Our Family Puppies

This is what our satisfied families had to say about the puppies they received from us!!  We want to thank everyone for taking the time to send us pictures and write us testimonials.  Please feel free to send us pictures as often as you would like!! 

Great Breeder, Awesome Puppy! This was our first time getting a puppy and we had lots of questions. Amanda was very patient, answered all our questions, and helped us feel comfortable buying online. Amanda was professional but still cared about our personal need. She was concerned more with making sure the puppy would be a good fit for our household rather than pressuring us into buying the puppy. After receiving our new puppy we took him to the vet and he was in great condition. She was up to date with all shots and vaccines. We would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a jack russell. We are very happy with our new friend running around the house. He is ADORABLE! Thanks Amanda!!!! Sean, May 25, 2009

I had to email in how wonderful it is to have a puppy. This was my first ever and I am over forty. I originally got this pup for my kids and he has turned out to be my love more than I could have every thought,. Working with Amanda to get my pup was one of the easiest transactions I have made. At first I was a little concerned about all the scamming going on, but I finally decided to go with my gut. I trusted her and it proved to be an equally satisfying experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect pup.

 Gosh, I think they like their new Puppy! lol

We are VERY happy with the newest addition to our family: Cookie.  She’s beautiful, happy, alert and a very “smart Cookie”.  Even  our vet commented during her first visit on how alert and inquisitive she was at only 8 weeks.  We are having so much fun with her.  Our older schnoodle Oreo has his hands full training her as she is very happy and playful but fortunately for him, she’s very smart.  In less than two weeks she has already learned where the treats are kept.  Every time we open the pantry door Cookie comes running and does her best dance show ready for her treat.  It’s really cute.  In addition, she has already learned the word “outside” and immediately runs to the door.  Potty training is going very well – just a few words of praise and a treat or two when she goes outside has worked wonders.

  I’m equally impressed with Cookie’s outgoing personality.  We recently had a family reunion and we took Cookie and Oreo.  Cookie was great with the kids and thoroughly enjoyed playing with them.  Of course many of my relatives wanted to pet and hold her and she was equally at ease with all the attention.   I had to keep an eye on uncle Joe as he was tempted to put her in his car and take her home with him.  I think ½ my family now wants a schnoodle.

  I chose Cookie because I wanted an Apricot colored female.  She’s a beautiful color with a soft fluffy coat.  And I love the black nose and eyes.  She’s exactly what I wanted.  I drove from OH to MO to pick her up and it was well worth the drive because more important than looks is her personality.  She’s just perfect.  Amanda was very pleasant and sent pictures frequently while we were waiting for Cookie to be ready to come home with us.  She provided all the information including the health guarantee and contract early via email for my review and was very patient with my frequent emails requesting updates on Cookie.

  Amanda – Thank you so much for working with us.  We’ll continue to send pictures as she grows.

I don't typically write testimonials, but I believe that my experience
working with Amanda warrants one. I highly recommend Amanda and Our
Puppies and I would not hesitate to purchase a puppy from them again.
  Amanda never pushed a sale.  She was more concerned with making sure
that Seth (a Cockalier puppy) and I would be a good fit for one
another rather than just selling me a dog.  Throughout the buying
process, I asked Amanda many, many questions both via email and by the
phone and she answered each and every question ? with patience and
with honesty.  I had a specific idea of the temperament and
relationship I hoped to have with the dog I was seeking.  The
information she gave me made me feel confident that Seth was that dog.
  I was initially nervous about purchasing a pet online because there
are some online scammers out there, but in very little time I grew to
trust Amanda.  She readily offered her email, phone number, address,
and other pertinent information.  She also readily supplied me with
up-to-date pictures of Seth when I requested them.   While I was
interested in the photos simply to chronicle some of Seth's "puppy"
history growing up, the number and variety of pictures also made me
feel confident that Amanda actually had the dog I was seeking to buy
in her possession.  I never once felt rushed to make a decision and
when I finally decided to bring Seth home, it seemed that the decision
felt right for both of us.

Since I was unable to go to Missouri to pick Seth up myself, Amanda
and I decided that flying Seth to North Dakota was our best option.
Amanda explained in detail how the airline transportation process
worked. She told me exactly what I should expect from the airline and
how the process would affect Seth.  Amanda kept me continually updated
on Seth's status and how he was handling the trip to the airport.  She
even had her mom contact me to let me know how Seth was doing when
Amanda was unable to contact me herself. Amanda kept me constantly
up-to-date on Seth's flight information and she called me to ensure
that he had arrived safely at his destination and to make sure I had
actually received him.

Seth was and is everything that Amanda told me he would be:  A sweet
little guy who is kind of shy at first, but a good natured and
adorable pup who loves to play outside and who loves, loves, loves, to
cuddle.  Even Whimsy, my cat who was initially "very put-off" by the
new addition to our family, is falling under his spell!

If I had to describe working with Amanda, I would have to say she is
honest, dedicated, caring, patient, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Thanks Amanda for a great experience!!  I'll keep you posted as Seth grows!

 Amanda,

 Our family would like to thank you for helping us find, Storm, our sweet little schnoodle.  She is so cute and has brought such joy to us all (especially our son).  You really made the difference in whether or not we were comfortable purchasing a dog over the internet.  From my first e-mail to you and your prompt responses (whether by phone or e-mail), you were able to answer all my questions to ease our minds.  Our experience working with you has been very positive and we are grateful to you for that.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Amanda:

So funny to hear from you today!  I had Winston to the groomer yesterday and she was so taken with him that she wanted to know all about where I had found him and whether she might be able to find one like him, etc.  That's not the first time I have had that type of reaction!  So, I sent her your website and encouraged her to get in touch with you.  Maybe she will.  Winston steals the show and is the center of attention wherever he goes.  He is the most sociable and lovable little guy.  He was a snap to housebreak and he seems to just understand what I am telling him so other types of training have not been any kind of problem, either.  He comes to the office with me every day and if for any reason he cannot come for a day, everyone is so disappointed--it's like he's the one who belongs in the office and I'm just the one he brings along...  Honestly, I have never known a dog that mixed in so well with every other person and every other dog that he met.  This is the most wonderful and sweetest little pup in the world.  He just got groomed, so he's all prim and proper looking today, but when he's a little shaggier he just looks like a living stuffed animal.  No one can walk past him without touching him.  

Feel free to use any of this and the pictures of Winston on your webpage if you like.  We are having a great time with him.  Thanks!

 My experience purchasing a puppy online and seen only by picture was zero. I talked to a few breeders by email and on the phone. Then one of the puppies caught my eye. I called Amanda to discuss purchasing one of her puppies. Amanda took out the time to educate me on the process of purchasing a puppy on line and out of state. She took out the time to find out what type of personality I was seeking in a dog.  Asking key questions she advised me the puppy I was seeking was not the one I had originally picked out, but she did have one that she thought would fit. She sent me current pictures of both the pups and the parents. She also pointed out the puppy which would she thought would be the best fit. Well it was Blue ….. She was correct. He gets along with my other dog and has already become part of the family.  Amanda made my experience pleasant and easy. She is well versed in the puppies she represents and will tell you if she thinks the puppy does or does not fit, something that is quite important when it comes to a purchase that will be with you for many years …. She was great to work with and had no problem helping me out. My family and I are really enjoying our puppy and we would like to thank Amanda for all she did to help us out …. Best breeder I spoke to online and personally. We highly recommend you give her a call ….

Now lets discuss Blue ~ The Havanese/Coton aka Havaton is a brilliant breed. Both the Havanese and the Coton have many things in common. The features they don’t have in common actually improve the dog. The playfulness and agility is just awesome. Not to mention the intelligence is amazing. This combination is highly recommended. This dog is very social…… Hats off to Amanda and crew great job….

Thanks again,

We purchased our little guy Finnegan from Amanda and he arrived this past
week.  He is all what you described and more.  What a little doll!!  He a 12
week old Cockalier and is the sweetest, most loveable little guy!!  He stole
our hearts immediately!!

Amanda it was a pleasure dealing with you and we are so grateful to you for
Finnegan.  You were very helpful to us and it is obvious that you truly care
about your puppies and that they receive a good home.  You readily answered
any questions we had and even after Finnegan arrived home, you made sure his
trip was successful and, most of all, that he handled it well and arrived to
us safely.  We truly are grateful to you and appreciate all your help.  We
would highly recommend anyone to you should they be in search of a new
addition to their family.

Thanks again Amanda.  We'll definitely keep in touch with you and let you
know how little Finnegan is doing!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My schnoodle, Louie, is a great companion.  He loves to go where ever I go (he even got to go to the Bridges of Madison County).  He seems to be a very healthy pup and is learning very quickly.  Amanda made the experience of getting a puppy very easy.  I requested that I meet the litter and mother before making a final decision and she happily accommodated my request.  Since I live in Des Moines, Iowa, it made more sense for me to pick Louie up.  Amanda met me half-way so I didn't have to drive as far, which was really nice.  I could tell right away that Louie had been taken good care of.  Louie has brought a lot of happiness to my life and even though he has the occasional bad dog moment, he is totally worth having around.   It's great to have someone be so happy to see me when I get home.  I look forward to having him around for a long time!

 Congratulations on Graduation!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You have my permission to use picture's or any  emails on your web site.  You may use me as a reference if you need to.  You will not know how worried I was that I was going to get to the airport and find no puppy or a mixed breed puppy.  Every time I told someone I was getting a puppy from online they would ask "Are you sure this is not a scam? " and me with all my faith in you would reply "No, I googled and called the vet and so far it all checked out okay."  I had faith because of our email conversations and the tone I picked up from them but, I have to say I did not know how worried I was until I got to the airport and there was Jack , my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier that I had saw in several pictures form you.  The  relief made my shoulders sag and I really felt like crying.  I just want to say "Thank You."

Hi Amanda,

Lacy is the perfect puppy and she feels right at home. She loves playing and gets along great with our other schnoodle, maggie. She is so cute when she plays and makes these little facial expressions. She is everything we could of wanted and more. I just want to thank you again for everything, you were very nice and caring, as well quick to respond to our messages. You made us feel very safe as we purchased our first puppy online and so glad that we did. Once again thank you and your family so much for everything and wish you the best

We want to thank Amanda Huttenstine for walking us through this process.  I was very hesitant on buying a puppy online, however, after my first contact with her, she truly put me at ease and allowed me to rest aside my fears.

My first search, a picture of a 5 week old Cockalier named “Dusty” came up, and that was it, I knew at that moment that he was the puppy for us. I immediately fell in love with him and the first name came to me was “Chucky”. I contacted Amanda immediately and she not only explained to me the process but she walked me through it very profesionally … I told her the name my family was going to give him and she, on her end started calling him by “Chucky” to make the transition easier for him.

We live in New York and couldn’t go and visit “Chucky” in Missouri, she then explained to me about the process of flying him in; which I thought was absolutely wonderful.

“Chucky” was 5 weeks old when I inquired about him, the thing that I love about Amanda’s service was that although “Chucky” couldn’t be separated from his mother until he was 8 weeks, Amanda kept me updated on “Chucky’s” progress as well as sent me pictures every few days until he was ready to fly out … Awesome!

The day “Chucky” flew in was a very exciting day for my family. We were all so very excited. Amanda had explained to me what to expect when I received “Chucky”, and it was everything she had explained.

After receiving “Chucky” we took him to the Vet and he was in great condition. He was up-to-date on all his shots and vaccines.

“Chucky” is a very happy puppy, and has adjusted very well. He loves to cuddle and enjoys the outdoors. My son Samari and “Chucky” together, oh boy, I tell you, I don’t know what I’m gonna do with the both of them. They both love to run through the house and playing on the floor; I sometimes find myself separating the two of them (LOL) … you know how boys do!

Thanks Amanda, for making this journey easy, fun and exciting for me and my family! Love ya …
