Catori Kennels

Google rating-only review from I d C.

Shawna and her crew raise the most well rounded, loving, driven flat coats out there! She worked with myself and my trainer to help us temperament test one of her litters as a service dog prospect. My service dog in training is now 1.5 and I couldn’t imagine life without him! He’s healthy, loves to work but knows when to settle, and is truly my best friend - none of which would be possible without Catori’s stellar puppy raising!

We began working with Shawna and Catori Kennels in 2022 and have since welcomed two incredible flat coats into our lives. Shawna is not only incredibly thorough and knowledgeable on her side, making sure the puppies are healthy and set up for success before go-home day, but also in making sure you, as the future owner, are a good fit and prepared for these brilliant dogs. With both our dogs, Izzy and Berry, we were met with the most welcoming and gracious experience you could ask for. Shawna went above and beyond both times (we even flew from NC to MN to get our second!). When you get a dog from Catori Kennels, you aren’t just buying a puppy. You’re getting a family member who is thoughtfully paired with you, access to the Catori community of people who are passionate and knowledgeable about their babies, and regular follow up from Grandma Shawna. I could not recommend Catori more!!

We have 2 dogs from Shawna at Catori Kennels. I just love that I can reach her for any issues or questions with them. After 9 years, she is still very invested in her dogs and strives to provide information and help. Plus, her caring and professional attitude towards her dogs makes them so well adjusted when they leave for their new homes.

This has been the best experience in buying a puppy!!! This kennel accommodated to the time we needed to pick her up. And when we arrived they were all smiles. Our precious baby will be one in May and we couldn’t imagine her not being in my our life’s!!! They are so informative on the breed. And any time I have ever had questions she has always answered my texts within minutes!!! Best kennel ever!!!
