I read a lot of the reviews and have to agree that my dog was sick when I brought him home. He had a runny nose, diarrhea and ear mites. His ears wreaked of a bad smell. Alt...

Extremely Satisfied! 8/31/2012

I took home my second Bichon Frise from… I took home my second Bichon Frise from Winterhill Kennel last night and am absolutely ecstatic at how healthy, friendly and well adjusted my newest little girl is. This is the third time that I've worked with Leah and Winterhill Kennel and I would highly recommend her and her business if you are looking for a new addition to your family. I'm thrilled that the puppies are socialized with other dogs as well as children/family members. It makes the whole process less intimidating and makes for a well rounded puppy. I especially love the fact that Leah does not rely on commercial/processed dog food but makes fresh food daily which ensures healthy puppies. If the pups are eating well, they gain weight, when they gain weight they have healthy eyes, coats..... When you put in all of the hours and TLC that Leah does you see that it really does make all the difference in the world. I've seen first hand how excited and happy these little fur babies are and will sing Leah's praises and promote her business. As with any living thing, whether it be babies, puppies, kittens.....there may be problems on occasion which is not unusual and you need to remember that there are always solutions..... Great job Leah! Sadie and I thank you! :) more

Sells Sick Dogs 8/15/2012

Coccidia and under weight sick puppy. I recently purchased a 7 week 4 day Labradoodle from Winter Hill Kennel (Leah Shattuck). On the way home from picking the puppy up he began pooping blood. We took the puppy to the vet less than 24 hours later. We soon found out the puppy had Coccidia which is a parasite infection. In addition, the puppy soon developed a green runny nose and cough which was diagnosed as a respiratory infection. Puppy also had a yeast infection in his ears. In addition to all of this, the 8 week old puppy was very thin and I could feel all of his ribs and vertebrae as he only weighed 4.1lbs at 8 weeks which is very low for a dog that will mature to 50 - 65 lbs. I notified Leah of all of this and she informed me it was "normal" for puppies to have these issues and that "all breeders" have these issues (I don't believe this). She also said that regarding the weight, the puppy was so underweight because of the "Standard Poodle" side. I don't believe it and think this puppy should be about twice the weight he is. I have looked at a few growth charts, both standard poodle and Labrador puppy weights, and even our veterinarian commented that he is underweight. I would be interested in hearing from others who also purchased a Labradoodle from the April 24th litter or any other puppy in general. You can report the sale of sick puppies to the Massachusetts department of Agriculture Pet Shop division (I'm having issues putting the link in here). Also, the owner and her friends are posting fake reviews on these sites to boost ratings. more

Great Lab Pup 7/23/2012

My family and I recently purchased a labrador retriever pup from Winterhill Kennel and I wanted to take the time to write a review. Sebastian is the best puppy we have ever had. He is smart and tries to d what we ask although a few of my son's sneakers have been chewed . When we took him home, we were given health documents from the parents and the pup. Our vet said that they did a good job with shots etc. as well. I have recently sent my neighbor to them and she has a deposit on a puppy now. Too bad people seem to only take the time to write a review when they want to compain. That is why I took the time when I was happy because people should know about people who are happy with their new dogs. more

Very Happy with our Morkie puppy 1/18/2012

We are very happy with our Morkie. He is one year old now and he is a very happy, healthy, intelligent and sweet dog. We could not ask for a better temperment. He is very playful and he loves all people and all animals. Leah was very informative and knowledgable about her dogs. She has been breeding for many years and her experience is very obvious. I highly recommend this kennel. Lynn Callahan more

Excellent breeder 8/7/2011

I am a former Animal Control officer. I met Leah through showing dogs. I have been to her kennel on several occasions. It is kept in immpeccable condition. Her veterinarian is there on a weekly basis, health checking every puppy , every week. I have perosnally gotten dogs from her that were in wonderful health. It is sad to see that as soon as someone does not follow breeder instructions, and something happens to their puppy, they expect her to pay for the issue. I think she is a terrific breeder and encourage her to keep up the good work. We need more breeders like her, and less of the backyard variety that know nothing about dogs. more

terrible place 8/3/2011

Do not go to this place. I purchased a puppy from Leah. My baby pup was sick so she took him back she gave me very minimum on his status. Then I got a phone call from my father telling me that they put him down after Leah told me just 4 hours ago that he was doin great. They are a terrible place that needs to be shut down ASAP. They are breeding dogs for the money, bot the love of the animals. I wasn't even given the opportunity to say goodbye to my little baby. Please please stay away from the winterhill kennel. They are horrible people that don't give a crap about anything but money. Those poor animals deserve so much better than them. more

Another awesome dog! 9/16/2010

After purchasing my own dogs from Leah and having such a great experience, I chose to purchase my mom's shih-tzu puppy Lilah from her. I have to say that my mom is totally smitten. This is 1 of the smartest puppies I have ever met. People say shih-tzus are hard to train, but Lilah has only had 1 mistake. She also gets comments from everyone on what a gorgeous coat she has and they all want to know where she came from. Thank you Leah for another great family member! I adore my new fur sister! more
