Patty-
When I talked to you quite a few months ago about our search for a bulldog, you said to make sure that I let you know when we adopted one. I wanted to let you know that we adopted our bulldog from one of the breeders you recommended. We are now the proud owners of Mathilda, a 3 1/2 year old bulldog. We've had her now for a little over 3 weeks and she's definitely become a part of our family. And our two young kids LOVE her!
Thanks again for your help! We really appreciate it!

New Match: Mocha
Hi Patty....... I have been in contact with you for over a year trying to figure out what kind of dog would be the best fit for our family. In July you had put me in contact with a Havanese breeder which ended up being a success story. Mocha was 6 months old when we got her and she transitioned into our home just beautifully!!!! She was crate trained, potty trained, and had the sweetest personality. We are so fortunate. You were great with the follow-up and I felt like you listened to my needs and concerns.....which made me feel like you really cared. Thanks so much for your services and the support. You are great! Sincerely,
The Hill Family

New Match: Lovey
“Lovey came into my life when I needed her the most. To Kennelwood's Patty, the Pet Matchmaker, I will always be grateful. I had just lost my 13 year old Jack Russell and was grief stricken to say the least. A call to Patty the Pet Matchmaker and within 2 ½ hours I had met my one year old Jack Russell. She came to me on my late dog’s birthday and she was heaven sent. We met, we bonded and I named her “LOVEY” because she is just that. She goes to work with me everyday at Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty. She is well behaved thanks to her top level training from Sue at Kennelwood Pet Resorts. For all those who own dogs and love them like family let me urge you to consider adoption from a reputable source. It is wonderful to bond with a dog who wants to please and is happy to have a safe home.”

I am very grateful to Patty and Kennelwood's Matchmaker Service for my wonderful new dog. We had several conversations about breeds, their characteristics, temperaments, and breeders when I was trying to find a dog after 12 years of cat ownership! She was very helpful and informative. We found our dream dog and a wonderful breeder. Thanks Patty!

New Match: Oreo
I called Kennelwood one day just to inquire about local American Cocker breeders in the area....That one call to Patty changed my life, the breeder's life and our childrens' lives.
Patty and I spoke about dogs each summing each other up. We soon both realized we had something big in common...The absolute, unconditional, unwavoring love of and for man's best friend.
Well, the story continues and gets crazier. I called Kim Williams, the breeder. She and I hit it off and she calls me from the vets office to let me know her female was in fact pregnant. I am invited to Purina Farms to watch one of of Kim's chocolate Cockers compete. Patty and I are on the phone exchanging uncoming puppy due dates ect. and I finally meet "OREO" at three days old.
Now, Patty and I are still in contact with the "match made in heaven," my new friends helped train "OREO" early for us since we have a one and four year old, and I was recently voted as a new member for the St. Louis Cocker Club.
Patty, our six year old Collie loves the puppy, my husband, who I had to twist his whole body to agree to a second dog loves him, and Keegan and Keely play with OREO all day.
Most importantly, thanks to Patty, OREO is loved to the Nth degree and is very, very happy in his new webster groves home.
Sincerely,
Julie Cantwell

Patty,
Thanks so much for emailing me those websites. I emailed pictures of a puppy to my husband, and he emailed me back- saying let’s go get him. When I told him, the puppy was in Kansas City- he said so!! Off we went to Kansas City and got two puppies instead of one!!!!
They are awesome- thanks for your help!!
Kathy

Hi Patty,
Their names are Benton and Baxter. I am calling today for their first kennel stay! It is good knowing my “boys” will be well taken care of!!! Again, thanks so much for your help. As soon as I saw their pictures, I knew they belonged with us. I am so glad we have two because they wear each other out, and not us- oh, who am I kidding- they wear us out, too- LOL!
Thanks again!

Patty the Pet Matchmaker at Kennelwood answered the phone and was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and professional. I was referred to her by a veterinarian. I was looking for a special kind of dog. The dog our family was in need of was for our son with special needs. I wanted a dog who would be his friend. Who would help get him up in the morning and would be excited to see him when he got home from school and would be by his side to play with him when he needed. Where could I find a dog like this? My son has down syndrome and autism and is non-verbal. I also needed a dog that was well trained and the list went on. Patty seemed to have her finger on the pulse of where to find the dog we needed. She gave us several ideas and then names of breeders but then she gave us the names of two non-for profit organizations that place dogs in the homes of those with special needs.

The one group was "Champs" and the other and the one we went with was " Support Dogs". We now have our support dog. He is a youth companion dog and he is great. Kennelwood Pet Resorts Pet Matchmaker program ment the difference for us, for if they had not been able to refer me to "Support Dogs" then we would not have this wonderful friend for our son. Everyone needs a friend and through the help of Patty and Kennelwood Pet Resorts Pet MatchMaker and "Support Dogs" my son has a friend to get him up every morning and play with him when he comes home from school. Your help was invaluable!
Thank you again Patty

Thanks once more Patty! Thank you for your compliment on Ruby, we brought her home Sat. and the house-training is catching on already. Not perfect by any means but, that she gets that is what we go out for and does it almost instantly I won't complain. Your service is Fantastic, and I am a forever fan.
My best from My Pack to yours,

We definitely love our new puppy. He shows a lot of Doberman qualities. He is a red/rust, which is what we wanted. Eventually we will get a black/rust female. We are very happy with him. Very vocal puppy. Doesn't bark so much anymore, but he tries talking..LOL Cracks us up. Anyways thanks for keeping in touch with us this whole process, we have really appreciated it a lot!!

New Match: Toosday
Patty,
My family would like to thank you SO much for helping us find our perfect puppy! It was very difficult at first because the local breeders were not breeding until spring. However, with your help and connections, we spoke with so many wonderful people, who knew people, who knew people, and we finally found Toosday...in Ohio!! We made a family adventure out of it and drove up to get her. Our breeder was so nice, knowledgeable and answered all of the questions you suggested we ask. We felt so comfortable and so informed that we had made the right decision.
Toosday is now in Kennelwood Training, with Kari, in St. Peters. We have used Kennelwood Training before and have a wonderfully obedient, 10 year old Sheltie, whom everyone adores because he's such a good dog. I am confident that when Toosday comes home, she will be our cute little puppy we picked up, with MANNERS!! Do you train children? haha
Our 4 daughters are thrilled with Toosday, excited to see her when she comes home and my husband and I are absolutely positive that anyone who uses Kennelwood's Pet Matchmaking with you will be happy!!
Thank you again! Our 10 year old Kipper thanks you too! He has someone to love now that has fur like him!
