I can’t wait to be back and to work with Allison again!Posted on BillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a good experience here. Alice was seriously the best—super easy to talk to, answered all our questions without making us feel rushed, and just made the whole thing feel really comfortable. You can tell she genuinely cares. We’ll definitely be back :)Posted on Daniela OviedoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to Georgina for the amazing service she provided us on Sunday. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind throughout our visit. We came in with our 3 kids, who naturally wanted to see all the different puppies, and Georgina handled everything with such patience and a constant smile. We didn’t plan on leaving with a puppy that day, but thanks to Georgina’s guidance and understanding, we found our perfect boy, sweet, gentle, and exactly what our family was looking for. She truly made the experience special and memorable for our family. We would 100% recommend this place, especially Georgina. Everyone there is friendly, welcoming, and never pressures you into making a decision. It was such a positive experience from start to finish.Posted on Sophia bTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to start off by saying the man in the front was amazing and so helpful. Me and my sister went in hoping to purchase a dog. we kindly asked to spend some time with one of the puppies we were interested in. we were taken to a little room with hard wood floors and no toys. everything was going good until i’m assuming the bald owner. Came over and gave us a nasty look. we then walked out to go look at other puppies and he started off by saying “the other employee did you a favor for even letting you see the dog”, and told us if we were not buying to not waste time they were not to play with and he wouldn’t want us contaminating the dogs bc we were from the “street.” after that it was such a awkward and uncomfortable situation. Not to add the dogs looked extremely poorly maintained with matting and barely even had blankets in their small cages. if things went different we were seriously going to buy from them but after that interaction we had no interest in supporting their busines. Highly do not recommend going here.Posted on ELIE HOBEIKATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome and friendly staff. We spent the whole afternoon with the puppies to get acquainted with them. Highly recommended.Posted on Annmarie CristianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CT Breeder is such a great place!! The staff are knowledgeable, and take their time to walk you through the process. The store is clean and doesn't smell like a pet store, the puppies are always clean, happy, and playful. I got my boy here, and when I'm ready I'll be back to get him a brother or a sister.Posted on Gloria OchoaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Believe the other reviews about poor responses, as we witnessed it in person. I came to this store with my mother, sister, daughter, and nephew, to share what should have been an exciting moment. Instead, it turned into an uncomfortable and disappointing customer experience. The male staff member assisting us, a person of color, was excellent. He was welcoming, patient, and professional while allowing us to spend time with a few of the puppies that we were eyeing. At no point did he indicate we were doing anything wrong while interacting with the dog. He treated us like normal customers, which is exactly how it should be. Unfortunately, the experience changed the moment an older white man, who appeared to be the manager, approached us. Without speaking respectfully, he abruptly said, "so which one are you getting? Then, proceeded to say "be sure not to drop him because if you drop it, it breaks then it's over". Mind you we had been playing with the dog for a little over 10 minutes WITH the staff member present the entire time. My mom told him this, and the man rudely says “Yea well I have a policy. My small dogs go on the floor." The tone was condescending, dismissive, and completely unnecessary. After that, we told the kids to give the dogs back, and he asked which one were we getting. My mom told him none due to his attitude, and he said "then go" and made a swatting gesture to my mom (super disrespectful as a man and just in general). As a Hispanic/Black family, the interaction felt very much like racial profiling. Instead of being treated like customers who came ready to do business, we were treated like people who didn’t belong there or couldn’t be trusted. Ironically, we walked in fully prepared to purchase a puppy, a $4,000+ sale. Because of the manager’s attitude and assumptions, we walked right back out. Let me be very clear: we absolutely belonged there, and we absolutely could afford the dog. Businesses talk a lot about customer service, but respect and basic decency should be the bare minimum. When management can’t offer that, it says everything about the environment they’re running. The male staff member who helped us was genuinely kind and professional. He deserves recognition. Unfortunately, the behavior of management completely overshadowed the experience. Hopefully ownership takes feedback like this seriously, because assumptions and poor treatment of customers will continue to cost this business more than just one sale.
