We were the last pick in the litter, which can feel discouraging, but Shelby was very reassuring and confident in her matching process, and she was right because we ended up with the perfect puppy for our home. Our puppy came home at 10 weeks healthy, confident, and well-adjusted, which made the transition very smooth. Shelby was organized, provided all health testing and paperwork, and has continued to be supportive as our puppy grows. We are very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her! We Might be back for a second Dog in the Future

Beware! They change their name often because they are so terrible with their customers. They are…read moreoverbreeding their dogs. They stop communicating with you after you place a deposit. They change the sires and you can wait years for a dog. Look up The Golden Mousse and Brubaker's Golden Retrievers. Wendy and Don Brubaker. Now they go by NorCal Golden Retrievers and sometimes BNorCal Golden Retrievers. They are terrible and I would never recommend them to anyone. Even if we get a puppy one day, I still feel scammed and the health status of the puppy will be very questionable. We originally put a deposit of $550 down and never heard from them. When I filed a claim with PayPal they flipped out on me and they said they had changed the Sire, but the dog had mated with both Sires so the Dam could have puppies with different dads. The litter was born on 11/12/20 and it was a litter of one male puppy. Now we will be moved to another dog because they are not going to breed the Dam anymore. The dog we will be moved to is planned to have THREE litters in 2021. Spend your money with a breeder who will deliver a healthy puppy on time and treat you like a valued customer.

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. Heather sure knows her stuff when it comes to breeding, and she has the best puppy trainers around. 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.

Five Stars! Daryl and Gwen from California Shih Tzu Pups are…read moretruly amazing people. We've gotten two puppies from them, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. Our first pup came home with us about three years ago--a male, purebred Shih Tzu with the best demeanor you could ask for. He's been a fantastic family dog and has brought us so much joy. This past November, right around Christmas, we welcomed our second puppy--a Havashu female--and she is beyond adorable. She has beautiful markings, an amazing temperament, and fits perfectly into our family. The two dogs get along wonderfully, which speaks volumes about the care and socialization they receive early on. Daryl and Gwen truly go above and beyond to make sure every person is happy with their puppy and that each pup is loved and cared for like a family member. You can feel how much love they pour into what they do--they are incredibly special people. If you're reading this and considering getting a puppy from them, give them a chance. You will be forever happy with the puppy you bring home Trisha & Nadia

After losing my sweet Sadie, I felt an emptiness in my home I didn't think could ever be filled…read more Then I found Taylor through Ragdoll Ranch, and what I brought home was more than a kitten. He was a blessing, a piece of light, and a living reminder that love continues. I've worked with breeders before, but never like this. Ashley and Lyle are not just breeders, they are family, and they raise their kittens like family. Ashley mothers these babies in a way you can see and feel: they are held, loved, and nurtured during those tender months when personality is formed. When I adopted Taylor at 6 months old, he came to me not just healthy and socialized, but with a sweetness that only comes from being raised with real heart. He checks every box you'd expect from a true Ragdoll: gentle, floppy, endlessly affectionate, the kind of cat who seems born to love. Some people misunderstand what it means for a Ragdoll to be "purebred." The truth is that Ragdolls were created in the 1960s by Ann Baker using a mix of breeds (Birman, Persian-like, Siamese-pointed cats, and a white domestic longhair named Josephine). That's the foundation of the breed. So when DNA tests today show traces of those breeds, that doesn't disprove anything, it actually confirms the breed's history. What makes a Ragdoll purebred is registration and lineage, and all of Ragdoll Ranch's kings and queens are TICA-registered Ragdolls. But beyond papers and pedigrees, what matters most is love. Ragdoll Ranch gave me not just a cat, but a companion whose personality reflects the kindness of the people who raised him. They were responsive, transparent, and professional; providing health records, care guidance, and even advice on local vets. Ashley has even cared for Taylor for me when I couldn't -- a gesture that says more than words ever could. This isn't just a business. It is a humane, heartfelt, beautiful enterprise; a reflection of beautiful people investing their lives in something of the heart. In a world that often feels hurried and transactional, Ashley and Lyle remind me that when something is raised with love, it shows. Taylor shows it every single day. To say I recommend this breeder would be an understatement. If you are looking for a Ragdoll raised with love and integrity, I implore you to reach out. Ashley and Lyle are not only the best in town -- they are among the best you'll find anywhere.

It's amazing she's 9 weeks old, and has had no problem transitioning to going to the bathroom outside when I take her (was originally litter box trained). She also has slept through both nights without whining or any accidents in her crate. We are having so much fun with her, but are also so impressed with the great breeding and care that Adrienne and her family provided to create such a wonderful dog. Working with Adrienne ahead of time was so easy, as she answered all my questions and kept me updated through the process. Upon getting Zoey, we got to see her play with her siblings, mom, and dad....the whole bichon family. The way Adrienne's kids cared for and said goodbye to the puppy was also testament of the treatment and love the dogs receive in their early stages. We are SO HAPPY we went through Adrienne for our newest family member! Thank you!!
