We had a wonderful experience with Nicole at Badland Kennel. From the start, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly passionate about her dogs and breeding program. One thing we especially loved was the weekly updates — Nicole sent pictures and videos every Monday leading up to pickup, and we always looked forward to seeing how the puppies were growing. It really showed how much care and attention she gives them from day one. Nicole was transparent and supportive throughout, and it’s clear she puts a lot of time and effort into raising her puppies and communicating with their new families. We would confidently recommend Nicole and Badland Kennel to anyone looking for a responsible and dedicated breeder.

Nicole was great work with through the adoption process and for coordinating the pickup. In particular, I loved getting the Monday videos of Buckshot/Huckleberry leading up to the pickup.

You can truly tell how much she cares about her dogs and the families they go to. She kept us updated regularly, answered all of our questions with patience, and made the whole experience so smooth. Our puppy is absolutely amazing—healthy, happy, and with the sweetest temperament. You can see the love and care he received early on. We couldn’t have asked for a better breeder or a better puppy. We’re so grateful to Nicole and highly recommend Badland Kennel to anyone looking for a new furry family member!

Nicole was so easy to deal with and she always answered my questions completely. I could not be more thrilled to have my baby Opal (Labrador) at home with me. She is beautiful and thanks to Nicole and Badland Kennel they made it all possible. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a beautiful lab puppy.
