    Rooster “Roo” is doing great. We enjoyed our experience with Charles our breeder very much. He was very responsive throughout the process. The incite he gave was very helpful and you could tell how much he loved his babies. Roo is full of personality along with stubbornness, the name Rooster is very fitting as she wakes us up before our alarm clock at 5am lol, but if we let her come into our bed she will sleep well past 9 am. She plays hard but also sleeps hard, picky on her food but will do anything for goats milk or cheese.

    Charles at Gulf Coast Kennels is a top notch breeder! Charles made the whole process easy and flawless! He takes great pride in his babies to make sure they have good homes because they come from a excellent home! Charles regularly checks in on our baby girl to see how she is adjusting to her new home. If you are interested in a healthy, happy Frenchie do not hesitate to check out Gulf Coast Kennels. You will not be disappointed! I cant thank Charles at Gulf Coast Kennels enough for my sweet baby girl!

    We had an amazing experience purchasing our miniature Australian shepherd puppy from Charles. From the start, Charles was incredibly informative and made sure we were updated every step of the way. He kept us informed about the puppy’s vaccinations and overall care, which gave us great peace of mind. Even after bringing our new furry family member home, Charles followed up to check how the puppy was settling in. His dedication and genuine care for the puppies he sells are evident, and we couldn’t be happier with our new addition. Highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder!

    I have worked with a few different breeders on the good dog website and have found that each one of them has been very helpful. But I have to say that Charles with Gulf Coast Kennels has been not only a pleasure to work with but extremely informative about the breed. And I must stop to mention how wonderful his follow-up has been to make sure that my puppy was doing well and adjusting to my home properly. I have very much enjoyed working with him through this process. His concern for me and my new puppy after the sale has been outstanding! I wish he and his wife a blessed and happy future, because he has made mine blessed and happier.
