    Seen the poor reviews and still give this woman a chance. She is super pushy, only thinks here time is valuable, and a very poor communicator. She also tries to use emotions as a sales tactic. I'd think twice before dealing with this person. I believe we dodged a bullet.

    I have many personal references and Vet. I have no idea what your meaning when I say MY time is the most importance. As far as my personal life I may have shared the true story about my Bernese Mountain Dog ie; they are called the Nurse dog and she helped my husband get up after a fall. He broke his neck not long after. How can a true life situation like that in regards to the demenor of a great Breed be bad?

    Also, time management is what business is ran on. If you dont like the times Im available that is not a reason to complain.

    These 1 star reviews are all false and nonsense. We've know ****** for many years. We've gotten a puppy who is now 8 months old and she is fully healthy per her vet paperwork and ours when we took her in for grooming and shots. We have also transported her puppies to dozens of families across the US and all were healthy and met USDA regulations for breeding and transport. Not a single family was unhappy.The negative reviews are people who ****** wouldn't give a puppy too because she screens all would be adoptees to make sure they are a good fit. Or owners that decided against a professional transport and are now dealing with the consequences of being cheap. She treats her pups like her children not just animals and it shows with their temperaments and character.There is no reason you should ever regret or hesitate to get a pup from ****** at hillside Kennels. I can show you proof with my pup and all the transports we have done for her. You can even call or text me for verification and photos.

    Do NOT buy a puppy from her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just bought one 2.5 weeks ago and he was really sick. He had a MAJOR BLOCKAGE and had to have life saving surgery. I have all the proof what he ate came from her kennel. He never ate one bite of food from when we picked him up until after his MAJOR SURGERY!!! We were in contact with this breeder every single day trying to figure out what was wrong with him. SHE STILL WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!!! She wouldnt let us return him for a healthy dog either! I guess its good she wouldnt let us take him back because he would have died.

    This pup was healthy when he left. No issues. When she put the pup in her car, I mentioned to her he should not be unsupervised! Ie; could he lock them out? He may panic left alone; maybe eat something or chew on the car! She did not retrieve him. A couple days later she said the pup was not eating. He was eating and a great weight here before he left. I stayed in communication the whole time with her concerns, calling to see his progress in transition to her home. Finally I referred her to my Vet as she could not afford her Vets fee. My Vet removed a glove, he never had access to the glove on the * Rays my Vet took here at his home. Never, she also was told by me to make sure and ask my Vet if we EVER had a similar situation. No we have not. I am not taking responsibility for the pup becoming ill after he left where he was bred and born. This person got a health tested, health checked with Health Certificate, and references. For a fraction of what anyone charges. I did my very best to help her and the pup.

    The puppy was never alone in the car. I sat in the backseat with him. 5 mins after we left, I offered him a treat and he wouldnt eat it. I took a photo of him as well because we were so excited to have him. He was covered in hay/grass from his outdoor, dirty kennel. The very large glove that was taken out of him was covered in the same hay/grass. We have pictures of the glove and the actual glove. We have 100% proof it was from his kennel at her place. We have records of every phone call and we started calling the next morning. Were going to *** her, thats why shes lying.

    ****** is insane. After I said I was no longer interested in her pups (BECAUSE SHE LIED ABOUT THE BIRTHDATE OF THE PUPPIES-making them appear younger than they actually were), she still proceeded to message me several times, sending picture upon picture of her dogs and ended with saying good luck finding a pup as nice as mine. I actually had to block her number. I worry about her dogsI know she had at least 3 litters at the time and hope this is not a puppy mill situation on top of her being a looney tune. She also refused to send me updated pictures making me think the pups were currently not taken good care of.

    I love my sheepadoodle pup. That said, the kennels are filthy as are the dogs. My pup is 8 months old and hadnt seen a vet since 7 weeks according to the kennel owners vet. She was covered in dried f**** and urine stains and matted to the skin. No vaccines recorded. She came with infections in both ears, pneumonia, and is at least 5# underweight. Unsocialized, afraid to go through doorways. The owner skipped our meeting and her adult son said he knew nothing about the dog or her history. I looked around for someone to help me when I arrived after driving over 2 hours to get there (not in buildings and never more than 25 ft from my car. I did look at the dogs kenneled right by the driveway. This angered the breeder so much she has blocked me on social media and phone so I have no way to get answers to my questions about the pup. I am totally in love with my pup but sad she went through so much to get here.
