Customer Testimonials
Peanut Firem
I got my peanut. It’ll be 15 years December 6 when she was born, got her at your Kennels. Her name at that time was Libby that didn’t fit her so we named her peanut. She was the best dog anyone could have. She was gentle. She didn’t go in the house. She was so so good, but October 22 of this year she could do no more and had passed away very hard on me to do that but she was really ill. Peanut went blind two years ago, but she did well. She did well I miss her so much I could never get another .
William Zipfel
I purchased my two Jack Russells terrier’s Noah & Brandy in 2014. These two dogs have changed my life and I love them dearly. They are so sweet and loving. People always ask where I got them and I gladly say Butterball Kennels.

What is the price of your puppies?I only sell my puppies with AKC limited registration; occasionally I may make an acception. My pricing starts at $1500 regardless of color, gender or hair coat.
-
Do you offer puppy transport?Yes we do! We offer flight nanny service and personally fly with your pup in cabin. This is not included in the price of the puppy. You must be able to meet at the airport. We also offer ground transport within the state of Florida and may on occasion offer it to surrounding states--we charge $2.00 a mile one way.
-
Have your breeding dogs been health tested?Yes. We strive to breed for overall health and disposition above all else. When PLL & SCA DNA testing first became available, we tested every single breeding dog in our program. From those results, we chose to only breed dogs that tested CLEAR and any we purchase are either tested CLEAR or from parents that tested CLEAR.
-
Do you offer stud service?No we do not. There are risks involved when breeding outside females that we are not willing to take with our studs. While we appreciate your interest, sadly we must decline.
