Below is a recommendation by Ruth, from Montgomery, AL, and a photo of her family's
adorable Shih Tzu, Derby.



To Future Customers of Gloria Haynes

I would like to offer my highest recommendation for
Gloria Haynes to any person wishing to purchase a dog. We
purchased a Shih Tzu from her and we couldn't be happier
with her or our beloved pet! Her kennel was immaculate and
upon our visit, you could see the love she has for her dogs
and they for her.  She treats each one with care and brings
them into her home when they need special attention.

Our dog was in perfect health and had already received vaccinations. He has remained healthy, has a
wonderful temperament, loves everyone and is great with children. I have since recommended her to
a friend who wanted a dog. My friend purchased a puppy from Goria. When she decided that she
wanted another one, she told me there was no way that should would purchase a dog from anyone but
Gloria. You can't go wrong with Doublecreek Kennel.

Below is a "testimonial" from a fellow whose fiancé purchased a puppy from me to give
him for his birthday.  He wrote me this letter telling me what a difference that this
gift made in his AND his family's life. I'm a firm believer  that we all could learn from
dogs' unconditionally loving spirits. They lift me up on a daily basis.
Good afternoon Gloria

My name is Michael, my fiance Danielle purchased one of
your puppies for me this past May as a birthday present.
He is a West Highland Terrier, who we have named
Stitch. I can not say thank you enough. I have wanted a
puppy since I can remember, but my father never would
allow us one saying that it would not be fair due to the
fact we would never be home enough to care for it the
way that it deserves to be. I have waited over 26 years
for a puppy and when Danielle brought Stitch home from
the airport, he has been every thing I could have ever
hoped for (and more). He is a true addition to the family
and loved just as much. He is my friend, always wanting to
play and when he gets tired, though very rare, he loves to sit and rest in the lap of anyone willing to
have him sit by them. I have to add, that in addition to getting the puppy I have always wanted, Ihave
gotten something so much more...see, my father has Multiple Sclerosis and is wheel chair bound. For a
man that never would allow us to have a puppy in the house, he has taken to Stitch more than I could
have ever imagined. When he comes into the kitchen every morning, he does not even look for my comes
running and wants to sit in his lap as he wheels around. My dad is mostly in the house, and to see the look
on his face when he sees Stitch and when he gives him a treat, I can not express in words what that
means to me. You have given a new way of life to my family; to a house that would otherwise be quiet and
uneventful, I now get emails while at work through the day of how dad and Stitch are doing. I can not
say enough good words about the quality of Stitch, the process of purchasing and receiving him (we
never thought we would have a puppy shipped in) and simply You; you run a great kennel and I would (and
have) recommended you to anyone that asks where we got Stitch (and so many people do, they stop us
each time we take him out for a walk). I wanted to take a minute to say thank you, thank you from the
bottom of my heart for basically changing our lives for the better. I wish you a happy holiday season
and a very happy and healthy New Year!!!

Again, thank you from Stitch and family

Sincerely,
Michael Chisari
Below is  a"testimonial" from a lady that purchased a puppy from me and wanted to
share her experience of buying from Doublecreek.
happy with the whole experience. A year ago, we bought an 8
week old Yorkie-Poo from Gloria and our Chloe is just the
best dog ever.

Gloria was so professional and answered all of our questions
and I will say this, if I did not have three other dogs, I would
get another dog from her. To the right, is a picture of our
Chloe after waking up from a nap on the couch. She has the
best temperment and loves people.

Below is a testimonial from Kasey Luallen, who is a local customer. She wrote this for me
to post on this page and sent a current photo of Jaxon, her little Yorkie. He is adorable
and apparently a big "Bama" fan!!!
I am recommending Gloria Haynes at Doublecreek Kennel
to anyone planning on purchasing a puppy. I called her in
June of 2005 and was thinking about purchasing a Yorkie.
He was really gonna be a surprise for my boyfriend at the
time. She said she had a litter but they weren't old enough
yet, so she let me send her a deposit and she held my any
more Breeders after I talked to her since she was so
helpful and such a pleasure to talk to. After I got him, I
had some questions on potty training. I picked up the
phone and she was there to answer all my questions.
Luckily it didn't take him long to learn how to usethe potty
outside. I don't have any kids so Jaxon is kinda spoiled.

Below is a message sent to a potential customer by Andrea, from New York, who
purchased a West Highland Terrier from Doublecreek Kennel in 2004.
I am emailing you regarding Double Creek Kennel.  As you
know, purchasing a new puppy is a major decision for a
family. But, most importantly, finding the right puppy & the
right place to purchase is also very important.  Our children
asked us for many years for a West Highland Terrier.  They
are 7 & 8 years old and we decided it was time to add a
puppy to our family. We never had a puppy before & I felt I
needed to educate myself on everything from breed, care &
food.  I found Double Creek Kennel on a Westie search on
the web. I immediately contacted Gloria & she answered all
of my questions, asked questions about our family & I just
had a good feeling I was connected with the right breeder. I
did speak to other breeders, but felt that they were not
helpful, because I did not purchase a puppy yet.  Gloria never
responded that way.  It was a few weeks before Christmas &
I needed a little more time to discuss all of the details with
my husband.  The children did not know they were getting a
puppy.  I can honestly say I must have contacted Gloria a
dozen times prior to purchasing our puppy & ever time she
was very informative & sweet.  We finally made the decision
to purchase Noel & Gloria assisted us every step of the way.  
She provided us with all of her papers, the clean bill of health from the veterinarian & all flight
information. Since it was the winter, Gloria even made sure the temperatures were going to be warm
enough for Noel to fly. As soon as Gloria had the flight information she emailed me & called to make
sure Ihad all of the details.  Noel flew from Alabama to Albany, NY on December 10th & a very sweet
little puppy arrived safely.  Gloria madesure there was water in her crate & the food she had been
eating was attached to her crate for us.  It truly was the best day for our family.  The look on their
face when they saw Noel at the airport was PRICELESS!  As soon as we entered our home, the phone
was ringing & it was Gloria calling to make sure Noel arrived safely.  We have had Noel since
December & I still keep in touch with Gloria. Our kids have written to her & send her pictures of
Noel.  Gloria has taken the time to write or email them as well.  I have also contacted Gloria just for
advice on care, food or information about Noel's parents.  Gloria has always responded quickly & is
always so helpful. She even emailed the kids pictures of Noel's parents for their photo album!  I truly
would recommend Double Creek Kennel for all of the reasons I mentioned above.  Most importantly, I
feel that Gloria has such a love for puppies that I feel Noel is so sweet because of the excellent care
she received from Double Creek. Gloria is very trust worthy, organized & professional in every
aspect of her business.  I hope this information is helpful.

Good luck to you in your decision & please know that Double Creek is the best decision you will make!
to play and cuddle with each other. Needless to say, after I got him I couldn't give him up. Gloria really
cares for her dogs and she cares what kind of home they get, so if I was planning to purchase another
Yorkie I would definitely call her again. Thank You for all your help Doublecreek Kennel! ROLL TIDE

Below is another letter written on my behalf, to a potential customer, from Leigh Ann, in
Decatur, AL. and a couple of photos of her darling Yorkie, Lexie.

I found Doublecreek on the internet one Sunday after-
noon. I wanted a female Yorkie puppy. Even though,
Gloria had just come home from the hospital, she was
very friendly and answered all my questions. She
offered me the one female puppy that she had left at
the time, one that she was keeping for herself. My two
children and I drove the 2 1/2 hours on the following
Monday night after work, in the rain to meet Gloria's
husband to pick up our new family member. I had been
"shopping" for Yorkies for over a month to find just
the right one. I worried all the way there. But, all my
worries ceased when I looked into the most beautiful,
tiny face. Lexie was all I had dreamed of......and still is
today. She weighed 1 lb., 8 oz. and was 7 1/2 weeks
old. Now her frame is still small and dainty. Her coloring is beautiful. Her coat is so silky and soft.
She is very easy to brush and does not mat up. She is very good natured and not high strung. She
adores my two children and makes every step they take. I will be happy to send you pictures if you
would like.

Gloria has been so good to answer all my questions before and after the purchase. She had been in
the hospital prior to the purchase and did not have Lexie's papers. She was very prompt in mailing
the registration papers to me. She has offered advice on feeding, grooming and most importantly,
potty training. Lexie uses a litter box to potty. When she is outside playing with the kids, she will go
and stand at the door so that she can go inside to potty. Due to our work schedules, Lexie is "home
alone" about 5 days a month. We keep her in our 1/2 bath with her litter box. She never misses when
she is confined. When we are home, she is one of the family and is allowed anywhere on the first
floor of our home. She makes it back to the litter box 90% of the time. We have been very pleased
with her progress. When Lexie is older, I hope to get her a 'sister'. I will definitely contact Gloria
again for our next Yorkie. Lexie will be able to potty train the next pup, herself.

Our vet checked Lexie out the day after we picked her up. He said that she was a fine pup and we
have not had any problems.

TESTIMONIALS
These testimonials are from customers that have
bought puppies from me in the past. Some are
written to potential customers and some of them
just volunteered to write a recommendation for me
to post on my website. I appreciate all the kind
words very much.
I searched all over the internet to find the right puppy and after a bad
experience, I came across Gloria's website. I fell in love with a little
chihuahua that I later named Onyx. Gloria was very, very helpful in
answering all the questions I had, and trust me, I had tons! She even
called me to discuss shipping and other arrangements. She is always
very quick to respond to e-mails, even now, I still e-mail her for all of
my puppy questions. Onyx arrived safely at the airport and he had food
and water the whole time. I took him to the vet and he was in perfect
shape. Gloria even e-mailed me shortly after to make sure that he
arrived safely.

Onyx is the sweetest, cutest puppy I have ever seen. His temperament
is like no other, and best thing of all, he's not a yapper. He rarely
barks, if ever. If you are looking to find the perfect companion, look no
further than right here. I'm almost positive that you won't find the be
disappointed! Thanks so much Gloria!

Below is one of my lastest testimonials from a sweet young woman
from Eureka, CA. with a photo of her beautiful Chihuahua, Onyx.
Dearest Gloria,
I wanted to write to you to let you know how great my experience has
been with the Chihuahua I received from you last year.  As you
remember, I wrote to you near November inquiring about your kennel
and the puppies.  I had lost two poodles a few years back and was
terribly cautious about entering into a new baby.  However, after
visiting your wonderful site and talking to you on the phone, I knew I
was doing the right thing. I was sooo impressed by the upkeep of
your website and the up to date pictures you had of each precious
puppy.  I remember seeing a picture of the Chihuahua I took home
that you had taken. There was a remark about how fast his tail was
wagging and how happy he was. It was such a great experience
traveling from Birmingham, AL., to visit your kennel and see the
puppies you had chosen for me to see. They were all sooo very happy
and I was awestruck by the choice I had before me.  After much
deliberation, I chose one of two boy chihuahuas from a pair of
brothers you had waiting for me.  I decided to name him Louis.
(sounds like lew-ee)  His full name is Louis Auguste and he is my
sunshine.  When I took him to the vet within twenty four hours, my
doctor was happy to tell me what a
fantastic puppy I had gotten.  He
is spunky, happy, terribly sweet, and most importantly,
healthy. He loves everyone that walks in the door and has the best personality. He was able to go to puppy training
classes and did very well.  He sleeps with me every night, waits for me by the door, and goes on every family outing.
 My mother calls him her grand-puppy and keeps pictures of him on her computer at work. He has definately
become a permanent and important part of my life and my family.

Thank you so much for Louis!  You are so sweet and great at what you do!
I have attached a picture of Louis that you had posted on your site last year, and a recent photo from last month.

Much blessings!

The testimonial, below, was sent by a sweet young woman that got a puppy from
me last year. She included a recent photo of her Chihuahua, Louis, plus the photo
of him that I had posted on my website when he was a puppy. Both are shown
below. It thrills me to know that my puppy is loved so much!!!!
Below is a note from a lady from Michigan who got, Ellie, at below,right. She
was one of the Labradoodles from the 2006 litter. She sent both photos....one
when she was an adolescent and the other at present as a "teenager"
Dear Gloria,
I am a very happy customer. It has been 8 months since we were down to pick up
our baby. I am from Michigan and I adopted a female labradoodle. Her name is Ellie
and she has grown into a lovely young lady. I've included some baby pictures and
some more current photos were she is about eight months old and about 50 lbs. I
recently took her to the vet and she weighed in at 58lbs. She is beautiful and very
smart and loving. She has learned all her basic commands and is a wonderful
companion to my husband and I. I just wanted to thank you and to let you know that
she is doing great and appears to be a very happy and healthy pup. If we are in the
market for a companion for her, we will surely keep you in mind.
Regards,
Mary T Broccolo-Derr

Below is Nick and Ellie. This is a testimonial that the
Schaffner's sent about purchasing these two beauties.
Three years ago, we were blessed with Nicholas, a Yorkie
we purchased from Doublecreek Kennel.  After a family
member was diagnosed with cancer, the house was lifeless.
 Thankfully, he is better now and has been in remission for
over two years now.  We were at the time, however,
physically and emotionally drained.  We needed something
to bring life back into the house.  We picked up Nicholas
the day after Christmas.  We immediately fell in love with
him and decided a year later that he needed a companion.  
The following year, we went back to Doublecreek to pick
up Ellie, another Yorkie that immdiately stole our hearts.
This entire experience was great!  Nick and Ellie are now members of our family, and we often wonder how we ever
survived without them.  They brought life back in our home.

Gloria, thank you for our babies.  They are a blessing to this family and helped fill a void in our lives.  
Below is the latest testimonial sent by a couple that bought a Yorkie from me last year!!! They are
local so we get to see them periodically through the year and also stay in touch via email! Lance is
a precious and obedient dog with a huge personally!!!!!
A year ago we got a little Yorkie from Double Creek Kennel and he has
brought so much joy into our lives. We had lost a Yorkie a few months
before we got Lance and was just broken hearted so we talked with
Gloria and with her help we decided on another Yorkie. Not to replace
Spartie, the one we lost, but to fill the void in our hearts. Our house was
not the same until  Lance came into our lives. It filled the empty spot in
our home and our hearts.

Lance is so adorable and has the most wonderful dispositon. Lance is a
year old now and he loves to go everywhere we go and he sleeps with us.
He has slept with us since the day we brought him home. Lance loves
everyone and is very special to us.
