I was timid and didn't ask any other questions. When I picked up my puppy, the momma dog was not there nor was Tweed. I was informed the litter was flown in.

My wife and I purchased an absolutely stunning chihuahua from Lauren about 9 months ago and we are…read moresooo happy we did. I have to admit, I was incredibly skeptical of buying a dog online .. food and useless consumer goods from amazon, no problem but a live animal left me feeling a bit weird... But Lauren made us feel safe and she's so kind, she immediately put our minds at ease. We must have sounded like complete basket cases and asked her a million ridiculous questions. She answered everything with professionalism and experience, and by the end of our 1000 question deposition, we felt like we had known her for years lol To be quite honest the process was so easy and we are beyond happy to have our new furry family member.. we're actually thinking of getting a sister to pair with our new baby pup. Anyways I hope this helps.. if you're on the fence, pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed. Lauren is honest and very fair and her pups are even more amazing in person. Thanks again Lauren

We just lost our chihuahua after almost 16 years of love and happiness. It has been very difficult…read moreand I've cried everyday since. We've contacted Lauren about a puppy for sale for $4750. She demanded a $500 deposit before even seeing the puppy and she wanted us to fill out an application with our personal information on it. I told her my concerns with respect to fraud and giving money up front when I don't have proof that the dog even exists. She told me she will provide references and I can look on a decade's worth of social media for proof. But we all know about cat-fishing and now AI. So, I asked if I could complete a background search on her first but she wouldn't even do that - she wanted a mutual exchange. I'm sorry but I'm not the one asking for money up front and if she really has nothing to hide then this wouldn't be that difficult. She was very aggressive about it and said that if she was fraudulent she would have an accent. Idk what this is but before you waste your time and heart you should be aware of this. Highly suspicious.

My husband & I adopted our Pomeranian from Cherie in March 2019 after a family friend adopted a…read morepuppy from her and we could not be happier with our little boy. He is everything we were looking for in a puppy: healthy, smart, sweet, playful, loving, and very happy. I am giving Cherie 4/5 stars due to the following: 1. She was not been the best communicator before we purchased our fur baby. Her website says that the best way to contact her is via text, but before securing our puppy, she would take a long time to answer our questions or simply not answer our text messages in the amount of time she said she would. Once our puppy was selected and paid for, Cherie answered all our questions and sent us pictures whenever we requested them. 2. We paid $1K and our puppy was projected to be 4-5lbs max, but he is already 6lbs at 4 months. My husband & I do not care about his size too much, so this did not bother us as much and we are not looking for a partial refund, but I could see why this would upset customers who were expecting a very small dog. We asked Cherie how much he weighed when we picked him up and she said "about 1lb." we weighed him when we got home and he was actually 2.4lbs at 8 weeks, so we knew he was not going to be 5lbs max. Obviously, there's always a risk when purchasing a living creature because there is no way to know %100 everything about their health, personality, etc. With that said, I do believe good business practices are important and I am sorry to read that others are not happy with their situations. Cherie probably needs to outline her policies in black/white regarding health guarantees and refund policies. I would still recommend her to friends/family because 90% of our experience has been amazing.

The Sphynx kitten we purchased from Ashley was 50% underweight and had corneal ulcers, skin rashes,…read morean upper respiratory infection, and a distended belly. She was delivered with no testing for important diseases or genetic traits. She was not given a proper veterinary examination. I found out who the original vet was (Ashley would not disclose) and called. They indicated Ashley's animals are always like this (she also breeds dogs). Ashley has complaints against her with Humboldt County Animal Control for unethical breeding practices and in our opinion deserves them. Ashley's business associate / flight nanny flies standby and had our 8 week old kitten in transit for over 15 hours. We ended up having to buy him a confirmed ticket so that he didn't take her to a different city and spend another night in a hotel against her. We knew none of this at the outset. Ashley was entirely disinterested throughout the transport process. She also transferred the kittens to the flight nanny in a parking lot, which is not legal in the state of California and is dangerous to the kittens. To top it off, her prices are off-market and she uses aggressive tactics to over-inflate the rarity of what she has to offer. Please don't make the same mistake we did. Happy to chat if you have questions.
