3 Pines Kennels

When I went to pick up my puppy from Sharon I was shocked at the living environment of the puppies/​dogs. All of the puppies are in cages stacked on cages, it was wet and cold inside the building and the smell of urine/​feces was so strong it was disgusting. Outside there are a TON of dogs sectioned off in her yard. She yelled and hit the cage of a litter of very young puppies who were barking. Overall, I never would have bought a puppy from this business had I seen pictures of her place and it would not surprise me one bit if other buyers took home sick pups, I feel very fortunate my little guy was healthy other than diarrhea for a couple days.

I got Poopsie, a YorkiePoo (mostly poo), over 3 years ago. She has the poodle apricot and cream coloring, but now also has the silver sheen that comes from her Yorkie side, so she’s beautiful as well as sweet. She has a reputation at the dog park of being the most affectionate dog there. She goes around to everyone to give them a chance to pet her and has made several good human friends. One Doxie, is her best friend and they played like crazy when they were pups. Now they don’t play outside so much, but they do have indoor play dates which are great fun. At home she is the sweetest little lapdog when watching TV together, but she has to have bouts of wrestling to tire her out before going to sleep. She has a huge vocabulary of sounds to make herself understood. She is such a smart cookie. She does respond to pointing, looking at whatever I point to. She has been quite healthy. I’ve been asked where I got her, and how I made her behave so well. I say, «I chose my breed carefully, and I chose my breeder carefully as well.»

We got a cavapoo puppy from this breeder and he was perfectly healthy, cleared the vet with flying colors and is an adorable and sweet dog with an excellent disposition. Everyone in our neighborhood loves him and he is great with kids and other dogs.

I got a chorkie from her a few years back. I put money down and was due to pick her up in a couple days. Sharon called me the night before and said my puppy was sick and she wouldn’t let me take her til she was well. in fact she wasn’t even sure she would make it. she offered to refund me the money or another puppy. But that one already was mine. So I said I’d wait a few days to see how she was and she got well in a couple days under Sharons care! So I have this to say: If you got a sick puppy I am sorry. My paretnts recently got a cute puppy from the shelter and it turned out to be super sick. Sometimes they just don’t know. But Sharon was always honest with you and Gracie is a happy 5 pound Chorkie now. So why a 3? well I felt the price was a little high for a hybrid. I do say a shelter is better and I know you when you want a puppy you want it right now. .. but if you contact a few shelters around you and tell then what type of dog you want they will call you when it comes in. I highly recommend you try that first. Cheaper, safer, and the same loving doggy: c) I got my other doggy from a rescue shelter as a 4 month old puppy and she’s a great hybrid (only 6 pounds too!)

I’ve had my puppy 6 weeks. I took her to the vet 2 days after I got her. Her fecal analysis showed she had coccidia and giardia. She also has a heart murmur. So far, her meds have been 2 rounds of Panacur, 5 days each, for the giardia; 2 rounds of Albon, 7 days each, for the coccidia; and 2 rounds of Clav-​Amox, 10 days each for a cough she’s had since I got her. When I told Sharon about this, she as much as said that I was exaggerating and that none of the other pups were sick. She asked for my vet’s number and I was more than happy to give it to her. I have not heard from her since and this was 3 weeks ago. I did not visit the kennels before I purchased my pup. Big mistake! I monitored Sharon’s 3 Pines Kennels facebook page for months before I contacted Sharon about interest in a puppy. She had a lot of positive feedback, but as a friend pointed out, «Would you leave the negative stuff on your wall?» I had faith that I was getting a healthy puppy from someone who is a caring breeder. The fact is, I did not get a healthy puppy. We’ve been through a lot during the 6 weeks that I’ve had her, and we are not done yet, as she is still on meds. Good news is that my puppy has a sweet disposition and her tail rarely stops wagging.

I recently got a cavapoo from sharon at 3 pines kennels. Her and her staff are very friendly and inviting. her property is very open where her dogs get to play and the mommies and puppies get to stay in a specially made room for them with ac and heat. when i went to go pick up my puppy i saw that all the kennels were clean and not one dog seemed to be neglected. I love how socialized the puppies are! the mommies and daddies too! i would definitely go back to sharon whenever i decide on another puppy. my pup is healthy happy and a little ball of energy. she loves people and other animals. and for those people who have negative things to say and say shes running a puppy mill, they need to do their research on what a puppy mill is. Sharon’s kennels are clean and her dogs look healthy and happy. i would definitely recommend 3 pines kennels to everyone who wants a healthy well socialized puppy!
