Got the kitten over the holiday weekend, so vet wasn't opened immediately. Got kitten there soon as they opened. What she was diagnosed with could not have gotten that bad over 2 days.

Ethical breeders are so hard to find. Breeders who truly care and raise amazing animals may appear to make you jump throw hoops of fire sometimes; but in reality all of us should be grateful. Breeders who truly care for their animals also truly care where they are placed. *I am glad that you adore my babies as much as I do! Thank you, Vanillabelle Ragdolls.

We just got our second golden retriever puppy from Famn Damily Farm. We got our first a year and a…read morehalf ago. Both dogs are beautiful, incredibly healthy, and have been amazing additions to our family. And I really can't say enough good things about Famn Damily. I've been there twice now. With my family. In both cases we drove 240 miles to get there, just because we realized what a special place it is, and because we knew we didn't want to get our puppies from any place else. You set foot on the farm, and you see dogs that are truly living their best lives. They have so much space to run and play, they are so well cared for, and so loved, and so clearly happy!! And healthy. And the facilities that have been constructed for the dogs, that clearly took a great deal of time, money and effort to build, are very impressive. Melodie Hammond runs the farm. And she's amazing. I know that my future dogs will be golden retrievers, simply because I know I only want to get puppies from Melodie, from Famn Damily, and Golden retrievers are what she breeds. The last thing I said to Melodie when I left the farm yesterday was, "see you in another two years"

Such a nice experience with Bella! Our goldendoodle is our first puppy, the first for my daughter…read more The process was easy to follow, very detailed and comprehensive - i.e. we had to commit to getting training and we watched her process videos and suggestions - but this all speaks to Janelle's commitment to us and her pups. She is not going to let just anyone get a puppy, she wants them to have the best home. Communication was key. Being new to this or any puppy adoption, we had many, many texts between us so I never felt abandoned in the process. As our pup was available right away and we live in the Rochester area, we started talking on Saturday and had our lil girl on Monday! Big Thank You to Janelle for her wonderful breeding and adoption process!

After a very long time of researching breeders I decided that Janelle Cole at bellaminidoodles.com…read moreseemed like the best fit to work with. I found a beautiful puppy listed on the website " Fushia Girl " a mini goldendoodle i spoke to Jenelle 3 times before purchasing. She sent me the invoice for 3,900.00. Once I paid in full she texted me not thanking me for the payment but to complain she forgot to add on the $110.00 processing fee she gets charged when one uses a credit card. Although this was settled once she realized her error Jenelle advised she would pay for this fee along with the " training the pup received " I selected a pick up date see her website she charges $550.00 for pick up in Lee Massachusetts. Once a delivery date was set I received another text from Jenelle advising me to bring $675.00 in cash for the delivery driver. Big difference $550.00 to $675.00. I arrived early that day to pick up the puppy, no delivery company existed it was just her son. I pay the $675.00 was handed the pup and drove home the 2 hours. When finally was getting settled at home I noticed I was given the wrong dog. I also must add this pup was so shaggy, messy, matted and poor thng couldn't see with the amount of hair covering the eyes. I brought the pup to TWO pet specialists and was told this dog is NOT a Pure Goldendoodle this is closer to a Poddle. I contacted Jenelle Cole that same night at 732pm via text, expressed my concern to Jenelle Cole. Radio Silent, No Text, No Phone Call nothing. The next day at 130 pm I finally connected with Jenelle Cole owner of Bellaminidoodles.com. The reply I received " anyone who is not happy with the puppy they receive I always tell them to bring the puppy back to me " I remind her I live in Massachusetts and she lives in Rochester NY a 938 miles round trip. That day I spend 2 hours researching flight nanny, delivery companies, private flights out of the Beverly ma airport, thought about renting a car, looked into taking a bus to NY so many ideas but every idea I had and looked into would cost $650.00 at minimum to get the pup returned to NY. I finally decided I would drive my own car that is a lease to NY. I reached back out to Janelle and ask her if she would kindly return my $675.00 cash from the pick up delivery and I Will agree to drive the pup I have back to her home in Rochester NY. Her reply " I am not paying one penny for your expense to bring the pup back to me this is your responsibility " Text me when you are on your way, and hangs up on the phone on me. The next day at 4:42 am I got in the car and drove to NY. I arrived at 12:35 pm returned the pup back to Jenelle Cole. She begged me not to post any reviews. She asked me if I thought she was being fair I replied NO but showed zero compassion. All I wanted and still want is the delivery fee of $675.00 returned to me. Note again her sketchy website says her delivery fee to pick-up a pup is $550.00 so why was I was charged $675.00 is wild. I returned home that same night at 920pm. I drove 987 miles, drove a total of 14 hours, spent $140.00 on gas in one day a big loss for me. The next day Jenelle Cole texted me showing me pictures of the pup all well groomed saying she has been adopted for $3400. I submitted a complaint with the Attorney general office in NY thankfully they have a Lemon Law for Dogs. Waiting for the outcome, I just want my refund. #1 pic is the dog I purchased, #2 & 3rd picture is how I received the pup, shaggy, messy and not the same dog. Lastly her pups are not " Trained " so please beware and no I do not recommend bellaminidoodles.com. They advertise Goldendoodles but are selling Poodles. Note multiple negative reviews posted on bellaminidoodles.com most concerning her last positive review is not recent dated back to 2019. Could be family or friends posting a positive review.

My wife and I tried to adopt a dog at this shelter in June, 2018. We chose a small female mixed…read morebreed and had nothing but problems with the attempted adoption. The manager of the shelter at the time appeared to have someone else lined up to adopt the dog but did not tell us that. I did everything I could think of to prove to him that we would give the dog a good home. I took photos of our property inside and out, showed him that we had a fenced yard, etc, etc,etc. He said someone would visit our home but that never happened. He also said he would call when a decision was made and that also never happened. We ended up adopting a seven year old (Approximate) Yorkie (Blossom) from the Brennan Humane Society in Gloversville and could not have been happier with the adoption. Blossom recently passed due to age after giving us seven years of love, affection and happiness. Each year she travelled back and forth to FL with us and was never a problem. We will miss her terribly. Bill Lair

When we pulled up we did see the other dogs in cages and they were outside but you could see they had homes. I personally wanted to go inside and just sit with our little man and maybe see the brothers and sisters but she brought him out to us not letting us inside. Maybe they suffer from separation anxiety at a young age idk. When we had gotten him we had some fleas but it was raining before and damp thats ok. Only part was a few weeks in he had round worms so just not sure where those came from but again, common, this is our second vizsla. Hugo is almost 2 years old now and although he had a rocky start he is the best dog i have ever had in my life. Hes not just a dog but my best friend. He kisses people on the mouth is so gentle and snuggly and is even better than our first V who till Hugo i thought was the best dog i ever had too. They just keep getting better. I hope for long term longevity with him. The Vizsla bloodline she has is great. Looking for a GSP soon. For all seeing, the dogs are fine and loved and the vizslas she has will melt your heart. Cant speak for the GSPs but everyone should have a Hugo.
