    Jimelle was very good at responding to my inquiries quickly. She worked with me to pick up Cooper at a convenient time and place. I received photos and videos whenever requested. Cooper is a precious, healthy, and loving member of my family. Thank you, Jimelle!

    I cannot say enough good things about Wilson Kennel. After losing our beloved dog, we were nervous about finding a new best friend, but working with Jimelle Wilson made the transition beautiful. She was so communicative and compassionate, answering every question we had to put our minds at ease. We are head over heels for our new Shorkie! Not only does he have the sweetest temperament, but he arrived potty trained, which was such a wonderful surprise. Jimelle was professional, punctual (even early!), and kind. If you are looking for a new puppy, I highly recommend trusting Wilson Kennel with the process.

    We had a wonderful experience with Jimelle at Wilson Kennels from start to finish. The entire process was easy and stress-free. She was extremely responsive and kept us updated regularly while we waited for pickup day, which we really appreciated. We met halfway to bring our puppy home, and everything went seamlessly. She provided all of his paperwork, along with a thoughtful take-home bag that included a food sample and a couple of toys. It was clear right away how well he had been cared for. Our puppy, Gibbs (Yellow), is absolutely amazing—sweet, playful, and very smart. He loves to play and snuggle, is confident and not at all anxious, and has adjusted beautifully. He enjoys car rides and is already comfortable around our other dog. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Jimelle and Wilson Kennels!

    We were heartbroken over the loss of our beloved Shorkie so we began the search for another Shorkie to love and fill our home with joy again. Our search brought us to Good Dog and Jimelle, Wilson Kennel. She was so willing to do Facetime, answer questions, and was patient with us in making the important decision of choosing the right puppy. We chose Sadie (previously Pernicious). We met and received sweet tiny Sadie. We were also pleasantly surprised to receive a gift bag with food and toys. Jimelle was so organized and helpful with the paperwork. Definitely positive experience!
