We got our Cavachon from Alana in 2020 and I have only the best things to say about the transaction as well as our sweet little love bug of a dog. Mild mannered, sweet tempered, trained as well as can be expected for a little puppy when we got her, our dog is a joy and I recommend Shade Mountain to everyone I know. It was recommended to me by a friend in town and I feel lucky that it was as I didn't know where to start looking for a puppy. Honest, reliable, forthright, and concerned are all how I would characterize Alana in all of our interactions before, during and after we got our dog. read more

Alana was very helpful through the process of buying my Shichon puppy. I received an updated picture of the puppy prior to putting down a deposit and another one around 7 weeks. When we picked up the puppy, she came with a little care package that had one of her favorite toys to this day. The puppy was healthy when we picked her up and continues to be as she grows. I do recommend making sure you get directions to the kennel from Alana and go early because its a bit hard to find with GPS. read more

Love my Puggle Si! Had a wonderful experience with Shade Mountain Kennel. Very caring and professional people. Prompt email responses! Alicia was so caring about her dogs. I went to just look at him, fell in love and felt like I was getting a puppy from professional people. Would definitely recommend getting a puppy from them. I am so grateful to have found them on puppyfind.com and now Silas is my buddy! Thank you!! Ginger Refice read more

Shade Mountain Kennel is great! We were scammed out of $500 dollars before finding Alana and Shade Mountain Kennel. Luckily, we were able to purchase our Black F1 Goldendoodle with no issues, even though it was in the midst of the pandemic. We were equipped with all of the proper documentation and shot records for our puppy. Our puppy, Ivan is now a year old and we wouldn't trade our experience for anything else. read more

I really can't say enough about just how easy and wonderful it was to get my pup from Shade Mountain. Alana was always quick to respond to my questions. I requested a blanket be put in with his litter mates and Mom so that I could ease his transition, Alana was kind enough to do that for me. Two nights before I was to pick him up Alana contacted me that there was a small issue that the Vet detected. He was cleared to come with me, but she wanted to give me options in case. I can only say that there was no chance I wasn't bringing my pup home! Everything turned out just fine and as expected the little guy grew and the issue self corrected. I Live in Central NJ so the drive was a good 3 hrs both ways, but it was a nice Fall day which made for a pretty ride. If you are thinking about getting your new pup from Shade Mountain Kennel, just do it! Alana is very knowledgeable and is great at returning her messages. The dogs are well cared for and the place is clean. You can even look them up on the State Of Pennsylvania website to see if there are any violations. I did and there wasn't! read more

Shade Mountain Kennel is amazing! We purchased our Shichon puppy from Alana after my best friend highly recommended them after purchasing her puppy 3 years ago from Shade Mountain. Our Teddy is healthy, happy, and very well socialized. Can't say enough great things about Shade Mountain. Alana is always available with friendly advice and helpful answers to all my questions day or night both prior to receiving Teddy and even after Teddy came home. Even during Covid she was willing to schedule an appointment for us to visit the kennel and always sent us pictures of Teddy as we requested them. Our Teddy was very well socialized and came home to us already comfortable in his crate. He's a happy little guy! If you're looking for an awesome breeder, I highly recommended Alana at Shade Mountain Kennel! read more

Great place to buy a puppy! I just got my standard poodle pup there. Communication leading up to my picking her up was great. The lady that works there is really sweet. Pups are already somewhat potty trained. I just found out they aren't breeding standard poodles anymore after this year :( But they have other breeds available. I'd recommend this breeder in a heart beat. read more

I brought home my Shichon from Alana on December 29, 2018. I am so happy I settled on Shade Mountain Kennels. My little Bailey is the sweetest pup and I am enjoying him so much. He's friendly, sweet, playful and just the best behaved puppy. I made arrangements to meet Alana half-way since it was a 5-hr drive for me just one way. It worked out perfectly and I was able to get home sooner and spend quality time with him. Alana is very responsive both by phone and text messaging. I just can't say enough good about her and her Kennels. If you're looking for a sweet addition to your family, look no further. read more

We got our cavachon, Bear, from SMK in December 2017. He is the most amazing, sweet puppy with the greatest disposition. We absolutely love him, and so does our formerly anxious labradoodle. He has made everyone's life better! Highly recommend SMK. read more

My husband and I decided on getting a puppy after our terrier passed away. He had been with us for over 16 years. We looked at various breeds and the shichon looked like it would be perfect for us. We also did extensive research on breeders because we wanted to be sure we got a healthy puppy. After seeing the website of the Shade Mountain Kennels we were sold. They had one puppy left from a litter that had been born in January. I contacted Alicia Snook and she said he "Milo" was still available. We were thrilled. She sent me a little video of "Milo" and we just fell in love with him. We live over 3 hours away and wanted to pick up the puppy early in the morning so that we could drive home and get the little guy settled. Alicia was wonderfully accommodating. She gave the puppy a bath before we got there so he would be relaxed on the trip. We have changed his name to Teddy. We have now had him for a little over a month. He is THE BEST little dog. Very smart, very good natured. He loves people, he is sweet and he makes us laugh with all his antics. He is a very healthy little guy. We are so lucky that we found Shade Mountain Kennels. We thank Alicia for her kindness to us. I would HIGHLY recommend Shad Mountain Kennels. Anyone who wants a healthy, well adjusted puppy should go there. My husband and I feel we were blessed to find them and our little Teddy. read more

Wonderful experience! This is a clean, professional, licensed kennel and you get to deal with Alicia, the manager. We had open and consistent communication about our pup, including photos along the way. The pup was clean, happy and well adjusted. You can tell Alicia cares about the dogs very much and personally ensures their well-being! read more

Very, very friendly and very clean. The animals are obviously well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Shade Mountain Kennel to everyone looking to add a pup to their family. read more
