I recently had been on the search for a place to purchase the new family pet. I had a couple of friends telling me to adopt, but I couldn't seem to find a family-friendly dog at the "pound.” I had some other friends who had purchased their pups from Canine Corral and were overwhelmingly pleased with the result. So my family and I, after visiting many places, went to Canine Corral. The place was very clean, abnormally clean for a pet store. The salesperson we worked with was extremely professional and, more importantly, very knowledgeable and caring. He was intent on finding the right fit for our family. One of my daughters has asthma, so we did need a dog that did not cause allergies.
He brought over three puppies that would fit our criteria. A poosh, which is a poodle/shih-tzu, a cockapoo, which is a cocker spaniel and a poodle, and a purebred Havanese. We played with all the puppies in a "playroom" which had all kinds of toys for the kids and dogs to play with. After careful consideration, we decided Canine Corral was the place to purchase our new puppy and we decided on the poosh! This is the smartest dog around!
Now, with regards to the price. We had been to several pet stores and while it wasn't as inexpensive as the pound, our new pup was significantly less than other stores in the area. They included a lot of great things with the puppy to help offset the cost as well. For us, it was definitely a good deal because they gave us a training course included with the puppy. We spent almost two hours with one of their trainers who was teaching us how to housebreak the new dog. Not only that, but we have additional free sessions that will cover come, sit, stay etc. Plus, they included other great things as well, like free vet care, the microchip, and a 5-year health warranty. That really impressed us as we didn't see that anywhere else.
Well, I think it is obvious that we would recommend this place to anyone in our inner circle or just anyone that we meet along the way. The staff was great, our pup is great, and when we go away over the summer they are going to board our pup for us as well. Thanks to Canine Corral’s Dan and Allen for a two thumbs-up experience!

My wife and I bought a 12-week old Boxer from them about 1 1/2 yrs ago and have had no health problems with her at all. My son bought a golden 13 yrs ago and also had no health problems with their dog. The only problem I had with them was when it was time to pay for and take the dog, they sold all of these vitamins and supplements and was told that we had to buy these for the guarantee to be valid. I spent about $140 on all of these vitamins and supplements and I think that they were all a bunch of garbage.

I and three other friends have all purchased dogs from this facility with negative outcomes. Two dogs had kennel cough so severe that it turned into pneumonia practically overnight, worms, a genetic condition and I can keep on going. I would not recommend them! Thousands upon thousands in veterinary bills!

In November of 2008, I bought a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from Canine Corral. Unfortunately, I developed severe allergies to the dog, which necessitated me taking the dog back after 4 days. However, the store took the dog back and offered me a store credit for another dog. Interestingly, when I was shopping for the dog, they offered me the option of taking the dog home for a few days to see how things are. One of the papers I signed stated that they have no return policy, except if the dog is sick. Before you buy a puppy, the sales people in the store are extremely nice but if you have any problems with the puppy you bought, you will get the rudest treatment you have ever experienced in your life. Now, I am trying to sell the store credit for half of my purchase price on Craigslist.

Canine Corral is DA Bomb! I couldn't afford puppies elsewhere but one of my home-girls told me about Canine Corral and they made it happen for me! Holla to Dan and Karen.

I would like to say that I have 2 dogs from canine corral and they are both very healthy dogs. The only problem I had with one of my dogs was with house breaking, and the very knowledgeable staff at canine corral walked me through the housebreaking step by step until my dog was fully housebroken.
I would also like to mention that I have many family and friends that over the years have also purchased their lovable healthy puppies from canine corral and are satisfied and happy, and this is why we all keep going back-- because we trust them.

I have been a customer at Canine Corral for the past 5 years, and up to this date I have not had any complaints about the dogs that I have purchased from them. I have purchased 3 dogs and up to this date, they have been very healthy dogs. I do take my dogs to the vet on a regular basis.

Canine Corral has to be one of the saddest places I have ever been to. Many of the puppies had neon green mucus dripping from there noses and when asked if this was normal, staff said yes. Can you believe this?? Also they had a kitten inside of one of there cages with a puppy, and the puppy was just beating this poor kitten up.
My friend purchased a puppy Shih Tzu from them about 6 months ago and it died after her having it only a week. My neighbor also purchased a puppy there, it died. They gave them a replacement, which also died. How is this place even still in business? I have driven by there a couple of times and have witnessed people protesting there store from across the street. Make this place stop, please.

Last August My daughter purchased a Doberman puppy, Canine Corral said that it was a pedigree dog and would send along the papers in two weeks. No papers were sent and we called and were told to give it a bit more time,another two weeks, again no papers so I called the second time and was told to wait about three weeks. When once again we received no papers I reread all our papers my daughter received with the dog and it has a discloser in it that we have the right to papers and if we do not receive them and we have contacted the store twice we can have this remedied under the law. We feel that this dog was sold to my daughter under false pretense and it is not in fact a pedigree and it is not worth the $1189.39 Canine Corral charged so we are now taking them to small claims court for remebursement.
This store sold my daughter a very expensive dog along with unnessary extras such as a food and water bowl that was small enough for a cat not a large breed dog, food that our vet does not recomend for puppies and a vitamins such as coat supplement, and health extention powder, if in fact this is a healthy puppy it should not need these frivolous supplements, my daughter spent $1400.00 when the dog is worth maybe $400.00

In January of 2007 I purchased a purebred black and tan dachshund. I brought him to a vet they reccomended near my home and the doctor said he was in great condition. He didn't have any parasites which was great, no kennel cough, nothing. He was a great puppy.
Well, on October 29, 2007, I came home to find his cage pushed in the kitchen (he was in the cage) from the next room over and blood was all over the floor. He was having ceizures. His tongue was out of his mouth and his eyes were fluttering. I rushed him to the vet with my neighbor and the 10 minute drive to the vet he had 2 more ceizures. They started him on anticonvulsion medication and he wasn't coming out of the ceizure. I had to put my puppy to sleep. He was only a year and one month old.
When I contacted Janine at canine corral, she said she needed a letter form the vet stating what procedure was taken, bloodwork, medical records, and my receipt. I wanted my money back. The only option they gave me was a replacement puppy. This woman had no sympathy for me at all. SHe was so cold, it was as if she didn't even care. The vet I took him to was not my primary and she said that she's seen this before and it couldve been caused by overbreeding. Basically, a mother should not be bred more than twice. In the later litters, genetic defects like epilepsy are more common. It hurts so bad to know that they probably were not getting puppies from responsible breeders and my whole family had to go through heartbreak. If you purchase a puppy from here, please look into the breeders first.
