Naphtali and I communicated through text and she walked me through the process, answered every silly question I had and sent me videos and pictures. Of course I was worried (like with anything on the internet now) that it might be a scam but I felt right away after talking to her that this was real. We FaceTimed and she sent me picture updates and videos. We live in San Diego so we were trying to figure out schedules to get out there but she had already planned on a trip out this way so she offered to drive our puppy directly to us. AMAZING! Our Rosey is absolutely the most well behaved, sweet, calm but fun and playful dog I've ever met. We love her so much And are so thankful to have found Best Friends Kennels!

From the very beginning, it was clear how much love, attention, and commitment Deanna puts into every single puppy. She is truly an ethical breeder who genuinely cares about the well-being of her dogs -- not just while they're with her, but for their entire lives. Communication throughout the entire process was so easy and reassuring. She answered all my questions, kept me updated, and made me feel like I was part of the journey even before bringing my puppy home. The handover experience was just as amazing -- warm, organized, and full of care. It was evident how much love and work she put into preparing my puppy for his new home. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a responsible, caring, and truly passionate breeder, I can't recommend Deanna enough.

Deanna is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and thoughtful about the process of finding forever homes for her dogs. I felt supported along the way and she continues to be an excellent resource (our puppy is now almost 5 months!). I traveled by plane to pick up our sweet Jeffrey and I felt so prepared, thanks to Deanna! What could have been a stressful situation was organized and balanced, even despite of COVID (she's also very mindful of precautions, which was important to me). When I took Jeffrey home, he was already used to brushing and nail clipping. He learned to feel comfortable in his crate quickly AND he's the biggest lover of people (kids included!) and other animals. A truly content and sweet puppy . Thank you, Deanna!!!

I've known this breeder for over 23 years, and in that time I've consistently seen a level of…read morededication and integrity that is rare. Her commitment to the Maltese breed goes far beyond simply raising puppies - she is deeply invested in preserving and improving the breed through thoughtful, responsible breeding practices. She regularly shows her dogs, and many have earned placements, which speaks not only to the quality of her breeding program but also to the care, trianing and attention she gives each dog. Her knowledge of the breed is extensive, and she is always focused on health, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cares - about her dogs, about the families they go to, and about the long-term future of the breed. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for well-bred Maltese from someone who truly does things the right way.

I purchased a puppy from this business when she was barely 8 weeks old. She had no vaccines, no…read moredeworming, no papers, and no documents of any kind. The woman simply came out, handed me the puppy, took the cash, and left. By the next day, it was clear something was wrong. Within two days, our veterinarian confirmed she had two different parasites. So far, I have been to the vet four times and spent over $1,000 on medical care. Despite multiple rounds of medication, she has had nonstop diarrhea since the day we brought her home. The breeder took no responsibility, repeatedly shifted blame, and claimed this had "never happened." This puppy should never have been sold at such a young age, especially without vaccinations or deworming. If you decide to get a puppy, insist that it is at least 12 weeks old, properly vaccinated, and dewormed. Based on my experience, this is a backyard breeding operation. If you follow their social media, you'll see how frequently they have litter after litter. Our vet told us that our puppy's condition is consistent with being raised in unsanitary conditions. This entire experience has been heartbreaking. The joy of bringing home a new family member was taken from us. From the moment she arrived, I've been nursing a very sick puppy. Oh and she has double ear infection!!!! My brother also purchased a puppy from them just two days before mine, and his dog was diagnosed with the exact same parasites. Both puppies are still on medication and still suffering. Shame on you for treating your animals and your customers this way. If I could give negative stars, I would.

She is an aggressive and abusive woman who venomously spoke down to me in every interaction. When we got our dog they stated that the dog we were adopting was very docile, little did we know it was because he was on his death bed.

Furthermore when we took him to the vet he had a severe case of valley fever that was hard to miss because he was not only lethargic , extremely dehydrated needing multiple IV fluid injections but he had pain with simply getting up and down from a laying down position in addition to a tick born illness.

Weeks later, I saw a post indicating that one of the same dogs was still available. I left a comment asking whether he had been returned or was still looking for a home, and instead of responding, the post was deleted. The lack of transparency and communication felt very unprofessional. I can't help but worry that these communication issues might be preventing some dogs from finding good homes.
