We bought our little girl Faith (Biddy) from Dandy dogs. She is literally the best dog we have ever had. She slept like a baby in her kennel since the first night and is amazing with our other dog and two children. She has the best temperament we have ever seen and is such a sweetheart. I will only ever get my future doxie puppies from dandy dogs as they are literally the best most cared for dogs ever. Absolutely recommend!!! read more

I have waited 6 weeks to post this review. This is the short version! I bought a 15 week old toy Aussie that was terribly ill. I wanted an older puppy thinking it would be easier as i am in my late 60s. He had a severe giardia infestation causing severe diarrhea. Bloody, mucous, liquid mess. His coat was extremely dry and itchy due to malnutrition from the infection. He also had an eye infection, and a bladder infection. As well he was approx 1 lb underweight, at under 5 lbs. I contacted Kimberly and her response was that they "used to send the meds home for giardia with the puppies but the state of Colorado doesn't let them anymore. She should have told me she had a giardia problem in her puppies. 6 weeks later, cleaning diarrhea and urine 15-20 times a day,up thru the night 4-6 times for the first month, and over 400$ in vet bills , this little guy is on his 4 th medication to heal his gut and bladder and has another 2 weeks of meds to go. He has gained 3 lbs in 5 weeks. For a dog that will max out at approximately 12 lbs that is another marker of how poorly looked after he was and the problems with this situation. They are apparently socialized and exposed to things like a vacuum cleaner etc. He is terrified of the vacuum, among other things. This is not a caring "breeder" in my opinion. She has approx 10-15 pairs of dogs (2breeds) and at any given time up to 40-70 puppies. Just look at the website to see this. I love this little guy, and wouldn't give him up for anything. We both have suffered thru this, especially him being so ill for so long. It ticks me off that the care given to these little creatures is so poor. The prices they charge should be used to take care of these puppies. Enough said. read more

I have been reading these reveiws and tearing up. we too got a Toy Aussie from Kimberly. I love Sadie but she came with an eye infection, giardia, afraid of everything d , we have had her 4 months now, I am the only one she will come to, my husband still can't pick her up because she is terrified of him, and he has never given her a reason to be fearful of him. I contacted the Dept of Ag in Colorado, I gave them info, not sure if they did anything. if there is anyone else here that could make a call to them, maybe something could be done.. I don't have the number right now, but google Dept of agriculture, Colorado. if they hear from more than one person something might be done. thank you! read more

We bought 2 "toy" Australian Shepherds, brother & sister. They both had worms, giardia, & other health problems. We have put our way more money treating their health problems than what they cost. I love both of my puppies & would never part from them but if this was a reputable breeder then they should not have been so sick! Our little boy did not like to be touched & was terrified of men, but with patience & love he has started jumping onto our lap to cuddle. He is now friendly towards people but it has taken a lot of effort, he still doesn't like to be touched at times. Our little girl is terrified of men & is just now starting to cuddle & show affection to us. They are 10 months old now & seems to be getting to a point where they are comfortable with us. We have spent a lot of money on training for them but there are still social issues. Our puppies are supposed to be Toy but seem more the size of Mini Australian Shepherds. It seems this business is more of a puppy mill after our experience & after reading the other reviews. I would think if they were reputable they would stop breeding, fix the health issues, have fewer puppies so they can give them the proper attention. Also, our puppies are TERRIFIED of water! Crazy how difficult it is to give them a bath. They freak out. Never had dogs act that way before! read more

dogs are the best but their health problems make me feel like i bought from a puppy mill. these poor puppies need rescued. i noticed these people move around a lot. they were in orchard city and now their outside of crawford colorado. i'd advice caution. i think the state should at least check out why puppies are infested with worms and gerardia , bloody diarrhea stools . 4 times as much to treat the puppies health issues as it cost to buy. once i informed them of the puppies health problems they just stopped responding. the poor puppies that are still out there i feel sorry for. and there are a huge amount of puppies out there that they try to keep hidden when you go out to pick up. read more

Our toy Australian Shepherd had round worms and hook worms. His stools were runny so we took him to the vet immediately and discovered he had worms. The food she sent with him was low quality and inappropriate for an eight week old puppy! My husband bought the pup so I didn't see his environment but knew he was kept in a kennel. He was not vaccinated by a vet but by the breeders which was concerning to me. He is now fully vaccinated, has a loving home. I worry about his genetic history! I would never recommend this breeder. Too many red flags! read more

We got a male mini dachshund. Knee from the start the dog was crazy..... but felt he was coming from a puppy mill at beat so would never have left him there. Kimberly knows all the right words to say about training puppies however, she doesn't do anything with them.... They hang out on gravel and are starved for attention. Our little guy is afraid of everything....... He is safe with us now, and still afraid. read more

If I could give negative stars I would! kimberly says their dogs are healthy and don't have hip dysplasia but my 10 month old toy aussie just went to a specialist and it was confirmed that he has hip dysplasia and will be needing surgery. I paid a crazy amount of money for this dog, who is now apart of the family, and the breeder said "I can swap him out" that's not an option this isn't a car, this is family! give me my money back so I can pay vet bills and surgical costs! so dishonest, and if I want any papers to show that he is full bred, I have to either pay her more money or get him neutered which is even more money on top of all the surgery bills.. go anywhere else! read more

I absolutely agree with all other one star reviews here. It breaks my heart this woman is raising and selling dogs. We paid top dollar for a worm-infested dog with paw pads missing and terrible health issues to follow. I could not agree with Deanna's comment more, she got her payment and then stopped all conversations with us. I am so disheartened and I truly hope her business is shut down soon. There are some wonderful breeders, especially in the Fort Collins area. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS LADY IF YOU WANT A HEALTHY DOG!! read more

I bought a mini Austrailian Shepard April 2020. She has bilateral dysplastic hips. The left hip luxated in August. Xrays now show luxation on the right with bilateral osteoarthritis. The dog has great difficulty using her hind end. The treatement is surgical. The warranty for hip dysplasia from the breeder is a replacement dog. That doesn't make sense since the disease is genetic. I would not want to go through this again with another puppy. Buy elsewhere. read more

We recently got our second miniature dachshund from Kimberly. This time, we opted to make the drive instead of having our puppy flown to us. We were so impressed with the property where these dogs are bred and cared for, and loved meeting Kimberly and Kriss. They are fantastic people, who know what they are doing. We couldn't be more in love with our dogs--they are happy and healthy! read more

Never never buy a puppy from this woman. She has no business being in this field of work. She shipped out our puppy very sick to us. Then didn't take accountability for the her illness and did not help to pay medical treatment for her either. It was all good until this woman got her full payment for the puppy. Then she could careless about us or the puppy. She shouldn't keep breeding these dogs "down". They have some serious issues. She also lied about the weight of the dog. Don't buy from this breeder. Keep looking. We should have. read more

I bought a puppy from this place and I will never go back to her! She emailed me back and fourth with every information I asked for and sounded wonderful!! As soon as I paid all communication was like pulling teeth and when it came to shipping him that was a nightmare!! She sent him knowing his last flight was cancelled and that he had giardia! She even sent medicine along with his food with instructions to give it to him the next day for five days!! Who does that! I spent hours waiting for him to get on another flight with my two small children and got home at 1:30am! Now I can't even get a response from her!! Please save your money and find a different breeder! read more

Our girls picked out a puppy from the website and the dog looked beautiful on the website. We had read the review on Yelp, but contacted the breeder and asked lots of questions and in the end succumbed to our daughters who fell in love with the puppies pictures. There were no problems with shipping the puppy, but once she arrived it was obvious that the puppy had been mistreated at Dandydogs. It's two months later and here's what we can say. 1) we called the breeder and found out they had another 74 puppies that were being looked after. Think puppy farm and how could a puppy be socialized with humans when there are so many dogs/puppies too look after. As a result she behaves more like a wild dog than a socialized dog. 2) Our puppy still shakes with fear anytime a male comes into close proximity, she is terrified and even though no harm was ever done to her by us, someone must have beaten her/scared her for her to be so scared of men. 3) we have her In a puppy training class and the trainer has noted that our puppy does not socialize with other dogs or respond to any training because she is so scared anytime another person/dog interacts with her 4) the puppy has real problems connecting with our two daughters even though they love her and want her to be happy. We contacted the breeder to discuss the dogs behaviour and the response was that it is very hard to care for so many puppies at the same time, and that someone spends time with the puppies. Do not buy a puppy from this site unless you want to be bitterly disappointed read more
