What Reviews Say
13 reviews analyzedThis facility appears to be a dog breeder (German Shepherds) rather than a boarding/daycare, with highly polarized reviews. Positive reviews praise the quality of puppies and breeder expertise, while negative reviews cite serious issues: an inbred puppy sold for $3500 with severe health problems, rat infestations, dogs not getting walks, and complete unresponsiveness to customer inquiries. The 1-star reviews (4 total) raise significant concerns about animal welfare and business practices, while the 8 five-star reviews (many without text) suggest a satisfied customer base, though the lack of owner responses to negative reviews is notable.
