Testimonials

Family Affair Gunsmoke’s Great Lakes Willow has been a joy. My husband and I did National Shoot to Retrieve Trials with English Setter for over 40 years. I retired and spent a year looking for the perfect poodle which I knew could only be found when I found a kennel where the owners were sincerely knowledgeable, loving, sincere and truly honest people. At the end of each day that I spent looking on the computer, I would always come back to the Family Affair Website! We picked her up in July of 2013 and have never regretted our decision! Willow is known and respected by so many people as she travels with us to the National Shoot to Retrieve Trials all over the US.(My husband and son still trial) She loves life no matter which way the ‘wind blows’ and because of her awesome, loving and inquisitive personality, she has ‘introduced us’ to many new friends. Thank you Family Affair for your Love, Dedication, Knowledge and everything else positive in sharing with us your beautiful ‘4 legged children’ .

We looked a VERY long time to find our perfect boy. Way too many places with poodles who are just wrong-dirty environments; asking what sex/color in advance (puppy mill). Seven years out, we are so in love with our boy. As we noted during our pre-purchase visit, the personalities of the poodles here are really noticeably sweet. We came from Florida to pick him up, BUT we saw him at four days old (traveling to visit family). These folks are SO honest; we wanted a brown boy, but even though brown at birth, they told us it could change (brown is a recessive gene). He stayed brown (as if we wouldn’t have taken him anyway!). We Love Him as does Everyone who meets him. Standards are rare in our area-the vets are smitten! When ready for our next (sometime in the future), there is no where else we would EVER consider than Family Affairs.
