This breeder is a gift from G-d! I have had 5 deeply loved dogs over the years bred by Kristy…read more I met Kristy many years ago when I took my beloved Shih Tzu Daisy to her for grooming. BTW...She was and still is the absolute best small breed groomer in the Lower Mainland. Anyways, at the time we met back in the early 90's, she was just starting out as a Yorkie Breeder, and her goal was to be among the best Yorkshire Terrier show quality Breeders in North America. She researched tirelessly, she did everything right in terms of being a bonafide Breeder, (not a backyard Breeder) and went to extreme financial lengths, and still does, to show her dogs in the best shows all over the world. Only a Breeder of Champions can develop a reputation as a serious champion show Breeder of exceptional quality dogs among other show Breeders, and the dog show world is extremely difficult to penetrate in terms of being taken seriously and regarded as a credible show breeder. It takes years and years of dedication, effort, incredible hard work and extreme amounts of money. However, Kristy understood that without that reputation and acceptance, she would be nothing more than a backyard breeder, and that was out of the question. She maintained a busy grooming business 7 days a week, in order to fund her HUGE expenses, which include outrageously high veterinary bills, show expenses, handler costs, supplies etc etc., and on top of that, she regularly rescues dogs from bad breeders, most with serious genetic health issues. So, for those who balk at the high cost of a show quality puppy, and think that all Breeders are "in it for the money", WRONG! A backyard Breeder is in it for the money, Kristy is in it for the love, dedication, devotion and preservation of the breeds she is involved with. You know, many small dog breeds need cesarian sections to give birth, and the cost of that is outrageous! A simple spay costs $1500 now, so trust me, the $4,000 price for a show quality Yorkie, for example may sound high to those who don't understand the true cost of quality breeding, but after all the vet checks, shots, Stud fees, supplies, CKC admin costs, (papers etc.) trust me, the profit margin is borderline "loss" when all is said and done. All of Kristy's puppies are well cared for in her home, and are even paper trained before leaving. I leave you with this...Without people like Kristy, those breeds would be extinct due to genetic damage and pain and suffering caused by backyard breeders.

*WARNING - BEFORE PUTTING IN A DEPOSIT WITH KRISTY FOR A PUPPY.*…read more She insists on a nonrefundable $500 deposit, and she means it under *ALL* circumstances. We waited 6 months on her waiting list, only to find out that 2 litters of puppies had died! Due to the highly unusual circumstance, and some doubts about the health of the dogs, we asked for our deposit back. She refused and told us to wait for the next litter (which would have been 9 months). We didn't even know how many puppies died under her supervision, or how they died! We decided she was unreliable, since we could not be sure the next litter would even survive. We searched for other breeders and even got a puppy from one, Kristy still refused to give us the $500 back. She is also difficult to communicate with, and said I was "threatening" and "blackmailing" her for saying I was going to write a negative review. She will probably reply to this review trying to play the victim, even though she's the one who's $500 richer. Save your time and money, she's not worth the stress, there are plenty of reliable breeders out there who will refund your deposit if anything happens to the puppy that they are selling you.

This turned out to be a real challenge. My dog is super high-energy and was marked as having behavioral issues, so I started with just short 3 hour stays at doggie daycare. Even at that I was told he gets too grumpy with other dogs and expressed separation anxiety. We worked with a trainer and a behavioralist but still had issues at daycare. It was getting to the point where I didn't think I would be able to leave him, but then I found PNWK. My dog, Nikan, absolutely loves it there. They have huge outdoor runs and all of the staff are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and care. Can't count the number of times I have used their services and boarding, both short- & long-term. And... with no issues! It warms my heart to hear reports such as, "we can put him with any dog, he just loves to play". PNWK is my only choice for doggy daycare and boarding, even though they are an hour drive from home.

This place is excellent. The staff are knowledgable and friendly and my dogs absolutely love it…read morehere! I come from the dog world and used to groom and work in kennels, so I knew what I did and did not want when boarding my dogs. I was absolutely blown away by how smart the staff are and how well they handle the different dogs that come in. I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them because I know they will always take care of them. Apart from how much I love Pacific Northwest Kennels, is how much my dogs love it! They go crazy in the car when we're getting close and sprint in the door excited to see everyone. Was so happy to have found this place because my dogs don't do that with anywhere else. They absolutely love it here!

He had had some unpleasant experiences with groomers, and I was anxious that he be happy with the one I found. Well, THIS groomer was perfect.

He was anxious when I left, but by the time I returned, he was not only clean and gorgeous, but also calm and happy. I would highly recommend Alpha Pet Grooming to any dog owner.
