This is my personal experience as a former client and volunteer at the kennel. After my 3 yr old doodle died of seizures right at the beginning of covid quarantine, I had the opportunity to spend time and volunteer at the kennel. I had lots of trust in Dani at the time but the more I saw, I knew I had to finally speak out. All the breeding dogs were left outside, didn't matter if there was a heatwave or winter storm. Dani preferred to breed the females back to back. You can see on their website and Facebook page that many of the females had litters right after another. I saw an entire litter of ShihTzu puppies die from being fed contaminated water. Dogs that were dropped off to be trained were left outside in the outdoor kennel and only trained the day they were being picked up. There was a very bad flea infestation problem on the property and dogs were left untreated until Kim Lange finally stepped in and worked with her vets office to treat all the dogs. My family fostered an entire litter of doodle puppies after Dani stopped bottle feeding them. We also took in a ShihTzu puppy with a horrible infection after all the rest of the litter died. I watched as Dani injected puppy after puppy with the same needle to give them medication. See pictures. Kim asked me to take the puppy off the property to help it survive. The entire time we were fostering, not once did Dani ever call or check-in. She never cared about the dogs.
I have called animal control several times and will continue to do so until they are no longer allowed to breed dogs.
Dani's mom, Mary Lou is now harassing previous clients and spreading lies. Any negative comment is immediately deleted from their Facebook page.

Not all dogs are genetically tested or tested at all. There are many stories of deaths and ongoing medical issues.

Dani has asked me to deny any bad Yelp or Google reviews but knowing what I know and saw, I couldn't.

Dani and Mary Lou have absolutely NO business breeding dogs. They only care about the money.

Now Mary Lou is going around on Facebook spreading false accusations about a former employee. This employee was a former client and volunteer. She is owed thousands in back pay. Mary Lou is even leaving 5-star reviews on Yelp and Google.

She has blocked anyone trying to tell the truth about the kennel and their unethical practices.
