We got our puppy Peach several months ago at this point and we couldn't be happier with how professional Robin was from start to finish. The facility is great and the dogs are top notch and well balanced. Would and will likely buy again

Robin has a great understanding of all dog types and their needs. This is shown by how well all her dogs listen to her commands and directions. She dosnt just train the dog she trains the owner for a great relationship between human and dog for years to come.
Robin is an amazing breeder and trainer. I got my shepherd from her 2 years ago and we have done training ever since. I get so many compliments on my German Shepherd. Not only for the beautiful shepherd that she is but also her amazing temperament. Sophia loves her weekly training and visits with Robin and you can see how much Robin loves her dogs!
Great experience with Runchkin Hill Farm and Kennel North. Robin is a very knowledgeable dog trainer and understands how to help people in their relationships with their pets and problem solve anything you are dealing with. Not all dog trainers have the experience she has, so check her out for your dog training needs. She is the real deal!
Robin is very good with all types of dogs and their owner.
