My response is regarding Kathleen's review.
Kathleen stated that the breeder is "kind in the beginning to try to get you to buy a dog." However, she contacted him first. He did not solicit her business. He treats everyone with kindness and respect and works hard to provide a positive experience for his customers.
His prices are reasonable because he believes quality dogs should be accessible to more families. His adult dogs have access to shade, fresh water, food, and shelter. They are well cared for and are allowed time each day to exercise freely in a secure fenced area. They also receive regular walks and socialization.
He is passionate about his dogs and invests significant time in their care, training, and development, both individually and in group settings. Breeding and raising dogs is not simply a job to him--it is a lifestyle and a commitment.
The dogs are healthy and well maintained. Kathleen was provided with the documentation she requested. Additionally, the sales contract clearly states that buyers have 48 hours to provide documentation from a licensed veterinarian showing any life-threatening hereditary, congenital, or major health condition in order to qualify for a full refund or replacement. No such documentation was provided.
Kathleen also mentioned wanting a brown Doberman. She was informed that the red Doberman she preferred had already been reserved by another buyer prior to her inquiry.
The puppies remain with their mother and littermates until they go home with their new families. This helps reduce unnecessary stress and supports healthy development. Puppies are only released when they are eating solid food and drinking water independently.
For the health and safety of newborn litters, visitors are not permitted direct access to puppies immediately after birth. This policy helps prevent the spread of illnesses such as parvovirus and reduces stress on the mother. A camera system is available so families can view the puppies remotely.
The puppy Kathleen received was clean and healthy at pickup. A puppy pad was provided as a courtesy for the trip home. Photos taken that day accurately reflected the condition of the puppy and the experience. No one was pressured into completing a purchase, and buyers are free to walk away if they are not comfortable with the transaction.
Finally, Kathleen did not purchase breeding rights and indicated that she planned to have the dog neutered, making her concerns about a surgery
difficult to understand.
This kennel has built a strong reputation through dedication, transparency, and care for its dogs. The focus has always been on producing healthy, well-socialized puppies and ensuring they are placed in loving homes.
We wish Kathleen and her puppy all the best. read more
