I bought a puppy from Anne at blackbriar in 2023. I must have called her 4 or 5 times before our…read morefirst meeting, just to ask a million questions, a million different ways. Anne answered all of my questions without ever making me feel like i was imposing or taking up too much time. She emphasized several times that a puppy is a big decision and to take all the time i needed, and ask every question that came to mind. She got to know me in the process and told me all about her experience with dogs and raising puppies, so when i came to look at a litter, i trusted her input in picking the right puppy for me and my partner. She asked about the size of our home, our work schedules, our exercise levels, EVERYTHING that would be relevant when picking a puppy with the right temperament for us. She hosted us for as long as we pleased to see the puppies, play with them, and we she ultimately helped us pick the right puppy and now, 3 years later, still checks in with us from time to time to see how we are doing. I couldn't be happier with my baby and i am so glad I trusted Anne with the process.​

ok...not sure about all these reviews by people who dont understand dogs. My family used to own…read moreone of the largest retail pet supply companies in North America. I know dogs. Training and socializing a dog (no matter what the breed or breeder) is an involved commitment. You dont bring a baby home and expect it to recite the Gettysburg Address...likewise with a puppy...it is a commitment. That being said, we adopted our little girl from Royal Flush in April of 2017. She was 8 weeks old, and immeadiately we fell in love. We diligently used a leash to potty train her, then enrolled her in puppy socialization classes and training. She was so good at both that she eventually became a helper dog for younger pups who were skittish and needed help socializing. She was so smart and trained to tricks so easily that we enrolled her in an agility class taught by an internationally recognized agility trainer who was impressed at how quickly our little girl learned agility. The trainer thought we had been practicing every week...but it was that our little girl was super smart. She is not only very trainable, but she is the most reasonable dog I have ever met. She "reads the room" very well, knows instinctively what to do and where to be. (not underfoot). She is a good alarm/guard dog but once the (intruder) enters the home invited by us, she is just so happy to be their friend. She watches tv....lol...she memorizes all the commercials with dogs in them and comes running whenever she hears those commercials come on. She loves any tv program with animals in it. We can take her just about anywhere. She loves other people and dogs...(although she isnt fond of boy dogs who are interested in her back end)...for those fellas she doesn't confront...she just walks away. Being a small dog and aware of her petite nature, she is always aware of what is above her. She is always watching airplanes or birds above not in a skittish way but in a preemptive way...aware that things can fall on her...she is smart ....like I said. She is a total clown. At 8 years old, she is still as funny energetic and playful as she was at 1 yr old. When we play with her, we cannot help but laugh at her clever and funny antics. This is a magnificent dog. But she is also a dog that we have taken the time to care for and train. I would recommend Royal Flush again and again.

I got my pup from Royal Flush Havanese a few months ago and unfortunately I've been extremely…read moredisappointed since. At our first vet visit, we were told by our vet that our puppy has an umbilical hernia that the breeder failed to make us aware of. I immediately reached out to RFH with this information since it was clear that this would cost us some extra money to take care of in the future, but of course this isn't covered by the "health guarantee" - which is a total scam, by the way. And just wait because this isn't even the worst of it.... A couple months after this our puppy was diagnosed with cherry eye. While this isn't a life threatening issue, the only permanent solution is a surgical procedure or else your dog will have lifelong issues with dry eye and recurrent infections in the eye. I reached out to RFH again about this issue and low and behold this issue is specifically mentioned in the contract as NOT covered under the health guarantee. How convenient! I'm sure they know very well that cherry eye runs in their bloodline and it would be very expensive for them to cover this issue since it is so common in their puppies. It's been just shy of 6 months since I had my RFH puppy and of course I've already fallen in love with her, but unfortunately I've already spent over $3,500 on these unexpected health costs after spending about the same much for the pup in the first place. All of this is to say, don't let this place trick you into thinking the high upfront price tag for your dog will be worth it in the end in terms of lower health risks, health guarantee, etc. As much as we love our puppy we would never get another pup from RFH nor would we recommend to ANYONE and we will definitely do our research next time about more ethical, less shady breeders.

Immediately my cousin told me that this was the best school for dogs in the area. She was right that is for sure! My husband and I started taking our puppy to Rhodes Collar immediately and worked with Michelle on dog obedience skills in both private lessons and group classes. Curtis was able to get involved in a group class entitled Good Citizen Skills. He passed the class thanks to the excellent training from Michelle and owner Glenna and there continued patience with us as new owners of Curtis. We are still taking classes with Michelle and working on more advanced skills now, we really enjoy the classes. The staff are all amazing, Linda helps Curtis with the after school program, she is incredible, Maureen is amazing and helps with so many areas of running the school, Rileigh is also amazing and helps us when we need to board Curtis though Custom Care. We feel 100% confident that our puppy is safe and treated well when we go away, we get pictures and videos of everything he does at school like report cards or when boarding at a staff's home. Staff are always available in a on text and honestly this school is so amazing that my husband and I agree we are better dog owners since going to Rhodes Collar, we plan to be long time customers and are forever grateful to them. Many thanks Rhodes Collar for all you do.

I contacted the breeder explaining the situation and asking for support. -Breeder refused our requested refund of the $500 adoption fee despite extensive documentation and medical proof that the rabbit already costing x3 this amount in medical bills (and climbing). In the end, I asked Kristen if she would have spent this time and energy saving Azula's life had the rabbit remained unadopted.
