We went to Laughlin Kennel and spent some time picking out a puppy. We ended up purchasing one and going home. We originally were going to get a puppy or dog from a shelter. But by the time you're done answering the 90 questions they have, it's as if you were adopting a child. So we just decided to go purchase a dog from Laughlin. It's not as if they didn't care who they are selling their dogs to, it was just a bit easier. And as far as cost was concerned, their price was in-line with what it costs to adopt a dog nowadays. We are very happy with the puppy we chose.
I would suggest you get there early enough so you can spend some time picking out the right dog for you. They're a very busy facility. You should get there early, so you don't feel rushed at the end to pick out a dog. When we were there it was packed with people taking turns, and puppies were running around. It can get a little overwhelming, so I would suggest you get there early.
It was a great experience. I would recommend them, and we already have. The people we referred ended up going, and they bought a puppy too.
