    MMA kennel is a fantastic breeder.They take excellent care of their dogs and make sure they go to loving homes. I wanted a dog and companion so that I could be more active during college. So I looked up dogs and found mma kennel. Even though I'm out of state from Illinois, it was definitely worth the drive. I definitely recommend buying from mma kennel even if you are near or far.They have top notch dogs. I love my fur baby cookie and am excited to have her as my new best friend. ❤️Thank you Rachel and MMA kennel.

    MMA kennel made the whole process of getting a new dog super easy. Our puppy Copper was happy and healthy when we got him. They had a bag with his toy and vaccination records ready with everything up to date as promised. Copper is a beautiful, amazing and smart puppy! He has added tremendous happiness to our family, thank you MMA Kennels - Rachel and Christina!

    Rachel Was friendly, professional, and knowledgable about Aussies. Wealth of knowledge. My pup is stunning colors, two blue eyes and perfect confirmation. Pup is smart as whip. Instant kennel, potty training and recall. She works with her litters so she knows the temperament of each pup. Henry is so pretty. He was stolen out of my yard twice. Rachel microchips her pups. Making recovering Henry short work. Police returned him each time. I love this pup. I will buy a buddy for him in the future from MMA kennels. You can't go wrong with your purchase. Worth every penny.

    My experience with MMA Kennel went smoothly. Our puppy Louie adapted into our routine flawlessly. You can see the care that went into his first months. I was really impressed with MMA Kennels routine. Rachel kept me updated and we met just as planned. We drove in from another state and I was very nervous. Reading comments like these and joining her adopted puppies page really put me at ease. We just love our beautiful boy. Also love how Rachel took the time to make sure Louie was the right puppy for our home. He gets along with our cats and loves meeting new people. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience.

    We are so overjoyed with our new puppy! We had a bad experience with some breeders in the past, but Rachel was so professional, reassuring, and sincere. She sent our puppy home with a new stuffy and she’s been obsessed with it since. Our puppy got along well with our Bengal cat as well. We are so in love. Thank you Rachel!
