It’s morally wrong to buy from this N.Ireland puppy farm
Do not buy from here unless you want to encourage puppy farming, because they are a 300 kennel licensed puppy farm in Ireland, shipping over hundreds of cut price dogs. You will never see the mother (absolutely essential) although they will show you a photo of some random dog of the same breed, nor the conditions in which they are bred in Ireland. Go to a proper breeder where you can see the puppies with their mother. Yes, you may get a healthy dog from here but there are reviews on here which show this is not always the case. I almost bought a puppy from here, placed a deposit, but the next morning when I had read reviews I pulled out. I could not buy from a puppy farm. Deposit not returned as I had signed a form! I later found a good breeder who had the mother and father at home with the puppies. Yes, I paid a lot more for a kc registered dog but I know where it has come from and my conscience is clear that I have not encouraged another puppy farm. Please think before you buy from here.
Google Warrington guardian’s article on puppy farming September 2024 and BBC’s documentary
In reply to the comment below- I visited the kennels (near Warrington) on the 8th May and spent an hour there, paid a deposit on a puppy but pulled out. So my review is not from someone who has never visited you, unless you are referring to your 300 kennels in N. I. Yes, they are licensed in Northern Ireland to breed 300 puppies. Is that where you really want your puppy to come from, without seeing it with it's mother?

Avoid like the plague
Purchased our bocker (beagle/cockerspaniel) puppy from here in January 2022. Fell in love with him and his brother when we first seen them. We have always had dogs our last being a husky (who are very hard to train) who passed away in 2020 so we felt ready to welcome a new dog into the house. He was fine at first like a normal playful puppy but at about 6 months old he became super aggressive and it was like a switch turned in him and he wouldn’t know what was going on himself. When we took him to the vets and explained how he was and they asked where he’d been purchased from they instantly told us it’s a puppy farm. We also contacted the dogs trust to see if they could offer us training (which they did but it didn’t work) and they also told us Kelly’s kennels was a puppy farm. Over the 2 years we had Reggie he got progressively more aggressive to the point we couldn’t have visitors in the house. We changed his food as per instructions from the vet to see if it was a gastro issue, we had blood tests completed but couldn’t find a resolution. Eventually at the beginning of 2024 after discussions with the vets and between our family we decided the best thing for Reggie was for him to be put to sleep as we believe he had a neurologically issue and it was clear he wasn’t in a good state of mind most of the time. (This is a very very long story short).
If you type Kelly’s kennels into google there are plenty of reports/panorama documentaries about where they bread their puppies in Northern Ireland. Yes they might be above board here but they are importing dogs from NI who are just breeding machines tho them to make money and sending puppies under 8 weeks old over here away from their mums.
Looking back it was completely obvious when we arrived this was a puppy farm - mum wasn’t available to be seen with the puppies she was brought round (looking super tired and was obvious she’d literally just given birth so I would question if she was even our puppy mum as he was meant to be 10 weeks old).
Mums should be in with the puppies! Number 1 red flag!!
There shouldn’t be that many different puppies available for sale, how do they keep track of them all or make sure they are all fed properly etc when there are only a few members of staff- another red flag!
& it’s funny how all the positive 5* reviews of recent are those who’ve had their dogs for years and are very happy with them - clearly set up if you ask me!
I don’t doubt some of the puppies will live long healthy and happy lives however, it’s completely unethical what they are doing and in our poor Reggie’s case we chose to put him out of his misery before he got any worse and I’ve seen numerous similar cases. Like I said we’ve always had dogs, hard to train dogs be it that and never ever had a dog or even come across a dog who acted how Reggie did. It was super sad to watch an animal deteriorate as he did and look so confused not knowing what he was doing when he was attacking us.
If vets and the likes of dogs trust say this place is a puppy farm then it’s quite clear that it is!!
Do not buy a dog from here, it’s us purchasing from these places keeping them in business!
I’d also like to note it was clear from the member of staff we spoke to when purchasing that it was a suspicious place , she kind of warned us not to purchase but we fell in love to completely disregarded what she said!

Visited the kennels on two previous occasions to get a feel for the organisation and the breeds on offer, The staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming and the puppies looked in good health, I purchased a cavapoo and have to say he is absolutely adorable, He was a bit timid at first which is normal in new surroundings but within a few hours was playing with our cat.
Was given a comprehensive puppy pack and safe in the knowledge I could contact them with any questions, I am very pleased with my purchase from them.

Please do avoid this place
Please do avoid this place. They try to fool you by claiming they care about their pups while breeding them by the hundreds in one of the largest vile puppy farms in Northern Ireland if not Europe. Money grubbers taking advantages of loopholes in the legislation and people's naivety, do not contribute to animals suffering by buying puppies from them .

Value to live alone individuals
My brother made all the visits to you on my behalf and was highly complimentary of the high standard and professional present. I was extremely satisfied with the dog being to me in Scotland as I am HM forced veteran and the new dog is my company as I live alone and have mobility problems name is now Rosie and starting to settle well. Started to use dog bed of my previous dog which was a Chihuahua seems to love it

Got my Maltipo at Kelly's I've named her Chloe 🙂 best decision I made she has settled in perfectly and is thriving, she has a lovely nature with lots of energy, which is what I wanted, she loves her walks & playtime.
I got her at 16wks old & she is growing beautifully.
The ladies at Kelly's were very helpful & explain everything clearly, your given a pack with all your puppy's vaccination history & a bag of food to start you off, and all there details to call should you need any help.
I would definatly recommend 👌 I have a healthy puppy who is thriving.
Thank you.
I would love to send some pictures but can't on here.

No regrets
My baby was born September 2020 we purchased in December 2020 and he is the best. I don’t understand the negative reviews because I couldn’t have asked for a better dog. He’s beautiful, friendly, loving, amazing personality, fun, energetic, healthy. I could go on and on. I can tell his parents were also amazing to have created such a gem. Thank you Kelly’s Kennels

We got are puppy two years ago
We got are puppy two years ago , and she’s a bundle of joy , with a friendly personality to match , apart from when the post man arrives 🤦♂️ we found the staff at Kelly’s kennels very friendly, and the puppies were very well looked after ..
Avoid!
Where do I start? My first impression of the place, Kellys Kennels was a very small building with the puppies kept in cubicles on a bed of what looks like wood shavings (easy to jump out of), they were provided with water, food, toys and the puppies looked healthy, however I got the impression the staff just wanted a quick sale, they were rude from the off, were not very helpful and never gave any info on the puppy’s parents (I purchased), despite the contract I signed, stating I would be given information on mum and dad before I bought my dog and the lady who sold him to me, promising to email information to me, told me on the day I bought him her printer was broke. I have sent photos of my dog to Kellys Kennels but weirdly they don’t seem to be interested in him, despite advertising on their website they support you after you buy your puppy (this is a lie they don’t answer phone or email, they no longer have Instagram or facebook, funnily enough). The only positive thing I have got from this place is my dog, it’s a shame I can’t say the same thing about the people selling the puppies.

Bought my dachshund from here in jan 2021
After bringing my puppy home she was being sick a lot and ear infection as well as making a funny sound when breathing !
Also started with hair loss
I went to my vet who was treating the ear infection and hair loss as mites under the skin
Also had to have lots and lots of different blood test and scans as just wasn’t getting any better ! It then resulted in my poor girl being hospitalised for kennel cough and put on oxygen and Iv drips and scan with a possible liver problem?
Luckily after 2 days and thousands spent she came home and is in the best place
Please no one buy from them there’s so much neglect there all so scared the pups and noticed alot of them including mine when visiting a lot of saliva coming from there mouth as there so frightened
After contacting due to my pups poor health they are not interested and have very bad attitudes

we bought our puppy from here in January he is delightful full of fun and a great companion , the staff were great and gave us lots of time to look around but our puppy chose me he climbed into my arms and I was smitten , now eleven months old and so loving ,
This is a puppy factory.
This is a puppy factory.
There is an article in the Warrington Guardian about this place, and many reviews pointing out the fact.
If you buy a puppy from here you are complicit with animal cruelty.
Think about the Mother, not just the baby.
Just another mass dog breeder
Just another mass dog breeder using the loopholes, dogs mass bred in Ireland, no pedigrees given, ask to see puppy with its mum, they can't because mum's in Ireland avoid avoid avoid!!

I came to kelly kennels with my kids in January 24. We came away with a gorgeous little maltipoo boy. The staff here are very helpful and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone seeking a puppy.
Good luck getting through to them
Try getting through to them don't bother I was ringing to ask if they have any malshi's in there's 3 numbers on the website along with a email address I rang the 3 numbers one was not available one just rang out and the other went straight to voicmail they don't answer the phone they don't reply to email they must only sell to people who walk in total joke of a business I have tried on numerous dates.
Positive experience
We bought our pomtese from kellys in 2022 and went back for another 2 weeks later ,they were well socialised and were already trying to toilet outside .I would definitely recommend them
To be honest I felt I needed to write…
To be honest I felt I needed to write this due to comments made about their puppies being sick and having behavioural problems later on in life. I got my beautiful Cavachon girl from Kelly's in 2016 she is just coming up to 8 years old. Lexi was a super puppy, well socialised, beautiful temperament, great with people, children & other dogs and no behavioural problems whatsoever. I couldn't ask for a more perfect dog. I am going to be going back to get another one soon. I got my other Cavachon who is 2 years older from a local breeder and he came to me with worms & kennel cough and wasn't well socialised and is scared of his own shadow, so yes I wouldn't hesitate to get my next one from Kelly's. They have been in Business for over 30 years and are highly experienced in raising health, happy pups. I think they would have been closed down by now if they had puppy farm dogs in there guys. I speak as I find and their prices were off the scale during lockdown, but seem to be charging a fair price for them now, providing they don't increase them again. They raise healthy, happy pups so credit where it's due and I've been a dog owner for 34 years. If you'd had one of their puppies you wouldn't go anywhere else. I love my girl, she's the happiest, sweetest senior dog you could ever meet now and was a well reared pup by this breeder
