Dr. Nash Williams, DVM, Twin Oaks Veterinary Hospital, 2970 US Hwy 21 N, Sparta, NC 28675.

If you have a veterinary emergency, they still do nights and weekends at a fair price. Phone:  336 372 8744. When asked about being a reference for Healthy Pups, Dr. Nash said he would be honored.  You have by far in every way the nicest facility and well cared for animals that I have ever visited in my career, he said!....everyone knows you shouldn't breed house pets, and small hypoallergenic dogs are almost never available at shelters. Without breeders like you folks, people would have no pets and we vets would have no jobs!

You are a wonderful person, good neighbor, wonderful public servant, and one of the very best veterinary doctors!  We will miss you!

A Few Emails And Reviews. Only fake websites have better reviews than us! 

• I got 2 maltipoos puppies delivered to me from here. It was a very smooth process given all the "moving parts". Irvin was always available to talk and answer questions. The puppies arrived clean, and healthy. They also arrived with meds just in case as well as plenty of food and detailed instructions. It has been almost 2 weeks since they arrived and they are doing pretty well. They are even 90% potty trained. They arrived very scared and shy as expected but now they are full of energy and very social. Anyway enough about my experience. If you want reliable pre, during, and post service along with honesty, this is the place to go. Vincent Barnes, Jr.
• We had our puppy delivered site unseen. He has brought us soooo much joy and we could not have asked for a better and healthier pup. He is now 2 and to date has had no health issues. Thank you Healthy pups Don and Patti Farmer
• We have gotten all of our dogs from Irvin/Healthy Pups over the years, and I honestly cannot recommend him enough. Most recently, we welcomed our sweet Maltipoo, Daisy Rose, into our family, and once again the experience was absolutely wonderful. From day one, it’s clear how much love, care, and attention he puts into every puppy. His dogs are incredibly well cared for, healthy, socialized, and raised in a loving environment and it truly shows in their personalities. Daisy Rose has been such a joyful, confident, and loving addition to our home. What really sets him apart is the relationship he builds with families. He doesn’t just send you home with a puppy you gain a lifelong resource and friend. He is always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide reassurance whenever needed. His knowledge, honesty, and genuine care for both the puppies and the families they go to is unmatched. You can fully trust that you are getting a happy, well-loved puppy from someone who truly cares about what he does. We are incredibly grateful for him and everything he has done for our family over the years. If you’re looking for a breeder who is trustworthy, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to his dogs, look no further. We couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Stacie Wilkerson

• This is NOT a puppy mill. Irvin runs a clean, cheery facility that offers sweet HEALTHY pups. Prospective buyers are welcome to come see the pups, and you can preview then online. We are pleased with our dogs. Keith Colie Purchased a beagle poo back in May 2020. Irvin was very helpful, did a facetime, provided deworming meds and instructions. Our dog Eevee has been very healthy and full of spunk (and craziness). Would highly recommend. Irvin takes great care of his puppies. Lynn

• We are pleased with our purchase of a Teddy Bear puppy. Irvin the nursery manager, was very helpful in our selection process. He was knowledgable and personable and we would highly recommend Healthy Pups to anyone looking for a new furry child member to their family. Anonymous Food
• I have to write a review , because Irvin is such a nice guy and my puppy will be 1 in December 2020. I purchased my Maltipoo from Irvin in March 2020. He was extremely responsive , and accommodating as I was coming from out of state . We were on a time crunch before the states went under lockdown. A day before arrival we did a FaceTime and I was so happy to see the pup. As soon as I arrived at the location I was greeted by his lovely granddaughter , and everyone was so friendly . He gave me the dewormers, dry food and answered every question I had. A few months later my pups did get worms again; not Irvin fault as it very common in puppies. My puppy had an bad habit of eating his poop. I emailed Irvin , and he was extremely helpful and responsive . I took my puppy to the vet they suggested I changed the food( from Blue, now using Merrick) and they gave me more dewormers. My puppy is so loving and healthy , and has the most beautiful coat. Danielle B
• We found Healthy Pups online after searching all over North and South Carolina and Virginia, not finding what we wanted or were comfortable with. We saw a video on the Healthy Pups website of a tiny male Cavachon, and fell in love. Then we read everything on the website, and reviews, and decided to bring the little guy home. Mr. Blackburn was very helpful and knowledgeable, even responding immediately a week later when I called with concerns, gave me some input on what to do, and he was right. My little Cody perked right up again! We love him and are so grateful to Healthy Pups!!! Mary Parks
• I adopted a 6 month old Rattle puppy back in February and he has been such a blessing to my little family. After purchasing a house and moving out on my own, my older dog was lonely and showing signs of depression after being apart from my parents’ dogs. I began searching for a new furry sibling for my older dog. It was such a pleasant experience getting my boy from Healthy Pups and Kylo is now 10 months old, happy, healthy, and keeping my older dog active. I am such a lucky dog mom and thank you for my sweet boy! - Emilee, Kali, and Kylo Emilee Anne
• I purchased my Yorkie from Mr. Irvin. My experience was both pleasant and professional. I named my puppy Locksley after Robin Hood, because he steals things and carries them to his cage. He also stole my heart in a matter of minutes. Carol Dixon
• After many hours of research on where to purchase a puppy for Valentines Day, I came across this website and I could not be more pleased with my new pup baby. Irvin, the owner, is excellent in providing all the details that I needed for her to make an easy and healthy transition. Healthy Pups are true to their name. Thank you. Rain Bow
• Healthy Pups is the best place to purchase your puppy. Irvin is very professional and knowledgeable. We are so happy with our Maltipoo. We received instructions and the vaccines that where given already to the puppy. I will definitely recommend Healthy Pups Daniel Griffin
• We Healthypups.com after much research and prayer. We are very pleased with our newest family member. Our puppy is completely perfect. The buying process was easy and secure, and knowing that our pup was raised in a family nursery made us feel more comfortable. I highly recommend healthypups.com and will be sure to tell our family and friends when they are looking to add 4 paws to their families too. Stephanie Catlett
• 3 years ago we added our Teddy Bear from Healthy Pups to our family via courier delivery. We were so in love with her (Matilda) we decided to get her a brother this summer. The same courier (thank you Randy!) brought him as a complete surprise for our kids.We never considered getting our second Teddy Bear (Cornelius!) from anyone other than Irvin at Healthy Pups. These dogs are healthy, happy, well socialized and just ready to join the family. Courier service is impeccable! Thank you Irvin - great job with these wonderful animals, our family is now complete. Jamie Rahbany
• I purchased my yorkie from healthy pups and my pup is 6 months now. My Thor is happy and healthy. I was in search for a long time for a breeder who had yorkies and not expensive. Irwin was nice and very informative about his pups. The best decision I made. I love our new edition to our family. Shalanza Johnson
• We purchased a Shichon from Healthypups.com and our entire experience with Irvin was great. Once I made my deposit, he called faithfully to let me know what new litters he had posted to his website. The final pick up and exchange went great (even in the midst of COVID-19). Irvin seems to have a lot of passion for what he does and I highly recommend him. Our Winston has a great personality and is adjusting to his new family well! Camilo Richards
• We got our newest family member from Healthy Pups and we couldn't be happier. Our handsome little boy (Teacup Imperial Teddy Bear) is the smartest puppy we've ever had. Irvin took the time to cover every possible thing that we needed to know how care for this little guy (Teddy). He gave us his up to date records to take to our vet and a bag of puppy food. Thanks again Irvin!! Jeff Wolfe
• Beautiful Fruggle female 5 months old. Healthy looking. Healthy acting. The owners met us after hours because we were traveling through the area Puppy didn't look wormy but the owner sent wormer, puppy chow with her. I think the owner is like most parents just covering all bases. Wanting the puppy to have a healthy start. Plus wanting us as new owners of the puppy to have a trouble free transition. Very well adjusted, plays well with my other 2 dogs. Chases the chickens a little. ???? This company definitely fills a need in this world. There are so many fraudulent people taking advantage of people asking for money upfront to find out there is NO puppy You can trust this family owned business. M P
• Got my shicon puppy, Harvey, and couldn't be any happier! He's so sweet and adjusting well to his new home. Cora Raines
• I would like to say this was the best experience I’ve ever had; Mr. Irvin walked me through everything on how to bring my maltipoo puppy home and make it a smooth transition home! My pup is very healthy and well taken care of, I can genuinely say Mr. Irvin cares for his animals. My family is over joyed with this new addition to our family. Andrea Garcia
• I bought Reilly, a teddy bear pup almost 2 years ago. She is still going strong! She is a bundle of joy and extremely healthy. Anyone that says this business is a puppy mill has NEVER visited the Blackburns!!! I did my research for a year before purchasing. Irvin was honest, dependable, and very reassuring about his puppies. If I buy another pup, I would ONLY go to Healthy Pups!!!! Kaotic K
• It was a pleasure doing business with Irvin Blackburn from Healthy Pups. He is a very well organized, upfront and honest-tell it like it is businessman. The puppy we got from Irvin is a charm. I would definitely recommend his puppies. My family and I went from northwest Indiana to North Carolina to pick up the puppy. Irvin explained to us what to expect and what to look out for. The puppy did great on a 12 hour ride. I've researched prices for this type of dog and I feel I got a great deal. Thank you once again Irvin for a great pup. It was also a pleasure meeting you in person. Keep doing what you're doing and we wish you and your wife many successful years with your pups. Luis Diaz
• We bought an Imperial Teddy Bear puppy from Mr. Irvin in May and we are over the moon in love with her! Sadie is the sweetest puppy! We can’t imagine life without her and hope we have many years with her! Mr Irvin was very helpful and gave us dewormers. At her vet appointment they said she was very healthy! I highly recommend Healthy Pups! Marcus Tanner
• Wonderful experience! My family and I love our new puppy. Mr. Irvin was very kind and gave us a lot of very helpful information. I would 100% recommend healthy pups to anyone looking for beautiful, high quality puppies :) Jasmine Jawad
• We adopted our sweet Bagel from them 3 years ago. She’s so smart and was healthy from day one. Highly recommend. V Carter
• Irvin, the breeder was very helpful and pleasant. I bought my little Teacup Shichon Teddy Bear from him in March. Irvin, was so patient and was not pushy. He let me take my time choosing my precious puppy. I took her to the Vet and the Vet said my little one pound six ounce puppy was very healthy. My Vet was very pleased. Irvin had already had my puppy microchipped and she had all her shots. She is the sweetest and most loving puppy I have ever seen. My entire neighborhood is in love with her. She was extremely easy to train. I got the training bells that go on the door knob and she was trained in a week. I would recommend Healthy Pups in North Carolina to anyone who wants a healthy puppy. They are not a puppy mill. He also gives a written warranty with his puppies. Thank you again, Irvin for this adorable puppy. She is now one year old and full of energy and very healthy. So healthy and a bit stubborn. I could have never picked a more precious puppy. She brings me so much pleasure. Irvin was wonderful to work with. Cindy Martlock
• We bought our beautiful little teddy bear, Elli May, from Healthy pups, and have been nothing but pleased. Irvin was as nice as he could be, and was helpful. I had a million questions. All the puppies we looked at were clean, very healthy looking, playful, and showed no signs of abuse etc. We had a tough time making a choice, and he was patient and helped us make our decision. I don't think you can be in business for 40 years abusing animals especially these days with the Internet reviews. Great experience and puppy!! Mark Wilhelm
• My little pup, pixie puff, is a year old and doing great. She is really one of the best dogs I’ve had. So smart and friendly. The moment I saw her she was an extremely bright, healthy, and happy pup and nothing has changed! When we first got her, I asked Irvin tons of questions. I even called him for months after buying little pixie to ask him questions about health and puppy maintenance and he was unbelievably helpful. He really knows what he’s doing when it comes to pups and is so willing to help you find and nurture your forever friend. I recommend folks to him all the time when they are looking for a hypoallergenic dog. His number one priority is the safety and care of your puppy and he will go out of his way to stay in integrity with that mission. Ruthie Odom
• Healthy Pups is a great organization that I obtained a lovely pup. Rusty has made me and my spouse so happy and we are thankful to Healthy Pups for placing Rusty in our lives. Daina Caldwell

• My Teddy, a cavapoo, came from healthy pups. I purchased him in July 2019 - my very first puppy purchase. Irvin was so helpful. Would purchase from him again. Torri Staton
• We got our cavapoo in may and he is such a delight ! He is now 6 months and Is the pup our family needed. They were very professional, I was able to FaceTime and see the puppy to make sure it was legit. The owner is a great guy and communicates efficiently. Thank you so much for our cavapoo, who we named yoshi. I recommend this place to anybody that is looking for a new furmily member. Stinaa Cherie
• We really enjoyed working with them. They were very thorough in explaining important details of our new puppy. She is very healthy and an absolute joy. Brian Zimmerman
• I could not be happier with our new addition. He is just everything we were looking for. Irvin was a pleasure to meet and chat with. My puppy is extremely healthy and incredibly smart. If I ever decide to get him a little brother or sister, this is where I would go. Lisa Henderson
• I got my little Havapoo, Stevie, from HealthyPups in April 2021. She is healthy, well adjusted, sassy, and too smart for her own good. Mr Blackburn was very communicative and helpful both before and after picking up my furbaby. She was definitely worth the drive and the investment! Brenna Ralston
• We love our sweet Beau. Born on March 28th and picked up in June. He’s smart as a whip and gets cuter by the day. Thank you Irvin! We love our “healthy pup” so much. Karen Duff
• I got this beautiful morkiepoo puppy from Healthpups. I enjoyed meeting & talking to Irvin and learning more about how to take care of puppies. He provided me detailed instructions on how to administrate his worm medication and information about his vaccine that I was able to provide to my vet. I had this handsome boy for month and half and he is the happiest and playful little dog I ever had. Crystal Logan
• Great communication! Healthy puppy and such wonderful information to help get you started with your puppy! We love our Shichon (10 months now) and would highly recommend Healthy Pups to everyone! Karen Wright
• We could not be happier getting our little Porter from HealthyPups! When we got him he was already crate trained, a big plus for new dog owners! We were given great instructions on how to care for him. Porter has been a great addition to our family! He’s a sweet dog that loves a schedule and very easy to train! We are very happy with our purchase! Dylan Justus
• I bought a shih poo in December of 2022. She is the sweetest and healthiest dog! She has the best temperament. I am very happy and would highly recommend Healthy Pups. Michele White
• Irvin is the man! I promised him 2 years ago I would write him a review about our experience and I didn’t forget about you. I wanted to make sure I could give my honest opinion so that others looking for a pup could trust my review. Two years, two different dogs and two separate transactions later and we couldn’t be more happy with our new additions. Irvin is a true professional breeder with tons of knowledge. Purchasing process, instructions/support given and post pickup advice is exceptional. What else could you ask for? Just listen and trust his knowledge. Or don’t and have issues but don’t blame him. Two of the best dogs I’ve ever had my whole life. I consider Irvin a friend now and recommend anyone I can. Side note: I also enjoy his online bible studies via Facebook and I’m not a huge church person. Marc Gabriel
• We got our sweet pup 3 months ago! She is a sweet little healthy girl. I would definitely recommend using Healthy Pups!! The whole experience was great. Emily Thomas
• We recently adopted "Molly" our Teddy Bear SchiChon. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. She has been super easy to potty train and we can tell she had been loved on before adoption. Mr Blackburn is super knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make it a smooth and enjoyable process, his facility is top notch. Mike Diamond
• Had a great experience with Irvin. Our pompoo, Teddy, has been sweet, social and has adjusted well. She eats great and sleeps through the night and our family adores her. We haven’t heard her even bark yet. We were sent home with everything we needed to get her started. Irvin was pleasant, responsive and easy to work with. We were pleased at the transaction as well, since he didn’t require an astronomical deposit or payment up front. First class experience. Janette H
• Got my sweet angel of a dog from this breeder almost 4 years ago. She has always been healthy, full of energy and so loving! I would highly recommend healthy pups. I will definitely buy again from this breeder! Linda Mason
• We got our second puppy from here recently. Our first was a sweet great tempered healthy boy. This puppy is so well adjusted and sweet. The vet gave him a clean bill of health on his initial visit. I know they raise a lot of different breeds there but they are doing something right because I couldn’t be happier or more satisfied with both our puppies. The new puppy is a Shichon Teddy Bear. LuAnn Chaney
• We purchased a beautiful female teacup Maltipoo from Healthypups in early January 2020. We’ve been extremely pleased and happy with our little girl. She is healthy and happy, and a joy in our lives. I believe this is a reflection of the superb care she received from this breeder. He is knowledgeable and was always available to chat when I called for information or videos of my puppy. He was helpful in educating us about potential stress related to transporting puppies home. Also, he discussed the special care needs of these smaller breeds with us. I would highly recommend Mr. Blackburn and Healthy Puppies. Thank you Irvin! Christine Cushen
• My husband and I got our sweet Marley a Malti-poo this past January 2023. Irvin was very knowledgeable and kept us informed before my husband picked her up. She had already been chipped and he sent her home to us with food and a bag with meds/vitamins to give her the first 10 days. She was very calm on the way home and it only took a couple of days for her to feel completely at home with us. She was spayed a few weeks ago and did very well. She has a wonderful personality and we're so happy with our choice of Healthy Pups and working with Irvin to adopt our new family member! Connie H
• We adopted our little love almost two months ago from Healthy Pups. The entire experience was wonderful! Irvin took the time to be sure we knew all we needed to about our Fruggle. It is very obvious that Healthy Pups is a professional, loving group with extensive knowledge. Thank you Irvin for our healthy pup Iney! Vickie Norris
• I would like to thank Mr Blackburn for my healthy toy Maltipoo. Bentley will be 5 months old 1/11/2026. Healthy Pups really takes care of the puppies. When I took Bentley to the vet, his dr was so impressed at how healthy he was. She was impressed with Mr Blackburns shots and schedules and all his paperwork. Thank you again Healthy Pups. If you are looking for a Healthy puppy, please reach out to this company. Nancy Wellman
• I am the girl who picked up a jackrat back around new years- we're in New York City.  I just want to let you know that he is the greatest thing I could have ever added to my life.  New York is a very dog friendly city.  I take him to the dog run every day, and dogs can run free off the leash in the park before 9am. It took me a month to house train him, and he hasn't had an accident yet!  Sometimes he goes to school with me when I teach classes and the students love him.  He also frequents the New York bar scene- there are quite a few dog friendly bars around here. I named him Torque(it means "the moment of force").  How's that for anything related to a jack russell terrier?!  I'm sending you a photo that I took with my cell phone.  Thanks so much for being a terrific breeder.  This dog is exactly what I was looking for- and so much more.  Good luck with your business.  I may be back for another jackrat puppy in a couple of years. All the best to you and your canine ranch. – Sincerely, Marissa Byers 
• Jackadoodle update! Your little girl is doing great.. What a Character she is and SO much personality, we love her!!! By the way we named her Zany.. cause she is wild and Zany and a little clown.. She is doing great on house training..getting along with my big dogs,my 140lb Rott  is afraid of her  when she goes in zoom mode..HAHAHAHA She is trying to chase the cats so we are working on that..Just wanted to give you a progress report  and say THANKS!!! – Sue Martin 
• Today is Daisy's birthday!  She is one year old and is a joy to us.  She is 14 pounds of sheer energy and really keeps us on our toes.  She is incredibly smart and quick!  Thank you for providing such a wonderful puppy to us! – Mike and Louise Hanville 
• I just wanted to thank you so much for being so straight forward and honest with me when I was looking to purchase a puppy.  You advised me that in my situation a rat terrier would be my best option and it definitly was.  You sold me a little, I think it was Tri-Pearl you called it, rat terrier about a month and a half ago and he has just been amazing!  I named him Sammy, and he and I are getting along amazingly!  You were honest and helpful and sold me and older puppy, he was about six months old when I bought him.  You understood that I did not have 4 or 5 hundred dollars to really be purchasing a dog with, and you didn't try to convince me that a younger more expensive dog would be a better choice.  I could tell that you truly cared about your customers and the dogs that you were selling, wanting to make sure that it was a proper situation for the animal so that both the dog and the owner would be happy.  I have attached a few pictures of Sammy now.  Again, thank you so much for your help and honesty! – Stephanie Rhoney
• We bought a 5 month old male rat terrier from you back in late Feb. of this year. He is the most wonderful house dog! He is SO intelligent and a great companion. After trying several names, he started answering to the name 'Buddy', so that's what is on his tag. He still isn't crazy about getting his bath, but does tolerate it with a gentle demeanor. He even lets me paint his toe nails; of course, since he's a 'guy', I bought him blue nail polish with sparkles in it, so he doesn't have to wear pink all the time. When he goes to the groomer, he gets a new bandana, which he will wear til he's ready to go to bed. At which time, he goes prancing down the hall to our bed and hops right up in the middle, where he sleeps all night! Thank you and God bless you and your family, – The Ebert Family 
• I bought a yorkie-rat terrier mix from you about a year and a half ago. She is the sweetest,smartest dog I have ever seen.(and cutest ...but I guess that is because I love her so much) She really does have the sweetest personality and she is so much fun. She makes me smile every time I look at her and she is the best company.She loves me but she is  also very loving towards just about everyone. I like that,because if something were to happen to me I know she could love someone else as her owner. And believer me, I have had numerous offers from people wanting to be her godparent. Thank you so much. And if I decide to get another puppy,I will definitely be contacting you, rather than someone else. – Barbara Fowler 
• You were right!!!!! This is is Brenda Roberson, I came to your place to see a dog. I know you remember me!  Well, not long after I left your place, I found just the dog I was looking for and I have paid for it dearly. The dog has sarcoptic mange.  Believe it or not two Vets at the same clinic did not treat the dog for this. But I was transferred to a different city and there is no doubt about it. I called the breeder to inform her and she told me that there was no way!! The breeder became very angry and upset with me. My "dream" dog is nearly a year old and still not house broken and today the vet informed me she would require additional treatments. Today, I decided for the good of my bank account that enough is enough!! I like dogs and want a dog as a pet. But I should have listened to you!! Please feel free to post my email!! I will come to see you in the spring. I would like a runt of the little male rat terrier. MMMmmm, which is smaller the toy or the mini? I can handle 8 to 10 pounds but nothing bigger. This dog will travel with me and live in motel rooms.  I am planning a trip to Alaska and the pup is going!! – Best Regards, Brenda 
• We just wanted to send our thanks to your company for our new family member. We purchased a nine month old Rat Terrier from you, who we have named "Mr.T" because he is a mini replica of a great dane we used to have named Taggy. We were a little worried at first because he pouted very bad for several days and didn't want to eat and was so scared he just hid out, but the wonderful part is that he has taken to our Two year old son Richie wonderfully and they are the best of buds. He follows my son everywhere, sleeps right next to him at night, and even whines if he can't find him like a mommy who's lost her puppy, it's too cute. He has been wonderful with allowing my son to give him hugs and kisses, and has never bit him or tried to hurt him in any way. We were so pleased with our purchase and just wanted to send our thanks for making the buying process such a breeze and for making our son the happiest kid around. I couldn't be happier with how well he has adapted to our family and especially to my son, who we bought him for originally. We will be recommending you to everyone we know. I've enclosed a photo of "Mr.T" and Richie watching TV together on the couch. Thanks again. – The Silvas Family 
• Hello. My name is Amy. I bought a toy rat terrier from you about 2 years ago. She was the best pup ever! I named her Olivia Jane...she was very spoiled. Unforunately I recently lost her. She was hit by a car and I had to put her down. I feel as if I have lost my best friend. I remember coming to your kennel to pick out my new pup, and she just kept speaking to me. I had to have her...she was meant for me! She is the second dog I have purchased from you. (I also have a hairless...although he's a daddy's boy!) I just wanted to write you and say that I recomend you to everyone I meet. Your facilities are great and the pups I've bought from you are the best I could ever ask for! I will miss my little dog very much. She was truly the best ever. Thank you for her. – AMY 
• I want to say “thank you” for all of your advice when visiting your facility in November 2005.  I purchased the last Beaga-Poo in your litter, a male, and brought him back to my home in Greensboro.  I cannot be happier.  “Winston” is the most healthy, loving and affectionate dog I have ever met.  I live downtown Greensboro and he draws more attention than I would have ever imagined.  I can hardly walk more than a block without someone wanting to “meet” the little guy. I have a neighbor who has fallen in love with Winston.    She asked for you number and I directed her to the website with strict instructions to read, read and read.    Do you have a litter available now and/or do you plan to breed another litter of Beaga-Poos any time soon?  I am constantly being asked by folks and was curious. Thanks again for your time and for the wonderful pet. – Regards, J. Williams 
• Hi. I don't know if you remember me, but a little over a year ago my daughter and I visited you and bought a little chocolate hairless terrier female. My Mom had just passed away, and the puppy, Sadie, was a great comfort to me. My husband's job recently got us relocated to Florida. We are a little bit out in the country with wood in our backyard. Last week, my daughters and I were on the patio in the backyard. Sadie kept barking and barking at something  near a bush. I assumed it was our cat, but when she did not stop barking and running and lunging at this thing, I went to look. It was a 3 or four foot long Cottonmouth snake, all coiled up at the base of the bush. My husband and I killed the snake. Thank God for Sadie! If she had not alerted us, the snake could have bitten me or worse, one of the children. We are at least 20 minutes from the nearest hospital, so that bite could have tragic consequences. I am so grateful she did not get bitten either. She is the best dog, definitely the smartest I have ever had, and so sweet. I have allergies, but I can cuddle with her and let her get in my bed with no problems. I am a devoted hairless terrier fan now. – Rachael 
• Thank you so much for our puggle...he has been a great addition to the family.  My son and boyfriend love him so much.  His name is now Mister Henry Puggles...named by my 4 year old son, Brayden.  You have to call him Mister Puggles or Brayden will correct you...it's been great fun.  Mister Puggles gets along with our Blue Heeler, Hannah and our cat Simon.  This dog is wonderful...I cannot thank you enough!Hey I don't know if you remember me, I was a customer for you when I was 16, I bought an adorable chihuahua that I named after Paris Hilton, I just wanted to give ya updates, she's 2 years old now, she's doing great, running around full of energy, loves riding in the car, she's attached @ my side, she's the best and I'm really interested in getting another puppy from  you, once I get the money saved up. You can use my e-mail on your webpage if you'd like as an very happy owner of a hybrid chihuahua. I attached some pix of her, she's the cutest!!  Well hope to see you sometime soon to buy another baby. Thanks.  – Marcus Cook 
• My family and I came to your home in May and bought a yorkie/rat terrier puppy. I just wanted to say Thank You, for having this dog there for us to buy. She is a wonderful blessing to our family. She has slept with my daughter every night and has been one of the best pets we have ever had!! She is very healthly and we are planning on spaying her around Christmas. She is such a wonderful little dog for the kids and adults. This little girl has even been to church!! I just thought I'd let you know how she's doing. – Thanks again, Marty, Angela, Megan, Jacob, and Pepper Fulk 
• My girlfriend, Jen, and I bought a yorkie-rat puppy from you at the end of last december. (we came with Jen's mom, Deborah, who got a litter mate.) We just wanted to give you an update on how he's doing, since it's almost his "birthday." :) We named him Arthur, and he's is quite a handful! He gets a walk or run every day, so he's solid muscle. He enjoys doing tricks, and was the top of his puppy training class at PetSmart. He's highly intelligent (you were right about that!) and can do lots of tricks. He wears a backpack when we go hiking and carries his own food and water bowl. Here are a few pictures. One is Arthur with his litter mate, whose name is Amos. Feel free to put them on your site if you want. Thanks so much for breeding such a great dog! He's our pride and joy! We recommend you to everyone! PS. I also got very bored one day and made him a website: www.myspace.com/arthurpooper Take care! – Erin Ellenburg 
• Don't know if you will get this or remember us, but we bought a yorkie/rat, broken coat from you in December.  He is the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful dog I have ever met in my life!  He is the smartest guy ever.  We live in Erwin, TN and you gave us some of your CD's to pass around. Hey, you really have a great voice!   We gave away the CD's you gave us and people are enjoying you!  Now back to Reggie!  I have never had such a loving animal.  He gets along great with the 2 cats we have.  The tomcat tries to play with him but Reggie is very rambunctious and energetic and sometimes Red, even though he is bigger than Reggie, gets a little scared!  They are just funny together.  Just wanted to say THANKS!!!!  I have referred other people to your website and hopefully in the future, you will have more people from Tennessee come and buy precious babies.  God bless you always and thanks for having special animals that are healthy, happy, intelligent and so very loving! Cathy & John. – Cathy Morris
• I don't know if you remember me or not me and my entire family came to get a pup in December. A little black and tan dauchund mix. He has been the best dog, we named him Alex. He's very smart I had him house broke in a week!! He has been great with my children. I am so glad I came to your kennel, even though we drove all the way from Ashe County,NC. I was really impressed with the love and care you gave to the dogs, and the information you gave their new families. I have referred others to you. Thanks so much!!! – Rachel, Aaron, Hunter, Avery & Jacob Griffin 
• Hi there: You have the best informative website on this subject I have ever encountered and should be a must-read! I have looked and searched for a Yorkie-breed, only now to have completely changed my mind, thanks to your information, which I knew nothing about.  While I don't particularly love the rat-terriers as you, you have some breeds that are just as "adorable" as what I have been looking for.  Thanks so much for taking the time to be irritated with us to be so frank and forthright.  I laughed a lot, I can't even begin to imagine your experiences...should be good book material...Wilkesboro is a favorite area of ours, and I hope to contact you soon to visit for an "older" beaga-poo (i think that's right), or a yorkie-rat, as you so explained -- for cost reasons (sorry - yikes). I want to thank you so much for the puppy we bought for my daughter. It was the black/tan toy rat. She is up to three pounds, and doing great. She even plays with our pygmy goat! Of course she is VERY spoiled, has to sleep on our bed, etc. She has been a great pet, that loves the whole family. She was very easy to house-train. My daughter is thrilled. We couldn`t have gotten her a better pet. I know you and I had our concerns about getting her at 8 weeks old, but she has done very well. As far as l;eaving her alone most of the time, well by the time we got her home, if we left her alone, all she did was cry. She is a very "people-dog" I will send pictures, as soon as I get them developed. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!  – Lynn and Leah Branch 
• Hey.I just wanted to tell you how much we love our new little bella.  I just bought her from you 3-7-08 shes the little chocolate rat terrier.  Shes the best dog I have ever had.  She plays with my pitbull cocoa and she loves our little girl Carmen.  She hasn’t had any accidents in the house or her Midwest crate. Shes simply the best and nothing less. Thanks! – Christinia 
• Dear Healthy Pups, We just wanted to send you a few pictures of our dog Clark Howard Niedergall that we bought from you last February.  We appreciate so much the advice you give on your website and we have found Clark to be a perfect fit for our family.  Hope you like the pictures! – Sincerely, Brent and Christy Niedergall 
• Dear Healthy Pups, Last September, my boyfriend, Matt and I came to your farm and purchased a little Black and White Rat Terrier. I have meant to write you for months, but hadn’t sat down and done it! We just wanted to tell you (as many on your site have, I see) that we have been just thrilled with our little puppy.  We named her Elle. She is certainly the smartest, most easily trained puppy either of us have ever had (and we’ve had many dogs growing up). She was housebroken within a few weeks, even when she was just so little! She was afraid of many things when we brought her home. Like stairs and plastic bags (which she STILL doesn’t like) and wind and cats she saw in the neighborhood. We called her the ‘fraidy cat’ for the first couple of months. She has seemed to conquer all of her fears though, and has grown up into one tough little dog! She LOVES to play with her stuffed squirrel and would chase it around until she passed out if we let her! She seems though, just as content at times to just lay in my lap. We just wanted to thank you for all of your knowledge and advice. I’m so glad we discovered her breed. Should we ever get an additional puppy, you can be sure we’ll be visiting you again!I’m attaching some photos of our little joy. (Incidentally, we didn’t notice until we got home, but she has a black marking on her side that’s in the perfect shape of a heart!) She’s wonderful! Best of luck to you and God bless you for putting your heart into something that brings happiness to so many. – Sincerely, Kristen, Matt and Elle Charlotte, NC 
• Irvin, My name is Liz, my boyfriend Jeff and I (from Mooresville) recently bought a puggle pup from you. I just wanted to write and thank you. We named the pup Jersey and she is doing great. She adapted very well to crate training. She loves to cuddle and sit on our laps and is doing great with potty training. The qualities that she possesses show what kind of care she received before we got her. She has brought so much joy to our lives and we can't thank you enough for that. Every time we go to the pet store with her people always come up to us and say how beautiful she is. We have given your website out to a few people so far and would recommend you to anyone.Thank you again! – Liz and Jeff 
• Hi! You can put me on this list since I do send everyone I know your way and we just love the two babies we have bought fom you! We bought the Chihuahua Hybrid and the Yorkie/Yorkie Rat from you! Both are wonderful and we want to come back soon for either another chihuahua hybrid or a small rat terrier! My name is – Tabitha White 
• My wife and I purchased scooter from you almost five years ago. I can not begin to tell you how much we love him. He is more of a person than he is a dog.  He is great and very smart. He is the best investment we have ever made. I only wish that I had purchased two of him. Below is a recent photo of him. Thanks for breeding such great dogs. – Jim & Judy Kendrick  Eden, NC  (Rat Terrier owners) 
• We bought a rat terrier puppy from you last August. We would be happy to serve as a reference for you. After reading every page of your website, we came to your kennel thinking we wanted another Chihuahua.  We left with a darling rat terrier.  We never looked back and have not had one ounce of regret about our decision. This puppy, which out daughter named, (Princess) Aurora is the most friendly and happy dog.  I am continually finding myself laughing out loud at her antics.  She will cuddle up with anyone; play with anyone or any dog (or cat) and is, as you said, the absolutely best family pet that we have ever had. Aurora is the first dog that actually plays with any toy that you give her.  We can’t walk by a dog toy aisle anymore without picking something up for  her because of her sheer joy! Please leave the email address below as a reference contact for you if needed!  Thank you for providing our healthy pup at a fair price! – Jay and Beth Rickerts, Summerfield NC
• We got a tri-blue rat terrier from you in January. Talulah is the sweetest dog and loves all people and animals. We just wanted to say thank you for helping us adopt her. – Scott and Amy 
• Hi, Irvin! Hope you had a blessed Christmas....just wanted you to know that we are thoroughly enjoying our yorkie-beaglepoo that we bought from you in October. The pup, Angel, has adjusted very well and brings us smiles and laughs every day.  I believe she thinks she is part human.  Thank you for a wonderful experience.  – Todd & Lisa Cox 
• Hey, we bought a black and tan rat terrier from you a few years ago. She has been the best dog ever.  She was easily house trained and she is one of the sweetest dogs. I would reccomend you guys to anyone who wants a good pet:) We're now looking to buy another dog, and will be looking on your website and probably contacting you soon:) thanks so much for the wonderful pet.  -Katelyn Sebastian 
• I hope you remember me.  I purchased a  "teenager" puggle from you the day before Valentine's day 2009.  I was looking for a small female to help replace our 11 year Labrador that had died of cancer last year. She left behind a very lonely 5 year old Labrador sister, and a heartbroken wife.  I showed you pictures of our lonely Lab and you recommended a puggle.  I picked an 8 month old female that had markings that looked like my old German Sheppard.  Within one hour of bringing her home she and her new big sister hit it off.  She runs to the fence and starts to bark at the dogs in the next yard.  When they start barking back she immediately runs back to big sister and hides underneath her.  At other times big sister run over to protect her.  She is working on mom, and is almost there.  Mom was with our older Lab when she was put down, and she still hurts from it, but she is already having heart to heart talks with our puggle.  As far as health, our vet checked her the day after I brought her home, gave her a rabies shot and declared her "healthy as a horse".  For your information she will be spayed in two weeks, but the neat part is our vet will perform this with laser surgery. He told us this type of surgery is less invasive, doesn't require stitches, the dog has less pain and a shorter recovery period. I highly recommend this to anyone having their dog spayed or neutered. I have enclosed a picture of the two girls together, and one of her. Please use me as reference, just let me know and I can provide the information to folks who want to contact me.  You can tell she likes sticks. -Gilbert Kozlowski 
• Good Afternoon, Our family purchased a blue merle Rattle Puppy on Father's Day this year. I just want to let everyone know who visits your website that this puppy is one of the best we have ever owned. The male puppy "Draper" is the calmest and gentlest  puppy I have ever seen. He does not chew on anything except his puppy toys. He is also very mellow and loves riding in the car. Everyone that sees him insists on petting him and knowing what kind of dog he is. I recommend everyone that is looking for a puppy to check out your website. Our veterinarian was excited to see how much care that you give your puppies and that you document each dog as if you only had one dog in your kennel. Thank you again! Lisa Sheely, Shelby, NC 
• As I promised, I'm sending you this email to post on your website for potential dog owners. I decided to get a dog this past May (2009). Now many of my friends and family thought I was a bit crazy for traveling from Philadelphia to NC on the weekend just for a dog. I knew it was not ridiculous because of the experience my sister and parents had purchasing puppies from a breeder closer to home just a year ealier. As stated on your website, these puppies all had to go to the vet for health issues. which added up very quickly. Last year my sister found you on the internet and purchased a cairn terrier, that had no health problems and still doesn't have any health problems after one year. Her name is Sprockette (named after the Fraggle Rock show) and boy does she have energy and is loving too. When I decided to get my own dog I knew I'd be making the trek down too because in the long-run I knew I would be getting a dog that wouldn't end up costing me more due to health problems. Sprockette and Kiko (my YorkieRat) became good friends on the trip home. Kiko has continued to warm her way into the hearts of everyone in my family and everyone that she meets. You picked out the perfect dog for me, which I am greatful for. She's smart and spunky. She's already learned how to sit and lay down. She romps around with my sisters 3 dogs and my parents 3 dogs. She also loves to snuggle up and sleep with me. I can't wait to see what she'll do next. Now that I have one dog, I'm considering getting another one in the near future, so when I do you'll be seeing me again!  (You can put my email address on your website, in case any potential customers wantto contact me) Thanks Again, Danielle Henon
• Hi Irwin, I am writing to let you know how happy we are with our new Puggle who we named Evan. He is fun, adorable and perfect for our family.  He has such a great personality. I also wanted to let you know, we entered him in the Bailey Road 9TH Annual Dog Show.  He came in 2ND Place for the "Cutest Puppy".  After the show, several people came up to us and said they thought he should have won 1ST!  We agreed :) I have attached a picture for you. Thanks and I will recommend Healthy Pups to all our friends. Barbara Parker In love with my new puppy, "Raelin".  E me if you want to learn about her.  Photos on facebook. Brianne McCoy 
• My name is Brandy Hutchens and my husband and I visited you in April of 2010.  We purchased a red dapple doxie from you.  We wanted to write and say how overjoyed we are with him.  We named him Luigi and he just celebrated his first birthday in January.  He is full of energy, loves us dearly, and just the cutest dog in the neighborhood!  Thank you for helping us to expand our family.  Please feel free to post this or use us as a reference. Brandy and Aaron Hutchens 
• We purchased our baby from you almost two years ago.  She is the best dog anyone could ever have.  She is a poodle/beagle mix and we named her Gracie.  She is so loving and very spoiled.  We are so happy and wanted to thank you for your advice and information in picking the right puppy for our family. Jennifer Crump 
• Hello, I'm sending pictures of my teddy bear(Peaches is her name)that I got from Healthy Pups. She celebrates her 1st birthday today. We are very happy together & so glad that I found you all. My best, Mary Pickering 
• I just wanted to let you know that we are really enjoying our puppy Mr. D that we purchased from HP this week.  He has adjusted to his "forever home" rather well.  He is definitely Sarah's dog.  He will not leave her side and whimpers whenever she is not in the house.  Of course, most of our neighborhood thinks he is so cute and that we are very lucky to have such a pup.  We think the same thing.  I introduced him to our vet this week and she says he is a perfect puppy. Thank you so much for having Mr. D available for us.  We wish you God's Blessings. Bill & Sarah  Sent from Bill DeLapp's iPad

A brief lesson in pet politics is important to understanding reviews and public perceptions of issues. The rescue industry of our country is about making free money in doing as little work as possible. They will stop at nothing to tug on your heart strings and convince you to send money to save the animals. See those sad commercials on TV and realize that in most cases, only 1% of those donations go to pet shelters. Rescued dogs are dumped at the public shelters for Animal Control to care for while they beg public for money to help them.

However, the most corrupt part of the story is making you feel sorry for dogs kept by breeders while making you believe that all puppies should be born in human homes, and that you should adopt a puppy at the shelter instead of buying a puppy. When you get to the shelter they always have a good selection of large mostly pit bull mixes, NOT the small hypoallergenic puppy that grandma wants for her lap dog, and not everyone can afford the extreme vet bills that are more likely to occur in shelter or pet owner puppies. Also, when you get online to search for a puppy, 95% of the independent puppy for sale ads are scammers soliciting deposits for puppies that don't exist. Almost all puppies online are being sold by brokers who have never even seen the puppy parents and know nothing about the puppy. 

Breeding a house dog can be one of the most tragic mistakes that pet owners can make. Reproductive behaviors in dogs not spayed/neutered at the proper time are the number one reason that house dogs are evicted to shelters. It can also be a huge mistake to buy a puppy from a home breeder because most of those puppies have already had the opportunity to pee in a floor that is similar to the floor of your home, and may be confused/harder to house train. Also, human homes allow people and dogs in and out with no quarantine, and puppies kept in these environments are much more likely to be accidentally exposed to viruses brought in by careless humans before the 3rd vaccine is done. We love you and your puppy, so we have spent millions to prevent heartbreak and vet bills. Our nursery is as nice as most public boarding kennels, and all surfaces are made of metal, contrete, and plastics that can be sterilized twice daily. We have sold puppies on this property since 1982. We are very proud of our puppy nursery. N C Farm Bureau will no longer allow us to take public into the nursery itself due to insurance regulations, but with our newly installed security system we are able to show you the nursery LIVE from the camera system. We may be the only seller in your google search that didn't buy your puppy from an out of state puppy farm that you cannot visit in person.

Having sold puppies to thousands of families over the past 44 years, with only 20 negative reviews, we have far better honest reviews than any other seller. Some of these reviews are 30 years old, and were caused by inexperienced vets, vaccine reactions in puppies before we learned about tither levels to prevent them, and handling stress. Vaccine reactions can cause sickness or death in puppies with weak immune systems, just as covid shots caused extreme problems in humans. Many vets do not recognize problems caused by vaccine reactions and tell the puppy buyer that the breeder is responsible for the giardia bloom, respiratory issue, temporary heart murmur, etc. No one can care for living things without incident. We also have reviews left by pretend buyer rescue hecklers seeking rescue industry cash rewards for helping locate breeders to target and shut down, plus 4 reviews left by one family:)

We do not spend time asking for reviews. We do not filter reviews, fabricate reviews, use reputation management software, or reinvent our business so the reviews go away. A very low percentage of happy people will leave a positive review, but a very high percentage of people will leave a negative review. You will learn much about issues and trust us more if you read our RESPONSES to those 20 reviews. A few puppy buyers make poor decisions in caring for their puppy, create problems for their puppy, and then blame their vet or breeder.  Puppies are subject to the same health issues that we consider normal in human children. Most issues are caused by environmental irritations and poor choices in using treats, food, and pet products that can cause problems. The difference is that many people blame everything that happens to their puppy on their breeder or vet, but they will not hold fast food, doctor, or hospital responsible for the same issues that occur in their children. If human health care was held to the same standard as pet health care, every hospital in our country would soon be shut down. We at Healthy Pups are about preventing puppy problems through good ownership decisions. Let our experience help protect your puplife! 

I have had many calls from angry dog owners who blamed the best vets I have ever known for killing their dogs. People call me angry at their groomer, their boarding kennel, etc. Every person who deals with public must deal with people who will turn against them due to misconceptions, no common sense, and bad attitudes. No one can deal with public without negative reviews.  Because vets and pet owners make mistakes and blame others, and because tiny puppies are fragile and must be cared for perfectly, a puppy seller or website that has no NEGATIVE reviews is a scammer with FAKE reviews!  

Have you ever wondered why so many rescue people stage stories on television, post fabricated negative reviews online,  and create false blogs under anonymous screen names in social media (some even pretend to have visited or bought pets) to convince you that HealthyPups, AND all other kennels are a puppy mill?  Why do "humane societies" and rescue organizations attack breeders through media and brainwashed disciples, begging for your money to save the "abused and sick animals from inhumane conditions",  instead of soliciting legislators to enact tougher spay/neuter laws? Tougher laws could prevent so many of these unwanted large breed mixes from being born. They know that very few of those wanting house pets would adopt a large breed mix even if small breeds were not available from professional breeders. Is it possible that someone wants your money? Who is it that is really guilty of extreme animal exploitation? Only 1% of the money collected by the rescue industry goes to shelters.  Attention BIG RECUE, please use the millions  per year in donations you are collecting from those sad commercials and kennel raids to spay and neuter America's dogs and cats instead of putting 99% of it in your pocket.....PROBLEM SOLVED!

It is sad that 90% of those who will take time to leave reviews are angry misinformed political hecklers.  Most happy people won't take the time to review. Public doesn't realize that no one can deal with people and living things without incident because much of science is a scam that disagrees with reality, and living things are fragile and subject to proper care after going home. Those who believe in science are often angry because of the DNA testing scam, which is accurate only if their puppy comes from the same marker group as the DNA test marker itself. Many purebred dogs will not have an agreeable DNA test, and no dog with diverse genetics so as to allow for good health, intelligence, and good personality is likely to get a matching DNA result.

We have repeatedly seen littermate siblings test as having no ancestors in common. When you read reviews of established repeat sellers that do not contain complaints of viruses, DNA mismatch, or parasites, and "genetic" diseases, you know you are being scammed by a seller with fake reviews generated by reputation management software or cleansing companies. All of these issues are often blamed on breeders by inexperienced vets who have vaccinated puppies too small and too young that caused giardia blooms, heart murmurs, or a vaccine-induced virus. Poor choices in foods and commercial doggie treats can result in puppies quickly developing diseases that vets most often diagnose as genetic issues.  Again, politically bias rescue hecklers, science junkies, or kids who failed to read our material and follow instructions are likely to leave negative reviews. Don't be the next victim of a corrupt and sad worldview, please call and let us help if you have questions about your puppy! (336) 957-3609
