We have gotten not one, but two Schnoodle babies from Charity. She was great to work with. They delivered both of our pups to our front door. One was even delivered on 12/23 while they were on their way to a family Christmas party. Our pups were very healthy when we received them. We have been very satisfied and would highly recommend them! Thanks for these sweet additions to our family!!

Brought home my little Shichon about a month ago. She is the sweetest puppy, everyone that comes across her is obsessed. Charity was very helpful and patient trying to arrange a pickup. Upon pickup they provided me with her bed, blanket, toys and even food, all help make the transition comfortable for her. I was recommended by a friend who bought their dog from Charity. I too would recommend Charity for a puppy.

I adopted a Bichon from Fuehne Family Pets in August 2023 and I have finally gotten around to writing a review. I was referred to them by a retired breeder in the STL area when I was talking with her about how I wanted a small dog to fit our lifestyle. My husband grew up with Bichon's and we agreed that we wanted one of our own. When I first went to the Fuehne Family Pets website, I was thrilled to see that they actually had a Bichon available. I think it was meant to be. At that time, they had 2 male puppies available and when I contacted Charity, she was quick to reply and shared additional photos and videos of them with me. It was really helpful to see them and while I wanted both of them, we had to choose 1. Once we made our decision, I contacted Charity and she and I agreed to meet up about halfway between our place and theirs. Working with her throughout the process was super easy. I was able to pay half up front as a way to secure my new puppy and then on the day of delivery, I sent her the final payment online. They even provided us with a few goodies like a leash, harness, blank and small dog bed. I was so shocked when she told us we could keep all of that for him. Our little guy has been with us for almost 2 years and we have just loved getting to know him. He was easy to potty train, mainly because Charity and her family started that process at their place. And while he has some weird quirks, I still love him very much and am so thrilled to have him in my life. Baxter Bowie comes to work with me a few times each week and we go on may adventures together. If you are looking at adopting a puppy, I highly recommend Fuehne Family Pets. They take great care of their puppies (and dogs) and are super easy to work with for a newbie like me. Thank you!

I got my first dog through Charity when I was going through a really rough period in my life and she managed to give me one of the biggest blessings. My first ever dog as an adult (not my family dog) and he’s truly my soul dog. But the reason I recommend her to everyone who stops me to ask about him is because she is honest and ethical and I have the receipts to prove it. So when I was interested in getting him a buddy, I knew exactly where to go. Getting a designer breed can be very risky. Breeders that prioritize profit over health of the puppies are abundant. Charity is truly a woman of her word. Both of my dogs received full panel genetic testing through my vet of more than 215+ genetic conditions and neither one of them is a carrier for any genetic diseases. This is an objective measure of her ethical breeding practices and the reason I will always recommend Fuehne Family Pets to every person in the market for an adorable healthy dog. While that is the biggest reason to trust her, the support is incredible. She delivers your puppy with everything they need—old toys/blankets from their litter, their current food, and even a dog bed to help make their transition to your home easier, none of which she charges you extra for. Both of my puppies came comfortable in a crate and pee pad trained, which was just an added bonus. She genuinely cares about the emotional wellbeing of your puppy and not how much money she can squeeze out of you (you know the businesses who do exactly that). You truly feel like you are adopting a new member of the family not purchasing a dog, and that’s all because of her transparency and integrity. I am so grateful to Charity for helping me expand my family.

After losing both our sweet Shih-Tzu and American Staffordshire Terrier just two months apart due to age-related illnesses, my husband and I needed some time. Eventually, though, we missed having a dog around. We initially tried adopting through a few rescues, but ran into poor communication and other frustrations. A coworker of mine has the cutest Bichon, so I asked where she got him, and she recommended Fehne Family Pets. As soon as I visited their website, I completely fell for an adorable Malshi puppy. Honestly, we were a bit hesitant about buying from a breeder since all our previous dogs had come from rescues or friends, but Fehne Family Pets quickly put our minds at ease. Here’s what we loved right away: Puppies are clearly well-socialized with different animals. They answered my endless questions quickly and kindly. Licenses and certifications were easy to find. The health guarantee was fair and reassuring. It was obvious they breed responsibly. After placing a deposit, our puppy was marked as sold within a day. Arranging pickup was a breeze, Charity was punctual and made everything simple. Her son handled the delivery and was fantastic, making sure we had all the info we needed. They even provided a lovely care package: A blanket with our puppy’s mom’s scent A few toys A cozy bed A handy backpack carrier Food and a measuring cup Feeding dishes Our puppy’s pedigree paperwork Charity was amazing, friendly, helpful, and obviously passionate about her puppies. We had such a great experience and would absolutely choose Fehne Family Pets again!
