Choteau Creek Kennels

I'll write a follow up review later on.. but we've in the process of purchasing a St. Bernard for about 4 months now and Marian has been a pleasure to work with. We had to wait 2 litters to get the rough coat male that we wanted but he's finally here! We're picking him up at the end of the Month and we can't wait. Marian has been extremely responsive and so far has been great to work with.

We purchased a Saint Bernard from Marian Ymker on Dec/2017. Fast forward a year later and our dog is diagnosed with bladder cancer. We reached out to the breeder to ask questions, and she never responded. The day after we received our dog, she stopped responding to any of our emails. We had followed up per our contract with vet visits and also for his first birthday, but she never responded. From what our specialist said, this condition could be hereditary and give that our dog was just 1 year old, he thinks the breeder should have some acknowledgement of the illness. It’s been heartbreaking for the entire family and very frustrating that the breeder doesn’t respond.

I adopted a pup from Marion 5 years ago. We spoke on the phone many times, and as a person, I think Marion is great, but as a breeder she is not. My Nala has so many genetic problems. Bilateral hip dysplasia, kidney problems, to name the big ones. Thank goodness I purchased pet insurance for her because she has had a lot of vet visits. We love her to pieces and could never imagine our lives without our Nala, but to see her struggle everyday with her problems is very hard on a family.
