Since my last review, Alaska has not provided any further documentation or at the very least…read morediagnosis (I'm a medical doctor so I'm fairly confident I can read a report). How would you feel if your doctor didn't explain or even mention a heart problem to you because "I don't want to stress you out." Your value is the knowledge... we are adopting 8 week old puppies and we can't keep our heads in the sand if there's a problem. Please see in the text I posted that she knew of this issue before re-homing but did not want to disclose to not "freak out" the adopters. Knowledge is power; don't give anyone the right to take that away otherwise we'll have WALL-E for president 2028. If needed, we can do further investigation with our own vet to set our pup on the right foot forward the second they enter our home, but there should be a baseline standard of healthiness. Aside from the heart problems, there are skin discolorations. In the photo, you will see a pic of my pup Kygo with porphyrin staining on the sides of his bottom lips (maybe). You'll also get to see the staining on his anterior coat. I am trying to attach a text thread with another friend who bought from Alaska who saw the smoke before I saw the fire... But I'm not sure Yelp is able to have this much media uploaded... Again, no health records have been sent to me and I'm due for my next veterinarian visit next week. Sigh... What also blows my mind is that Kygo was approx the same age as Snowy/Buddy/whatever it was when they gave him up for gratis due to their perceived inability for him to be a responsible stud. That should say something. Alaska is breeding pups wayyyy too early; literally while they are still pups. Also my pup, his brother, and his dad (the stud) all get pretty bad carsickness. Coincidence? I just want the health records so the whole process with my vet and with all other persons who bought from the Dulce Vida + Snowy/Buddy/wanna-be-airbud Airbud can have a better idea on what needs to done for monitoring for the new member in their family. Apologies for my perceived disrespect. I really do respect what Alasia and her family does. It's not easy. But I tend to take issue when shortcuts over animal wellbeing are taken in the name of profit. Regards, Anand

Could not recommend Day Spring Ragdolls more highly--Greta is an exceptional breeder and an even…read moremore exceptional human being! This review is long overdue, in part because I wanted to give it the care and attention it deserved. Greta is not only an exceptional breeder, but an exceptional human being. I came to her during one of the hardest periods of my life, after my dearest companion passed away unexpectedly because of a mistake at the vet. From the very beginning, Greta showed extraordinary empathy, kindness, and patience, without ever making us feel pressured or assuming we would necessarily move forward with her. She took real time to talk with me about what I was going through, handled our situation with so much sensitivity, and offered us the opportunity to experience her cat retreat so we could simply spend time with kittens without the pressure of immediately bringing another cat home. We already had two cats, and I was hoping to eventually find a companion for the one who remained, but Greta understood that grief does not move on a schedule. The cat retreat itself was wonderful, and it was there that we met Willow. Greta had actually held that litter for us because she knew we were especially interested, and she believed Willow was the kitten who best matched what we were looking for: cuddly, sweet, and deeply affectionate. She was absolutely right. Willow chose us, and we could not be happier. Willow is healthy, incredibly sweet, and wonderfully cuddly. Since bringing her home, we have not had a single health issue or even a single bout of diarrhea, which, frankly, is not something I can say about our other two Ragdolls. It is very clear that Greta runs her cattery with immense love, care, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness. What touched me just as much was who Greta was throughout the process before we had even decided whether to move forward. She would send me kitten videos simply to make me smile during a very dark time. She kept me in her prayers. She showed up with genuine compassion and generosity when she did not have to, and I will never forget that. I am deeply thankful not only to have gotten Willow from Greta, but to have met Greta as a person. She was a source of kindness and support during one of the most painful times in my life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I've always wanted a cat and I finally decided it was the right time. Since I have a preschool aged…read morechild, I wanted a calm and gentle breed, which led me to ragdolls and Day Spring Ragdolls. Greta is amazing and wonderful to work with. I am so happy with our new kitten and I wanted to share an update. Our kitten has been home just a couple of days and he already feels like part of the family. He's sweet, mellow, and loves belly rubs. Plus, he came home so clean, soft, and smelling good. You can really tell Greta loves and adores these cats. We are so happy with our little guy. Thank you

Absolutely exceptional breeder!…read more I got my second Mini Aussie from LLA about 3 years ago and am about to get another - absolutely can't recommend them enough. In an industry where there are a lot of poor breeding practices, especially with what has become a popular breed, it becomes so important to make sure you have a really reputable breeder. LLA's professionalism, genuine love for their dogs, and commitment to responsible breeding are exceptional. Having owned Mini Aussies now for 18 years, I'm super picky about where I get my dogs! They really put the welfare of their puppies above all else when selecting adopters and I love that they don't dock their dog's tails as well as provide Volhard testing results so you can really match the right drive dog for your family and lifestyle. To sum up, I highly recommend Lucky Little Aussies for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated Toy/Mini Aussie breeder.

ATTENTION! Do not get a Corg-potato from Amy!…read moreDo not be fooled by her wonderful smile, her obvious love for Corgis, her amazing family (kids, hubby & Corgs)! Do not believe the lies Amy will tell you about her meticulous attention to knowing, understanding and being highly selective to the lineage of all her breeding pairs. Do not think for a minute there is any truth to the things Amy will tell you about how she screens for so many different traits, conditions and genetic anomalies that can occur. She will even throw out random acronyms such as "DM", "EIC" and "VWD1" in hopes to confuse you. She will go on and on about how she follows best-known weaning and whelping practices. Amy will talk of giving the pups (and new owners) outstanding pre and post care. Amy will even go so far as to lie about how all her pups get vet checks at all the right times and show you all the resources she has on "speed dial". She has even set up a fake breeding house, complete with very expensive critical-care resources such as an incubator, oxygen generator and other resources that may be required to ensure that the pups and mother get the best care, if needed. Amy will tell you obviously fabricated stories of how she has spent days and nights camped out in the "fictitious breeding house" when her pups are due. DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT! AMY IS A SCAMMER! Amy will lure you in with pics of the cutest potato's you have ever seen. Amy will encourage you to you visit and snuggle with the litter in the weeks before she suckers you in. Then, on the day you go to pick up your Corgi, Amy, with all her sinister motivations, will at some point say in a quiet voice "You know, one Corgi is great, but two Corgi's are the best! And I think I will have another potato-patch soon." We have fallen for this scam not once, but twice! Felix (Finn & Drew) and Winston (Finn & Lulu) have ruined our lives. Judgmental side-eyes, zoom-zooms at the most inopportune times, Corgi-glitter (fur) everywhere, splooting in the most trafficked areas of the house and ALWAYS watching when one is in the kitchen. If you have failed to see the sarcasm above, hear this: Amy & Company are the best! My daughter did her homework and sought out the best breeder within a much too large radius. She landed on Amy, who at the time lived in Pasa Robles, CA. Amy had and has so many positive referrals Amy is highly educated (Cal Poly - Animal Science), very knowledgeable (10+ years as a breeder) and very well-learned in canine genetics with a strong focus on Corgis. Amy is highly selective and amazingly attentive to all her litters, pups, sires, madams and pack-mates. Amy has a wonderful personality, demeanor and openness that she has always shown to us, and I am sure she shows or will show to every customer. Felix was our first Corgi. At the time, Amy's "potato farm" was a four-hour drive from our house (Sacramento). Both ways! And of course we had to go visit, but not get to keep, the "potato-to-be-Felix" at that time. That would require a second four-hour drive (both ways!) a few weeks later! Best drives ever! If you are reading this and you are wondering if Amy and her crew are the right place to find your future splooter, STOP! You have arrived! ~Tony Marshall Fair Oaks, California P.S. Amy, THANK YOU!

She surpassed all my expectations and I'm so happy and blessed to have been able to bring home one of her puppies, my sweet Asher, who will soon be six months old. I found Christensen Cavaliers on the AKC website, and when I saw Jenica's pictures and videos on her breeder Facebook page, I just knew she was the perfect choice. My instincts were right. We had a nice phone call, and she patiently answered all my questions. (Boy, did I have a lot of questions!) She loves her puppies so much and is very knowledgeable. The puppies' parents are healthy and kind natured. (I met Asher's mom when we picked him up, and she is so sweet!) Jenica goes above and beyond with her puppies. She does something called ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) with them. Look it up if you get a chance. It's so good for their development! She has the sweetest family with children who play with and love on the puppies, so the pups develop such a sweet nature. She even sent me pictures and videos of my puppy in the first eight weeks. My heart was so happy when she sent the videos of her son playing in the yard with him, and I especially loved the one she sent of her son dancing with Asher! These puppies are loved from the very first day they are born. She has a beautiful, clean home with a huge yard for the puppies to play in. I was so happy to see that, knowing he was safe and happy from day one. She also socializes them to sounds, baths, people, and even car rides so that they will be an all-around wonderful puppy! We continued with socialization when we brought our sweet little boy home. Our little Asher is now six months old. He loves everyone, men and women, and he gets so excited to play with children. He also loves all dogs and wants to play with all of them, regardless of size. He rarely ever barks except for the occasional "bark of joy" when he gets super excited in a big play session with his favorite toy. He is so smart and learns commands and tricks so quickly. Everything that Jenica did to raise Asher in those first eight weeks set him up for success. She kept in touch with me even after we took Asher home and continues to answer questions. She is amazing. She cares so much for her puppies even after they leave her home. I have really, really high standards, so trust me when I say that it takes a lot to impress me. I respect her and love her, and I highly recommend her to everyone who asks about puppies. If you are lucky enough to be able to bring one of her puppies home, you will be so blessed! She is the best!

I was more than happy to take that help. Lees' is HUGH! And I mean that in a very good way. Off the bat I noticed how clean and really organized all the inventory is. And so well lit as you can see from my photos. All I needed was bird seed. I buy it in big bags because my birds are like turkeys. They gobble it up. Neighbors had told me about Lees' and said they carried quality animal products and the prices were reasonable. After perusing lottsa bird feed choices... I chose one I wanted to try. A mixture of sunflower chips and nyjer. I have not seen it sold anywhere else... btw. Finches LOVE this stuff. Early Christmas for my birdies!:). I so wanted to take some time and wander around this incredible store. It was like Disneyland for animals. But I had another commitment. Darn! I understand this is a long-time family owned business. Father now to son owner. And one customer told me as I was in line to pay that everyone in El Dorado County comes to Lees' for their animal/pet needs! They sell Western Wear! Yee-ha! You have to be grateful for a family venture such as Lees'. Such a community resource. Easy parking and who knew... a smaller, newer version of Lees' located in El Dorado Hills I will be back. I saw all sorts of possibilities for holiday gifts for my lovely animal-loving friends. Only the best for them! Take a drive up the hill and see for yourself. Open 7 days a week. AHHMAZING!

I grew up with two Golden Retrievers from a breeder in the UK. When I compare my experiences with them to my experiences with Beary, I can say that I have had a much easier time with Beary.

Beary already knew many of the basic commands when he arrived and was trained to go to the bathroom in a litter box. Beary is sweet-natured and funny. Playing fetch with him is more entertaining than watching TV. He has no health issues, is very intelligent, and he's always good but perhaps sometimes just a little mischievous! He learns quickly and is very well-behaved. He's also extremely beautiful, loves to cuddle, and is very caring. There's nothing more I could have asked for. Thank you, Heather, for all you do. My life is much happier with Beary in it.
