Kennels Near You

We bought a female Siberian Husky puppy for $1500.00. After a couple of weeks it was obvious that the dog had a problem with her left hind leg. We took her to the vet and he said she would require surgery costing thousands of dollars to make it right. No guarantee. When we contacted Birch Bark Kennels and informed her of the vet's diagnosis she disavowed any responsibility on their part. When we asked for our money back she refused but offered a full grown male instead. Hardly what we paid for. We couldn't afford a vet bill for thousands of dollars so we tried to help Niki (our pup's name) deal with her affliction. Niki's inability to put weight on her left hind leg and the concomitant limping has worsened as of late. I dread the day when she can no longer walk on her own. I only gave Birch Bark Kennels 1 star because 0 was not an option.

At first we thought Posh Paws was a good daycare for our girl. They have a large facility for dogs to run around and our girl would return home tired at the end of the day. However, a few months ago we picked her up only to find a large lump on her face and she was having difficulty breathing. Staff hadn't notice anything up until we arrived to pick her up - we thought that was strange, but maybe just a fluke. Yesterday something similar happened: our poor girl had a large gash on her face which went unnoticed until we picked her up at 4:00pm. The fact that this happened in the first place and then went unnoticed tells us that there is minimal supervision or care for the dogs. After more than $500 in vet bills and a dog in terrible pain, we unfortunately do not feel comfortable leaving our girl here again. We know that accidents happen, but we are posting this review because we would like to ensure that other families know the risks of leaving their dogs at this facility and we hope that Posh Paws will work towards a higher standard of supervision.

We have left our Staffordshire Bull Terriers with Country Squire several times. They are wonderfuL !!! They are so knowledgeable of the breeds and on top of everything, We trust them to look after our boys and keep them safe. They honestly are the best !!!

Kelsey D.: Im still looking for a breeder who is able to ship a puppy to Canada (male or female, preferably Male who will grow big) but everyone that i have went to cannot ship to here because i apparently dont have a major airport in my town. Idk if this is a must. But i cant drive out of town it would cost more than the puppy itself. I want to keep my shipping budget in the $350 range if possible. Please let me know if you can help.
