For anyone wanting a to the point summary, working with Wicked Kennel was an all around great experience, and we recommend them 100%. In more detail, my fiancé and I are both in the veterinary field and decided to get our first dog together before our Wicked puppy was even born. We had been looking seriously for several months when we finally found Wicked Kennel. Working in the veterinary field there is pressure from the community to a certain extent to “adopt don’t shop.” All of my dogs besides my family dog growing up were rescues, I loved them dearly but several of them had significant behavioral issues that I was never able to correct. Because of this I always felt some level of sadness because they missed out on activities that they would have been able to experience had they had a good start. My fiancé wanted a puppy from a breeder and I was still stuck on the idea of adopting from a shelter. His point was that although rescuing animals is well intentioned and applicable for some people, in many ways the best way to mitigate the number of dogs that end up in shelters is creating high standards for the breeding of companion animals as well as creating a more widespread understanding that owning an animal is a privilege, not a right. I couldn’t be more impressed with the thoughtful care of Wicked’s dogs and puppies, breeders like them are at the forefront of changing how our society views animal ownership. Having a puppy who has had an impeccably happy and healthy first stage of life makes a world of difference. Can’t thank Wicked enough!!
