I contacted this kennel to purchase a minature schanauzer. My boyfriend and I were told they had 3 males available. We drove to Straford and gave them a $150 deposit and were told that the mother was adopted, they had gotten her from a friend who had a kennel. The father of the puppies was not there. They advertise on their website that the mother "Sadie" is a new addition to their kennel and they don't show a picture of the father but give all the personality details of the father, and if you click on a link, they show you a picture of the grandfather. They also advertise they do not release their puppies until they are at least 7 weeks old, and they give you a picture your dog when they were born, etc. We actually ended up with 2 of the puppies, because my sister received a puppy from this same litter. After a vet visit she was told her pup had worms and appeared very stressed. In looking at their stools, both puppies had worms, and we notified the kennel. In further investigation we started questioning if the puppies were actually "born" at this kennel. We learned that the kennel owners had just picked up the mother and puppies on Sunday, 1/9. They let them leave their kennel only 2 days after getting them, when they were less than 6 weeks old, and they had not even had the puppies a week before they were selling them. When they were questioned the owner Cheryl Wootten stated she was sorry and would take the dogs back because of the "misunderstanding". She agreed she had not seen the dad of these dogs since he was a puppy, and they had just received the mom & pups. The next morning when we called to return them, she said she would not honor what she had stated because her husband wouldn't let her. She was a completely different person and appeared to only care about the money instead of the dogs. I can't imagine not keeping the pups for a least a couple of weeks before just selling them and making sure they were in good health. After many phone calls she finally agreed to refund us 1/2 of our money. We returned the pups to be with their mother and they immediately posted that they were for-sale again for the full price we had paide. When we returned the pups they would not give us our money (which was only 1/2 of what we had paid) until we signed a form that said "we did not read the contract fully"...that had nothing to do with why we returned them. This kennel was not honest and did not disclose all of the story with the dogs. When we called and asked what age do they let their dogs go, she stated at 8 Weeks...these pups weren't even 6 weeks old. I would not recommend purchasing a puppie from this kennel because you can't believe they are telling you the complete story. They mis-represented what they were doing and selling.
