    Kinsley was awesome to work with. Im in love with our new furbaby Kash. He was already potty trained @ 7 weeks old, that's just amazing to me. If you need a new baby she's great to work with. Ty Kinsley

    Kinsley is AMAZING!!! I was about to give up finding my little side kick. Then I came across Karolina Kennels and the was a cute little boy left!! She sent me weekly updates and answered any questions I had as well. From birth until he came home to me he was treated like her family not just an animal. She also has flexible meeting spots. I'll definitely be going through Karolina Kennels in the future!! I can't wait to work with Kinsley again!!

    Kinsley is so kind and sweet and such a joy to work with! She went way above and beyond to make me very comfortable with the process by updating my puppy's progress and quickly responding to all my questions. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kinsley is wonderful! Now, my puppy...Dotty...she is fabulous! We are in love. Just so sweet, smart and feisty! My vet said she is very healthy. Kinsley started paper training her so when I got her home, she only took a few more days training to be completely paper trained! She also started responding to her name within a few days. She gets along with all humans. (She won't be exposed to other dogs until she's completely vaccinated.) I'm sure this is because of Kinsley's socialization efforts, kindness, and care for her pups and their parents. I highly recommend and would definitely buy another pup from Kinsley Owensby of Karolina Kennels. Thank you so much Kinsley we are so happy! Love, Tina & Dotty

    I cannot say enough good things about Kinsley and my puppy experience! She did all she said she would do for my puppy before she came home! Kept me updated on my puppy's progress, sent a weekly picture, and allowed me to ask questions! Purchasing a puppy from Kinsley was exceptional! My puppy is beautiful. I highly recommend Kinsley!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Kinsley! She was quick to respond and sent us weekly pictures of our baby! Friends and family all had a negative story to share about breeders warning us from the moment we began to look BUT Karolina Kennels proved all of the doubters wrong and we were sure to tell them so! Our experience every step of the way was great. When Helene hit and altered our mid point meeting spot Kinsley was very accommodating, easing our fears. We are absolutely in love with our little guy! We are grateful for Kinsley... and I'd say Norman agrees!
