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!

Such a positive experience! I texted Greta and asked if I could come visit and Greta was more than…read morehappy to have me come visit. Another local breeder said no visits (very odd and suspicious!) and so we were of course very happy Greta said yes. Walking in, the home was clean, quiet and calm. We were able to see the younger and older kittens. The kitten rooms were clean and very calm. They were all very cute, clean, and healthy looking. The kittens were playful and clearly well socialized as they did not shy away from us at all. They even snuggled, which was another good sign the cats have lots of attention. Greta gave us bottles to feed the little sweeties. We came back for a second visit and stay for nearly an hour. We picked out a kitten after playing and snuggling with all the available kittens. It was hard to choose just one! We picked up a week later when he was old enough and Greta had a beautiful bag of goodies waiting for us to go home with our new kitty. Our sweetie warmed up to us the first night! We are still taking it slow so he can acclimate to his new surroundings, but I was really surprised he was able to get comfortable so quickly. We were really impressed by Greta's professionalism, kindness, and knowledge. These kitties are worth the premium paid (and still very reasonable compared to other breeders!). If you're looking for a ragdoll, I highly recommend Day Spring. Greta takes the care of these cats seriously and it shows.

I have a Lucca Paige pup now 4+ years old and he has never had ANY health concerns of any kind. His…read morehips are rated OFA excellent, he is an ASCA champion, has 2 legs in Rally obedience placing first and second, easily completed his CGC, and is an excellent example of the breed. You'll never find a dog with better temperament than mine. Truly the all around best dog I've ever owned. That being said, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience but that can happen to any dog for a number of reasons. Trilogy is extremely careful to do all health screenings before sending puppies to their forever homes and it's extremely unfair of you to post a review that "warns" other people not to buy a puppy from them. As you mentioned, they retired the dam of the litter. I can only add that Trilogy does everything they can to produce lovely dogs that excel in conformation and obedience and live long healthy lives.

I would have given ZERO stars, but Yelp makes you pick at least one star.

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!

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!

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.
