* I can't thank you enough for the good start my precious Annie got in life 12 years ago, particularly the acclimation to being bathed & groomed. Now, all these years later if my other dog gets bathed first, Annie snubs me! She wants her bath, shave & brush. Of course, once she got to Texas, she loved waking up, getting brushed & dressed and going out and being the center of attention everywhere we went. She was such a social butterfly. This little ball of fur got her AKC CGC title at 5 months. She loved going to dog training... such a show-off!
* Thank you for being her 1st Mommy. She has always been so loving, playful, smart and intuitive. In the last year of both my parents' lives, while my sister & I kept them both at home in Hospice, Annie was the sunshine in every day!
In the last 12 months, she has had 2 major surgeries. Both times she has healed way faster than expected with no complications. The doctors were amazed, not only with how quickly she bounced back, but with her demeanor throughout. Now, at 12 years & 5 months, she has cirrhosis of the liver & liver cancer (or so I'm told!), but in 6 days she went from being completely non-responsive to acting like her old self --loving, playful, bossy, demanding -- she truly is a miracle dog, spoiled & cherished beyond all reason. It was Annie who taught me the difference in being a "dog owner" and a "pet parent"! I can't imagine life without her in it. Yes Lori thank you. I was so heartbroken when I lost my first CC, but my daughter saw you and your puppies on line and suggested I contact you. I didn’t want to at first, I didn’t think I would ever love another, but I was wrong. You raise such loving puppies.
My girl Su-Ling aka Sierra as you named her, loves everyone other dogs included. She is so different from my other CC and I know it was the way you raised your puppies, including the way you speak to them as babies. One time I was playing a recording of you talking to your puppies and Su-Ling came running to find you. You are the greatest first mommy ever.
Thank you for caring how these babies turn out.
* The day my world changed, I had just lost Gypsy and my friend Lori Elrod showed up at my house with a little rescue. I was so devastated after the loss I really didn't think I wanted another dog. I still had not moved all of Gypsies beds, toys and clothes but Starr was already jumping in those beds. Lori said we will leave her with you for a week and you decide, the next day I called her and said who do I send the money to ? I was already in love with her !! So little Starr entered my life and everyone who meets her says the same thing...This is most friendly and affectionate dog. So now 4 years later I can't imagine my life without her. And I ask myself every day..Who saved who?
* Hi Lori, we just wanted to say thank you so much for welcoming us into your home this past weekend and giving us such special time with Rocky. It meant the world to us to be able to visit with him Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — and to spend time with your other sweet pups too. Your warmth, patience, and openness made the entire experience so positive. It gave us such peace of mind to see how lovingly your dogs are raised, and it made our connection with Rocky even deeper. We’re so grateful for the care you and Bill are putting into preparing him — it really shows. We’re counting down the days until we get to bring him home on the 25th! Until then, thank you again for everything — and for trusting us with this amazing little guy
* My experience with Chinese Checkers Chinese Cresteds has been nothing short of amazing. Lori and Bill have been exceptional from the very beginning. They always reached out, answered any questions I had, and were incredibly sweet and caring every step of the way. Bebop (our chinese crested baby) is not just one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met, she is the sweetest dog ever. Her temperament is absolutely perfect, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better companion. I really can't imagine a life without her. From my first contact with Lori and Bill to now, long after bringing Bebop home, they still check in and genuinely care. That means so much. When we’re ready for another puppy, we will 100% be coming back to them.
Amazing breeders, amazing experience, amazing dogs. I couldn’t recommend Chinese Checkers Chinese Cresteds more highly.
