is looking so different), he literally understood and used it within 5 seconds. I am actually surprised!

They always answer questions and are responsive even after you have taken the kitty home! They truly care about the wellbeing of the cats and make sure to show you proof that they are healthy and have good genes. As for our boy, he's roughly a year old and about 10 pounds. He is leash trained, sleeps with us every day, follows you from room to room and greets at the door! He does have the kitten crazies from time to time but nothing a feather toy won't solve.

We adopted our dog in february this year. The first worker we were in contact with Melissa, was…read moresuper nice and had great energy and was honest and willing to answer all of our questions. The day of adoption comes to take our baby home and the vibe was nasty. We were met with another worker we never met and her attitude came across as judgey, dismissive, and overall just wanted to get it over with. Our dog was spayed that weekend we got her, and no pain medicine was provided for her. FYI they take the dogs to get spayed in Mexico where it cost a nickel and two dimes, and then turn around and hit you with a fat fee of $600 for the adoption, spay, microchip, and other stuff. We asked questions about the dogs health and mentioned that the other worker told us she has mild dental issues (not a problem at all) we just wanted to get maybe more insight on that. No completely dismissive and straight up lied to our face about our dog having any dental problems and claiming she's completely fine. Come to find in the paper work they provide you, it says she has dental disease. Following that my partner has never owned a pet before so they were just asking basic questions about what to know. She had a rude attitude for every reply and the energy was very off putting for a first dog adoption expirence. Following taking our dog home we find out she's extremely reactive towards other dogs, (totally fine) we email TBL about her reactivity just to see if she had any issues with other dogs when she was at the shelter. No response. that clearly paints the picture that they don't care about you or your dog. They have a long lengthy contract to sign that will completely cover their ass but would screw you over if anything happens. Very shady, we are staying away for our second dog.

This breeder has not bothered to check in with me in the past 3 months since I bought the kitten home. Has not even checked in to see if I have had her spayed or not. They don't seem to care about how their kittens have adjusted to their new life in their new homes. Terrible after service. I would not recommend this breeder.

Does not return deposits given up front for boarding. Refuses to finish paying for a horse Pepper…read moreCreek Equine Center partially bought, with the agreement from PCEC that facility would give remaining funds owed to seller, upon leaving premises, (06/28/2019,) and has used one of my horses for lessons without asking my permission prior to using said horse, which I never would have agreed to. In addition, Cheryl Pierce laughed as she told me she carried a whip to whip my mare in the neck to get her to walk through puddles during the rain, and had smacked my mare on the neck as my mare was afraid to go through puddles. Cheryl laughed as she told me this, and told me she would continue to carry said whip, anytime Cheryl Pierce would need to handle my mare in case she needed to whip my mare on the neck, again. Would be a stellar place if Cheryl Pierce were not involved, as she becomes verbally abusive (to me, and many other past boarders,) in any situation where she is confronted about being in the wrong. Edited to add: PCEC sent back a portion of the monies they owe me for my deposit. They still have NOT paid me back the money they owe me for the colt they bought named Shivar/Sivan. Have picture and video proof of the condition of the pen the day I sold the colt to Cheryl Pierce. I also have pictures and videos of the condition of PCEC prior to moving in, and the day I vacated the premises. Nowhere in any of these pictures is damage shown to the pen the colt lives in. PCEC added wood to the stall a month before I moved out of the facility. (Which I also have pictures of.) For a horse I have not owned for 6 mos, and a pen that did not need any repairments, I should not be fined for a new watering device, lumber, and 6.5 hours of labor.

I am posting about my negative experience with Cheryl Pierce of Pepper Creek Equine Center because…read moreI feel it is important for others to know what has happened during the past month. I moved my two horses to Pepper Creek on October 28th, but quickly realized the commute from work with traffic was just too much for me to handle daily. Since the contract I had signed required a 30-day written notice to vacate (in order to have the deposit refunded), I emailed and mailed my 30-day notice to Cheryl on November 5th. My friend, who had been a boarder there for a couple years, also gave her notice that day - we had both decided to find a place closer to our homes where our horses could all live together. On November 7th, I texted Cheryl and confirmed with her that she had received my notice. Less than 20 minutes later, all the boarders of Pepper Creek were informed that they will now be locking the gates at 8pm, so everyone needs to be off the property by then. This affected both my friend and I because we were the only two boarders there past 6pm every night. That same night my horses were out of water. When my friend had arrived, one of my horses was down. While my friend was filling the buckets, my other horse immediately started drinking. Later that evening, he had stopped eating hay and was also lying down. I was concerned about possible impaction colic due to dehydration, so at 7:45pm I called Cheryl. I was very surprised by how the conversation went because she told me that the horses were not out of water and that they had looked fine at the time of feeding. I was also told that I was not going to be able to stay past 8pm to make sure my down horse was alright. After some arguing, I was told that I could stay but that the gates would still be locked at 8pm and that I would need to text her what time I would need to be let out. I have never experienced a situation like this before, where I had to argue in order to be allowed to stay with my horse and assess what could have been a life-threatening situation. Moments later I encountered Cheryl at the office, where I was told that I had no reason to be in there, even though I was grabbing my friend's refrigerated Banamine. Then I was told that it did not belong in the refrigerator, despite that being where it had been located for months. I proceeded to give my horse the Banamine and left shortly after 8pm, hoping that my horse was going to be okay. The following day, November 8th, I received a 3-day eviction notice by email, stating that I had until 8pm on Sunday, November 11th to vacate the premises. My friend received the same eviction notice. It also stated that all refunds were going to be mailed. This is also the same day that several cameras were installed around the property. By Sunday, I had managed to find a place for my horses to temporarily be boarded. I moved out well before 8pm to avoid any further issues. Since then, I still have not received any refund. After my first email inquiring about when I would be receiving my $1143.33, which would be my $700 deposit and the remaining 19 days of November board, I was simply told that it had been "sent to the bookkeeper for processing." I received this response from her on November 15th. Since then, there has been no response from her after two more attempts. This has caused me great financial hardship. I haven't been able to pay bills, have no money for a vet or my deposit for the new barn, and had to move with no money for these unexpected moving expenses. Luckily, I was able to find someplace where I was allowed to pay my 3 weeks of board a week after moving in. This has also caused myself as well as my horses a lot of stress. Because my horses had to be moved again, so suddenly, to a temporary situation where they have been receiving completely different hay on a different feeding schedule, they both are now having loose stools. I have never left a barn on bad terms, and am truly shocked by what I have had to deal with this past month. I won't mention what my friend has had to deal with during all of this. I can only hope that I will be able to recover the money owed to me.
