Julia's Farm Kennels

Good: Nothing. I regret ever sending my Dog to this Kennel. Bad: My dog was returned to me smelling of faeces, and her coat was urine stained. We had to give her a damned good bath when we got her home. My dog was spotlessly clean when I left her as did the Kennel. I do not expect to recieve her back in such a disgusting condition especially when I have to passengers in my car!. Improvements: She either needs to look after her doggy boarders properly or not at all! The concrete floor of the Kennel was soaked in urine and what I presume to be faecal matter judging by the condition of her coat. Other: Had to shampoo my dog twice immediately on returning home. She seemed to be very hurngry and clingy. Giving her one star rating was being extremely generous!. more

The conditions were unsanitary. We left our dogs for one night and when we picked them up in the morning, they smelled so strongly of urine and feces that we had to roll down the windows in the car on the way home and immediately give them baths. The owner even yelled at another dog about how nobody wanted her while we were waiting for ours. I would never take my dogs back there and I wouldn't recommend that anyone else does either. more

While Julia's is a neat clean business, located in a rural area of Johnson county, and while she is well known for her breeding and care of mini schnauzers...i am afraid I have to say I would not purchase a dog from her. It is not because of her expertise...that is great. And it is not because of her knowledge...it is great...but because she clips the ears of schnauzers before she sells them./ this may not seem like a big deal to many but to this dog lover, though I realize it is a must if you are going to show a dog, it seems a cruel way to inflict needless pain on a family pet. So this reviewer cannot in good conscience give a better rating simply because my sense of right when it comes to clipping comes into play. As always this is my opinion and not that of JUDYSBOOK....take it or leave it and if in fact you do not agree, feel free to comment or leave your own opinion...as always..until next time. more

Excellent kennel in a rural environment. Clean and spacious runs for your dog. Great care. Owner is also a breeder and very knowledgeable of many breeds. Dog obedience training also available (currently will be discontinuing this service). Very accommodating to your schedule. Owner lives on the property. Cameras throughout the kennel so your dog can be watched while not in the building. more
