Sonic Pride Labradors

Update on our blond female from Sonic. She is wacky, funny, and very girly. We had a huge black male Lab who we lost 5 days before we were drawn to Sonic Labs. We are a Lab family. Our Belle doesn’t retrieve tennis balls like our old Bogie. She doesn’t scarf down her food like a Lab. She is just now eating two meals a day at age 16 months. However, she is incredibly beautiful and stops both traffic and pedestrians. And, while she doesn’t retrieve tennis balls, she is a hellava soccer and frisby player. Belle is absolutely awesome!

One star is too many!!!
Kellae was very friendly, helpful and responsive until I contacted her that the puppy I bought from her had been admitted to the vet hospital with PARVO. The diagnosis was given 48 hours from us having her. Just so everyone is aware parvo has a 8 – 10 day incubation period. Each vet I talked to told me that the puppy was sick when I got her! I immediately contacted Kellae and all I got was excuses as to why the puppy was sick and complete denial. I asked for the money back for the price of the puppy and she ignored my request. The health guarantee at Sonic Pride is not a guarantee at all. Just beware — the puppies are far too expensive at Sonic Pride if you have to turn around and invest far more!

Got my dog Charlie here last May of 2013. Best decision I ever made getting my bestfriend from here. Kalae and her family are beyond welcoming and treat you like a part of their family the minute you meet them. They raise and breed high quality Labradors that are are not only great as a hunting partners. But as a friend and companion as well. If you want a best friend and pal for life get a Labrador here at Sonic Pride Labs!

Sometimes personalities/​communication just doesn’t click, and that could be a contributing factor to the negative reviews.
My experience with Kellae and Sara, is that they have been responsive and more than compassionate whether I’m having a problem, or I just want to share a billion pictures and videos of our puppy (because everyone else is tired of hearing me about her). I chose them because they were not snobby like other breeders that I had contacted, and they were willing talk to me without talking down to me about raising puppies. The puppy that you get from them will be well socialized and well loved.

We purchased our chocolate lab puppy from Sonic Pride on Valentine’s Day of this year. Little Joe has turned into a wonderful part of our family and is happy and healthy. We were very pleased with the service we received and I know I could call at any time and get advice. We haven’t needed any help because he is trouble free — well he is a lab puppy so a little trouble is part of the deal ;)
We would definitely recommend Sonic Pride to anyone looking for a lab.

We have had several Labs and Golden Retrievers over the years and by far we put Sonic Pride Labs at the top of the list. We have had the best experience right from the start with Kellae, Ron and the rest of the family. Our Champagne Lab, Remi is such a great dog. Loyal attentive and the best personality one could ask for. You guys and your Dogs are the BEST…

I bought my yellow male, Cassidy, from these folks a little over two years ago. He is my second yellow, the first passing at nearly 16 a few months ago. Cassidy is an incredibly sweet, calm (for a lab, haha), healthy, intelligent dog. He goes to work with me daily and is highly socialized with both people and dogs. Kallae and Ron were easy and professional to deal with and all of the dogs at their kennel appear happy and healthy, most running loose and not confined to cages. I’m beginning to have thoughts of a companion for Cass and will not hesitate to go back to Sonic Pride. The reason for four stars is that I never give any review five as there is always room for improvement.

Our Sonic Pride pup is 13 months old (we got her at 12 weeks), and she is a rock star in our family! She is drop-​dead gorgeous, sweet, SMART, athletic, healthy, and very mellow for a lab puppy. We aren’t hunters, but we believe she would be dynamite in the field because she is a water-​ball dog to the max. Kellae, Sara, and Ron were such a pleasure to work with that we felt like part of the family by the time we brought our puppy home. We are mystified by the negative reviews here and wanted to weigh in on our excellent experience with Sonic Pride. Would we buy another dog from this breeder? Yes. Absolutely.

Got a pup from them a couple years ago. Kellae was great to work with in the beginning. When you start she comes to you with open arms, and is very informative. When we brought our dog home, she had this ongoing chronic diarrhea. I contacted Kellae on several occasions and never once got a call back. The one time I got a hold of her, she was very defensive and argumentative on the phone. After seeing 5 different Internal Medicine vets, I resorted to taking her to UC Davis Vet animal hospital. The doctor diagnosed her with Antibiotic responsive diarrhea and put her on a 1 month long course of antibiotics and special prescription diet food. Our dog has a wonderful temperament and is very active, however she is now showing early signs of neurological problems. They also breed these so called «silver» labs. I have talked with other people in this industry and they too have similar experiences with these dogs coming from this breeder. Buyer beware, do your homework and don’t make the same mistakes we did.

Sara– For one thing I did not leave multiple voice messages. that is just simply untrue. I called 3 times after receiving the email saying the puppy was no longer available. The 1^st time I got your voice mail as I started leaving a message it seemed like someone hung up on me because all of a sudden the call was ended. So I called again. The 2^nd time a male answered the phone and before I could say what I was calling about said you have the wrong number and hung up. the 3^rd time He answered again and said that Kellae was not there but would call me back which never happened. I never left multiple distraught messages. I wasn’t distraught at all. I was simply trying to find out what the situation was due to the fact that My husband and I had both taken off work to drive 2 hours to look at the dog and right before we leave she sends us a one sentence email saying the dog is no longer available.
For anyone looking to buy a dog from these people– I found this link quite interesting:
Make sure you ask for their dogs OFA certification numbers… After we did they suddenly didn’t want to do business with us anymore
Very shady!
