Customer Testimonials
Linda Lillge
I had a beautiful jacket and I really loved her. Now the problem she bit my partner twice at 8 years old. Then she turned on me and scratch me bad and bit me on the wrist. Twice What to do with my pup
Tina Merritt, DVM
We picked up our “Skylar” just yesterday. I was very impressed with the kennel and the owner. She’s very knowledgeable and strives to maintain proper conformation and structure in her bloodlines. She also the only JRT breeder that does genetic testing in our area. Skylar is perfect. She is so smart. She has had no accidents in the house . She slept all night in her crate without a sound. She walks on my left side when we walk on our sidewalk. She loves to cuddle and play with her toys.

Our sweet Birdie is the absolute love of our life! She is super smart and has the most wonderful, loving personality! We could not imagine a more perfect fit for our family than her! Jodi was beyond professional, personable, & kept me informed every step of the way. She made sure that we got our sweet girl just in time for our girls to have a Christmas surprise under the tree! I highly recommend everyone have a Butterball pup in their life! We hope to be back soon for a second!

What is the price of your puppies?I only sell my puppies with AKC limited registration; occasionally I may make an acception. My pricing starts at $1500 regardless of color, gender or hair coat.
-
Do you offer puppy transport?Yes we do! We offer flight nanny service and personally fly with your pup in cabin. This is not included in the price of the puppy. You must be able to meet at the airport. We also offer ground transport within the state of Florida and may on occasion offer it to surrounding states--we charge $2.00 a mile one way.
-
Have your breeding dogs been health tested?Yes. We strive to breed for overall health and disposition above all else. When PLL & SCA DNA testing first became available, we tested every single breeding dog in our program. From those results, we chose to only breed dogs that tested CLEAR and any we purchase are either tested CLEAR or from parents that tested CLEAR.
-
Do you offer stud service?No we do not. There are risks involved when breeding outside females that we are not willing to take with our studs. While we appreciate your interest, sadly we must decline.
