I first met Lauren when I thought I wanted a Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles spaniel & Poodle mix) …read more We went to see her puppies, but my husband thought a Cavapoo would shed too much. We had Cockers for years and really loved them. Talking to Laurel, we decided to order a Maltipoo (not even bred yet). She had such extensive knowledge about every breed she has that we both felt this was a better choice for us. She is so VERY careful with her breeding schedules that the pup would not be available for a few months. If she ran a puppy mill, she would have at least tried to talk us into a puppy she had available right then. Our puppy was born later so we went to see her and she was darllng! When she was old enough, we picked up the little bundle of white fur. She was perfect. Smart, affectionate...just what we wanted. She had been vet checked, given first shots, microchipped, etc. Laurel made sure I knew how to care for her, gave me a generous supply of food to last until I could get some for her. We never had any health problems because Laurel knows about all the possible problems and has the pups checked to know they are OK when they leave her home. We got along great until my precious baby was 4 1/2 years old. She got out into the dead-end lane in front of our house, was hit by a truck and my worst fear happened. She didn't suffer, but I did! I searched for rescue Maltipoos and Maltese, but people don't rehome Maltese often because they are so wonderful. I called Lauren (I was crying for Beatrice and so was Lauren) but she had 2 Maltese girls from her last litter. Again, the puppy was perfect and helped fill that hole in my heart. We also have 2 older rescue dogs and my new baby loved them. Sometimes too much. They would rather sleep than play sometimes, so now we have 2 darling litter-mate girls that are cousins to the baby I lost; they have the same grandmother Beatrice had. I even see some of her mannerisms in them. They entertain themselves and us with their antics and our older dogs get their sleep in. My sister also lost her dog to old age about the same time we lost Beatrice and ended up getting a Cavapoo from Lauren, too. She is perfect for my sister. Someone on this website made a comment that she thought Lauren had a puppy mill, but there must be more behind the story because nothing could be further from the truth. Lauren is very careful with her breeding program, retiring her breeding dogs when they reach an appropriate age, Her dogs have good food, recreation, love, room and a place to run and enjoy the outside, and are well cared-for. She always has dogs in her home with her. NOT ONE DOG is forced to spend their lives in tiny cages with little food or water and no recreation. I know this because I went to her farm to see for myself before I would get a dog from her. Anyone who thinks differently is sadly mistaken. I have fostered dogs for an animal rescue near me for several years and have seen dogs that come from those terrible places. I won't go into any details, but I have shed tears just seeing how hey have been so extremely mistreated. I have told many people about Dreamcatcher Hill and will continue to do so because I don't think anyone could be more concerned about their animals and the homes they are going to than Lauren at Dreamcatcher Hill. Sorry this is so long, but I had to let everyone know that though I'm not a close personal friend of Lauren's, I feel privileged to have found someone who cares so much about their puppies so I can have such smart, well-bred companions!

She stayed the weight we were told and she is as gentle and precious as they come! Andrea made good on her word and met us at the airport. Her prices are beyond fair. Our precious now 1 and a 1/2 year old is spoiled and we give her a life of luxury as she deserves it with an amazing temperament of all our dogs. Our vet did sense an extremely mild heart murmur (grade 1 from 1-10) but we were told it could be anxiety and no dog has perfect health. We love her more than words and I highly recommend her as a fair breeder with just the cutest dogs you will ever see! Even if you live out of state she makes it easy for you to recieve your precious bundle . Buy from her, you will be so lucky you did!

We found Kevin Miller on PuppyFind.com, in search of a new addition to our growing family. There…read morewere a couple postings of 8 week old female yellow labradors that were available, so I called Kevin to ensure that I could pick one up over the weekend. He was extremely friendly and answered the 25 or so questions that I had in regards to vet visits, vaccinations, and overall raising a pure breed. He was very knowledgable and was able to answer every single question I had, making the conversation very smooth and comfortable. I live in downtown Chicago, and the drive out to Arthur, IL took just under 3 hours. I had no cell phone reception when I got to the area, so make sure you have the exact address and directions to the residence before you get there. Upon arrival, Kevin greeted us at the door with the most beautiful little gal in the world! Pure breed, yellow labrador retriever, looking very healthy, beautiful coat color, well fed, and warmed up to us almost immediately. Kevin had me fill out some paperwork, transfering ownership, a 1-year health guarantee, canine registration form, as well as a canine health record that showed vaccinations and de-worming schedules to date. He gave us a small bag of dog food as well, so we could continue to use this as we transition to a new formula and get the puppy acclimated to our environment. Thank you so much Kevin for helping us grow our family! Highly recommended if you're looking for healthy labradors in the Chicagoland area, and from someone who is very friendly and knowledgable with dogs. Best, Charlie
