Biscuit - Wow, She sounds like the perfect puppy. I'm very glad to hear that she was born inside the house and is used to being on her own at night. Thank you so much for all the attention to detail. We are most impressed with your method of paper training. I've heard this breed of dog is really smart. Thanks again for the beautiful little girl. She is such a cute bundle of energy. I honestly don't believe I have ever had such an easy first night with a new puppy. You really did a great job preparing her for the transition. Thanks for all your suggestions. I also really appreciated the material you sent home with us. This experience has been the best I've ever had when getting a new pup.

Aenghus - I could not be happier with Aenghus, (IW pup) Sarah. He is perfect in every way. You're doing a great job and producing quality pups. I am happy to be used as a referral.

Dillon - You have a very professional process and inspire trust, especially when buying an IW from an out of state breeder. Dillon is doing very well.
Barbara, NY - 2007

Finn - Thank you very much for the update. It sounds like you have your hands full! We think about Finn all the time and cannot wait to meet him. He is growing so fast! This is our first Irish Wolfhound so any and all information is greatly appreciated. I am confident that he is in the best and most capable hands with you and your family. We looked at multiple breeders and I know Sarken Kennels was the best choice. Our admiration grows with each email. Thanks again. Thank you for everything. Finn is an amazing puppy, and he has already brightened our lives. I would recommend you and your kennel to anyone who wants a puppy.

Ralphie - Pup did incredible on the way home. He whined every once in a while, but after he finally found a comfortable position on top of Bryndis, he pretty much slept the whole time. We really thought he'd be up half the night, but Bryndis said he slept all night too. He's really laid back - seems to take all the changes in stride. He has already claimed the center of the bed. It was so nice to meet you and your family.
Thanks again,
Belinda / Bryndis, AL - 2007

Mojo - My whole experience working with you has been wonderful. A total family experience as it should be when adding a new member to the family. Supportive and inclusive and information a call away. Thank you.
Patty, GA - 2007

We are very happy with your professionalism and the way you keep in contact. Thank you again

Ravn - This whole experience has been a good one. It was great to get the weekly updtes and Sarah has been wonderful. I have been singing your praises and will refer anyone to your kennels.
Chelay, AZ - 2007

Henry - He's an interesting character, and I don't know if it is a trait of the breed, but he is incredibly mellow, and at the same time not at all timid. One of his favorite pastimes is swiping the smaller dogs over the head with his paw as they walk past him, and then pounce on them. It never lasts long though, as he then has to get his beauty sleep.
Well, I will try again tonight to get some pics to you, in the meantime, thanks again for such a wonderful gift, and hats off to your professionalism.
Mike & Mary, CA - 2007

Boris - Sarah felt like a family member and exceeded our expectations as far as the adoption process and level of communication before, and after, the birth of our puppy. We would highly recommend Sarken Kennels and are so pleased with the health and temperament of our pup "Boris".
Chris & Lisa, CA - 2007

Maeve - Thank you, Sarah, for the adorable photos and the great update. You are so good at keeping us all in the loop! I am in love, Sarah! Maeve is the cutest puppy I've ever seen. She is just perfectly gorgeous. And I have to tell you, the lady who helped me out with the kennel paid you a very high compliment. She said you were one conscientious and excellent breeder and the way she could tell was by how beautiful Maeve's coat was and how much care you took in selecting her large carrier. There was another pup beside Maeve who was squished into a very small container and could not stand or turn around and the same lady photographed her and was going to report the breeder for inhumane treatment. She said she could tell you were a good person and loved what you did by the way Maeve arrived. I said you treated your pups like children and wouldn't rest until you knew each had arrived safely in their new home.:) And she is such love....oh, my gosh. I'm crazy about her already. She rode in my lap the whole time home, over one and a half hours. And she fell asleep, then she'd wake, lick my hand, and fall back asleep. We are in heaven. Planning to spend the day at home enjoying her and letting her adjust to everything. But please know all is well and that we couldn't be more pleased with Maeve. She is already fitting in quite nicely.
Chris & Lisa, CA - 2007 - 2nd pup

Boru - Crystal and myself had a lot of business trips near the time Boru was supposed to fly to us. Sarah bent over backwards to accomodate our needs and for this we are truly thankful. Sarah is a genuine breeder that puts the welfare of her pups first. I cannot say anything but good things about Sarken Kennels. Please feel free to use us as a reference.
Mike & Crystal, NC - 2007

Lilly - I am happy with the whole experience and have found the socialization that you did with Lilly to have been excellent.
Patty, AL - 2007

Sam - Sam is a great dog and a wonderful addition to our family. He's a confident little fellow who is never intimidated by the size of other dogs. He is also very smart. It took him absolutely no time at all to learn to use the doggy doors and he knew instinctively to potty outside.
One of the neatest things about Sam is that he tries to talk. At first we thought he was growling, but we finally decided that he just has a deep voice. He's so funny when he's "talking" and wagging his tail -- which causes his whole back end to wag.
This is a dog who loves to walk. He could walk all day. And I don't mean a casual stroll! His normal pace is a power-walk for everybody else.
Sam has the standard features of Cairn terriers, so it appears his breeding is very good. He has a wonderful personality and we couldn't be happier with him.
As far as picking Sam out and buying him, you were very helpful by e-mailing all the information and sending pictures of the puppies. The process was very smooth. I would recommend you to others considering the purchase of a Cairn terrier.

Liffey - Hello Sarah, We wanted to send these pics of Liffey taken today. She had her check up with the vet yesterday and all is in good order. She was the star of the veterinary hospital. The doctor who has had experience with Wolfhounds and a UVA graduate thought Liffey was quite beautiful and in excellent condition. Thank you for all your assistance. Best to you.

Teddy - My wife and I were very pleased when a local kennel was found raising Cairn Terriers. Upon on contact, I was given informative information about the litter and The Mom and Dad. A short drive brought us to the kennel. The puppies were well cared for and in a very clean environment. We were immmediatley drawn to a Black Brindle. This was the one for us. Sarken Kennels kept us updated on the puppy via email and many pictures were attached showing the growth. A name was selected and he was called by that name at Sarken. We eagerly looked forward to these emails. All questions via phone or email were immediatley answered. At 6 weeks he was ready to come home. He was very healthy and clean. Sarken gave us a large bag of puppy food, collar and food/water bowl. Of great help was the toy he slept with as it had his Mom's and siblings scent. We have been most pleased with our puppy. All paperwork was ready and explained.The chip had been placed in the puppy and the shot record provided. I highly recommend Sarken Kennels.
Byron & Debbie, TN - 2005

Patty, GA - 2007

You are a very honest person, we would definitely buy from you some day, we appreciate your approach. Thanks a lot
Ashish, Mauritius - 2006

Makers - Thank you for being so very professional. I've been looking for a while and finely found a breeder that works for me. You have lots of pictures of the parents and you raise the pups in a diverse environment. I need that since I have a small dog and a cat. Plus your pedigree page is excellent.
