Douglas Hall Kennels
My niece sadly lost her puppy, due to negligence from the Kennels. Upon further investigation of the alleged 5 ⭐️ rated kennels, this business dropped it star rating by 4 ⭐️ for both breeding and sale of puppies by the local council (Pendle Borough Council) for the full year of 2024… this surely speaks volumes, and shows the rapid decline of star rating issued from a governing body!! Please see attached the star rated Animal Welfare certificates issued by Pendle Borough Council.

Response from Douglas Hall Kennels Ltd
Thank you for your comment Michelle. We are aware that a number of 1-star reviews have been posted today following a single situation involving a family member. While we completely understand that emotions can run high after the loss of a puppy, many of the reviews being posted are from individuals who have never visited Douglas Hall Kennels, never purchased a puppy from us, and have had no direct experience with our business.
We feel it’s important to clarify the facts for anyone reading:
✅ We are fully licensed and regulated by Pendle Borough Council and operate in full compliance with all DEFRA Animal Welfare Regulations.
✅ Our star rating is set by local licensing officers, not by customers or online reviews.
✅ A change in star rating does not indicate a welfare issue — it can occur for administrative council policy changes, or that we do not Kennel Club register our puppies (due to our litters being bred to be pets only and not for breeding or show purposes etc).
✅ Our animals are cared for under strict welfare standards, with full veterinary oversight, appropriate socialisation, and transparent processes that all visitors can see for themselves.
Regarding the situation referred to:
The puppy in question did not become unwell while in our care. The issue developed later, after leaving us, and was unfortunately not treated in the necessary timeframe. Despite this, we still offered a refund, which the purchaser accepted. We again extend our sympathies for their loss — losing a puppy is heartbreaking for anyone.
We welcome anyone to visit our premises, meet our staff, meet our puppies, see our facilities, and view our licensing documents. Transparency is, and has always been, central to how we operate.
We will continue focusing on the care and welfare of our puppies and the support we provide to the many families who choose us.
Thank you to our genuine customers who continue to visit, recommend, and support us.

Responding to your response 05/11/2025
Thank you for you lengthy yet repetitive response. I note that you have copied and pasted a lot of your response to me from other review responses. Unless you have this as a scripted response that send out to all your negative reviews.
Whilst I understand your response I am at a loss as to your comment around my opinion having never visiting your premises. Surely that’s what the whole review system is set up for to give your future customers an insight into how previous customers rate their experiences in using your services? I don’t need to visit as I have a family member who has had 1st hand experience with yourselves and her account in dealing with your business in the purchase of a puppy from your establishment. The sad fact in all of this is that the puppy in question has lost its life due to inadequate details and due diligence with documentation whilst also not being adequately vaccinated at the correct time and to add further inadequacies had contracted conjunctivitis upon sale.
Again I re-iterate your comment on the stars and I was talking about your license rating from a governing body and not a review site. Surely your comment about the registration of your animals with the Kennel Club is an excuse as you would never have been awarded a 5 ⭐️ rating in the first place without that and as for a change in councillors surely there are protocols that need to be met rather than an individual’s own decision in issuing rated licensing documents, unless something untoward was occurring in previous years issuing of licence to explain the high ratings!!!
As for your transparency at no point was a full refund offered or assistance with the excruciating amount you vet bills the poor little mite had to endure. I think your scripted response is an insult to my intelligence and then to add more insult to injury you thank your genuine customers for their continued support. If my niece is not a genuine customer and you want to disregard and ignore her 1st hand account in dealing with your establishment you clearly should not be in business.

My dog came from here and died as a pup because of there lack of care his vaccinations was wrong and he picked up an illness while in there care we did everything we could to get him healthy again but these dogs are mixed together and are all let out to play together with no vaccines or wrong vaccines in our case witch causes them to get these problems they are also taken away from there mothers way to young and are sold without there mothers even tho Lucy’s law clearly states they mother should be present when the dog is being sold
In 2024 they had a 1 star review for the whole year so it’s crazy how they have managed to get back up to 5 stars in such little time and there is clearly something not right

I wouldn't leave a single star for a review if it was an option... Zero stars! Do not buy a pup from this establishment. Within 6 months our Arthur had lost his life down to neglect in his early life from this establishment.

How good this place is
I love this place because you don’t even have to go and buy a dog to go there. Today I got a Cavapoochon and he is very well trained for puppy mats as we only got him today.
Staff are lovely and give really good advice.

Antwort von Douglas Hall Kennels
Great access to the pups
Easy to deal with, and great access to the pups so you can get a really good feeling about the dogs nature

We bought our healthy vibrant puppy
My daughter visited the kennels and fell in love with our little Cavapoo.
I visited the following day and we were welcomed by the owners and left to snuggle her and other puppies. She appeared the quietest of the litter and enjoyed being cuddled.
We finally decided on our Pippa and arranged to pick her up the day after her vacciations.
Pippa was ready with her documents and puppy food.
The owners explained important information and we then took Pippa home.
We were advised that if we had any questions or not sure about anything to just phone the kennels.
I received a courtesy call after a few weeks to see how Pippa was settling in and if I had anything I needed advice on.
Great service.

I can honestly say Bailey is a beautiful cavapoochon we got from Douglas Hall kennels. We found the kennels clean and puppies well looked after. We absolutely 💯 recommend them.

Dogs are clearly well looked after
Dogs are clearly well looked after. Kennels were always clean and I loved that you can just turn up anytime during opening hours. Staff were lovely too and really knowledgeable about breeds.

Antwort von Douglas Hall Kennels
Very friendly and experienced
Very friendly and accommodating when we were first thinking of buying a puppy. We know 2 dogs that previously came from Douglas Hall and are just adorable so it was a no brainer to go there when we made the decision to get a puppy of our own. Staff on site are very knowledgeable and we found them always reassuring and full of useful advice.

Antwort von Douglas Hall Kennels
Absolutely Amazing
The experience from start to finish was absolutely amazing the staff are so friendly and approachable and keen to answer all and any questions put to them about the breeds/pups. My family as a whole have bought 4 dogs from them and they’re all absolutely wonderful loving beautiful dogs. If you’re a first time buyer this is definitely the place for you.

Antwort von Douglas Hall Kennels
Warm and welcoming on arrival
Warm and welcoming on arrival. So helpful and could not do enough for you. Advice and support from the purchase of our little Ted ( cavapoo) until the day we collected him. Highly recommend this lovely family business in a beautiful location.

Purchasing a puppy
We purchased a cockapoo in August. It is the second puppy we have purchased with them. You can spend times with the pups and take your time choosing one. They have generally already been chipped and had at least one vaccination. You get a puppy pad to take them home and a bag of food. You can phone them any time for advice. The people who run it are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely purchase from them again.

Our cockapoo baby
We purchased the most beautiful cockapoo puppy who we have named honey . I know a lot of people would say don’t buy a puppy if you don’t see the parents with them , however what you must bare in mind puppies over 8 weeks would not be with their mums any way .
The kennels are clean and puppies are all well pampered by owners and the public . You are also advised to take your puppy to a vet within 24-48 hours of purchase and if anything is wrong or picked up the puppy can be returned and a refund is given .
We did just this and our girl was perfect she’s settled in fabulous and is about to go for her first groom in the coming week . She great on and off the lead and has learnt sit paw and lie down within days she is so clever . She is very cheeky but all puppies are and loves her basket if toys . Douglas hall then contact you by phone to see how the puppy is settling in which I think is great .
Our honey is beautiful and we would purchase again in the future and recommend .
Our puppy had also picked up house training so quick considering they are kennelled . She can how ever do tiny excited wees when someone comes in but on the whole this is through excitement and has got a lot better as the weeks have gone by
On the whole great experience and we have a great puppy to love

The Douglas Hall Kennels were chosen after researching various establishments and reading the reviews from others. They were the right choice.
Betty is a beautiful, healthy, clever, mischievous and loving little cockapoo with a beautiful temperament. As someone said after meeting Betty, your house is now a home!
Very welcoming and knowledgeable
Very welcoming and knowledgeable. Easy experience and well supported.
Albie is absolutely fantastic and as he was a little bit older (4 months) when we got him his comfort around other dogs and people is a testament to how he’s been reared as a young puppy

We had been a few times to see the puppies and every time we visited we was always made to feel at ease and if we needed any help then they would be there. We went back at the end of June and decided to buy our little max the Cavapoo. It was such an easy choice and we had so much help from the people who worked there. It was all so quick and straight forward. He’s been home now just over 3 weeks and it’s like he has always been here. We had a phone-call yesterday of Eric to see how he was settling in which I thought was great, that they checked in and they told us they would always be here if we needed advice or help. Our experience has been great and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone to buy a puppy or even just visit to see them.

I had a wonderful experience at thr Douglous and it was not a one off , it was several wonderful experiences over several weeks .
I had chosen my puppy a gorgeous Cavapoo but I was still waiting on work to be done at my home ready for my puppy to come home , so the douglas remained looking after my little baby for a month longer than normal so I could get things sorted & in that time I came with my best friend every week to spend time with my puppy.
The staff were great , we had no issues of when we wanted to come or how long we wanted to stay, nothing was a problem, nothing was an issue , each week we would come and bond with our puppy and then it came to finally pop picking him to come home .
He settled in very quickly, he is very sociable, he is very loving, he is very well behaved , he sleeps all through the night wiit no accidents , everyone under the sun stop us wherever we go to stroke him and say hello to him because he is so cute and adorable , he is great with dogs, with children and he has not barked once yet apart from once in his sleep .
He really is a dream , he got a clean bill of health from my own vets and it feels like he has been with me for years .
I highly recommend the Douglous , they are nice people , Neurodivergent friendly, open to anytime you want to know and will do anything to help you out or support whatever you need support with , I could not have asked for a better service and I tell everyone now who asks where I got my cute as a button cavapoo from and proudly so. This is a family run business and I am now a loyal customer and when it comes to getting another puppy or suggesting a place to someone they are always on the top of my list.
I have know idea what magic they sprinkled on my cavapoo but he is like a little angel.
If you are not sure go and visit for yourself and see.....you won't be disappointed
Lots of love Lord Charles & Darlow.xx
