We recently purchased a Bernese puppy from Linda Wegen, what a great experience, Linda has been very helpful with all our questions both in person, text messages and nurmous phone calls , we never felt as though we were imposing as Lina graciously answered all our question. The facility is clean and well kept, the dogs are obviously loved and properly taken care of. All the approiate paper work was in order and well organized I highly recommend doing business with Windhaven Kennels and Linda. read more

Copy below of the exact email I sent to the breeder 6 days after taking our puppy home: I wanted to let you know that I feel very strongly that I need to do a yelp post and any other means I can, about your large operation. I wanted to let you know in advance so you aren't surprised. Had I know there was giardia (a very serious parasitic disease) at your facility I would not have taken the puppy. I'm fairly confident that you are aware of this issue at your facility. I feel I have put my family and my current pets at risk. I think it's only fair to let other people know, especially since in additional to the $2k he cost us, so far we have added another $1,600 in vet bills. We love Buddy but it is a financial hardship for us. It has also been very difficult emotionally on our kids and me. I fear there will be many more expenses trying to eradicate this parasite from our home and yard. Again, I wanted to let you know in advance in fairness. read more

I wish I would have seen these reviews before we purchased a dog from Windhaven Kennels (AKA Companionpuppies.com - Royal Hearts Corgis) We took our new puppy to the Vet within 24 hours of bringing him home and he tested positive for two different parasites (including Giardia). After researching what causes Giardia I'm not at all surprised after what I saw during my visit to Windhaven Kennels. Dozens and dozens of dogs in outdoor cages. Each cage filled with days worth of feces. Not to mention that most days in Hesperia it's up over 100 degrees. Very unhealthy, heartbreaking conditions. I'm shocked that anyone would pay to have their dogs kept here. I was told that the owners have over 40 dogs that they use for breeding purposes. They are also kept outside in these same horrible conditions. I honestly can't believe this place hasn't been shut down, especially since this parasite issue seems to have been a problem for many years. Giardia is not a common thing for puppies and is NOT caused by stress. It also highly contagious for other dogs and can be even be spread to humans. read more

Very Dishonest people to say the least. Our puppy came with all kind of health issues and parasites. When I contacted Linda Winger she told me that none of this was covered and basically blew me off. She has way to many dogs and is just in business for the money . It cost us over 1800.00 in vet bills just to get the puppy healthy on top of the 2,000.00 we paid for the puppy. Buyer BEWARE. read more

Windhaven kennels in Hesperia is where we adopted a 4 year old German shepherd who was so afraid of being beaten with a garden hose that she would cower low to the ground thinking she did something wrong! We did rescue her from that ugly situation at Windhaven. She finally learned to trust us that we were not going to beat her with the hose, but to fill her swimming pool and give her fresh water to drink. Sadly, at 4 years of age she had never been taught to fetch a tennis ball or to play with any toys. She was used for breeding purposes only. In the 2 weeks we had her she truly loved her freedom away from the fly infested cage. Her ears healed quickly from being eaten by the flies. One day she squeezed through our gate and I quickly notified the kennel as she had a chip. We put flyers out and the kennel put their number on it, they didn't want our number. She was found but now the kennel owner is refusing to give us our dog back! I am pursuing small claims court. Please be careful when dealing with the Windhaven Kennels! read more

I purchased a puppy from this breeder. Puppy came home with Giardia. Giardia is a parasite that infects the intestines of dogs and it has a 2 week incubation period. After having the puppy for 3 days, she presented with bloody diarrhea. I treated her at the vet right away and 2 weeks after that my other dog contracted Giardia. This breeder blamed the parasite on stress. That's a bunch of BULL! She came home with it from your dirty facility. Now I have had gross diarrhea for 3 weeks in my backyard. Thanks a bunch. read more

I have been using Windhaven for years for Kennel Services during my out of town traveling. I was always treated professionally and felt that my pets were treated very well. Pets understand mistreatment, and they are never hesitant to go back! Has always been a good experience. read more
