    We reached out to Donna about one of her pups and she immediately responded with kind, warm greetings and tons of helpful information. After a short discussion and agreeing on an available pup we made a deposit. Donna guided us through the entire process. I can’t say enough about Donna’s experience in raising healthy, smart, well socialized puppies. She has over 30 years experience in breeding pedigree dogs and it shows! Our puppy was healthy, very intelligent, well socialized, desensitized, and crate trained! She did most of the hard work for us from day one. This is rare and unexpected from a breeder, but we were so grateful for all of her efforts and training to get our pup off to a wonderful start. Donna went out of her way to meet us to pick up our puppy and had tons of great information ready for us. She made the entire process so much easier than expected. Our puppy was so well behaved from day one. It was evident that Donna worked hard to instill good manners, and early training to develop a healthy mind and a healthy pup. Our puppy has no problem with us touching her paws, ears, teeth, belly, and just overall being handled. Donna clearly spent a lot of time getting her used to being handled, groomed, and working with other dogs. Her vaccines, records, routines, food, and supplements were explained in detail and I can’t express how important that was for us. Donna also made sure to take the puppies on car rides often to desensitize them and make them road trip ready! Our puppy has been the most intelligent, eager to learn puppy we’ve ever had. She loves to learn, has healthy play habits, is good with other dogs, and her temperament is loving and obedient. Of course she is all puppy and loves to wild out, but she also does great just chilling along side us on a calm Sunday afternoon. Overall this has been the best experience we’ve ever had adopting a puppy and one we race about often. Donna, thank you so much for being such a great foundation for our puppy! Without a doubt, Donna is a grade A+ breeder with tons of experience, knowledge, and a great understanding of what a puppy needs. I would highly recommend Donna C of Card Family Ranch for your next puppy!

    Donna was very responsive from our first message. She made the process simple and smooth with her knowledge of the dogs and good dog app. You can tell she loves her dogs and is passionate about them. Our new puppy Abby has clung to us since we’ve had her and is already very sociable and comfortable. Couldn’t have went to a better breeder to find me and my wife’s first puppy together!

    Donna is great to work with. She helped us through the whole process of choosing our puppy and then getting ready to take her home, We have our Apple for about 3 weeks now and she has such a great personality that comes from the care she was given by Donna. Apple now has our 3 year old Australian Labradoodle under her spell. Donna has made herself available if future needs arise. But best of all is that we have an absolutely gorgeous, well adjusted, health and happy puppy!

    Donna was very clear about her puppies, ie breed, shots and health. She was willing to meet us where it was convenient for us. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her care of animals and how she treated her customers. I would recommend her highly. Albine

    I recently purchased a puppy from Donna, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From the very first message, Donna was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She answered all of my questions with patience and provided regular updates, photos, and even videos of Rose. When it was time to bring her home, everything was so well-organized. She came with all health records, vaccinations up to date, and even a little care package with toys, and a blanket that smelled like mom and littermates — such a thoughtful touch! It’s clear that Donna’s puppies are raised with a lot of love and care. Rose is healthy, well-socialized, and has such a sweet temperament — you can tell she came from a responsible, caring breeder. I would absolutely recommend Donna to anyone looking for a happy, healthy puppy raised the right way. Thank you again for giving me my new best friend! 🐾💛
