Here are some reviews from past puppy-adopters. I have used their initials and just their state to keep their information private.

“Our girl Ruby is healthy and a great family addition. She’s doing great. She is so sweet and loving to our entire family. She adjusted well to our 1 year old Golden Doodle. Working with R&D Farms was enjoyable start to finish. The website is clear and communication is prompt, if you have any questions. Everything happened as breeder advised with no surprises. It was truly a great experience. Great people with love for their dogs. Definitely would recommend to anyone interested in a Saint. Thanks R&D!”

“Fantastic breeders of beautiful Saint Bernard puppies! DeLila is so informative and helpful during the adoption process from start to finish! These pups are so well cared for and loved from the start! Couldn’t ask for a better experience with adopting our first pure bred dog! 5 star rating!”

“We recently brought home our fur baby, Teddy, from R&D Farms. The process has been amazing from start to finish. After choosing the puppy we wanted, DeLila kept us posted with pictures and videos for us to watch him grow through the next few weeks until we were able to pick him up. All questions we had were answered in a very timely manner and very thorough. Teddy had his first vet visit and we were told he is 100% healthy and one of the prettiest Saint Bernards the vet has ever seen. I am so grateful to find such a great breeder. We highly recommend R&D Farms! I could go on and on with how great they are!”

“We had been searching for the right St. Bernard breeder for many months. We were so lucky to find Ron and DeLila from R&D Farms. From the first moment we connected with them, we knew we had found the right place for the next 4-legged addition to our family. It was clear they put so much love and care into raising and breeding their St. Bernards. They stayed in constant communication and updated us frequently on the health of our puppy. Our puppy is healthy and strong with an amazing temperament. He has brought so much joy to our family, and we can’t wait to bring home another pup from R&D Farms in the next few years. R&D Farms, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts because Duncan is truly a ray of sunshine in our lives each and every day!”

“DeLila was a pleasure to work with. She explained everything about St.’s behavior and their need as they grow. She was always updating me with photos and videos so I could watch my puppies play and enjoy their litter mates which helped me develop a bond with my new babies. I’m super happy we decided to get puppies from her and I highly suggest her as a breeder as she truly cares for and wants the best for her dogs.”

“We LOVE our R&D Farms puppy! Clean bill of health from our vet! Totally worth the 6 hour drive! You should see Waffles when I take her into the schools. I swear she was born for therapy work! She’s an energetic, fun puppy at home, but when we go to work she is so calm! We only practice about once a week for a few minutes at school, but she’s amazing.”

“Hank is a loving and sweet puppy and growing into my life each day. In the short two weeks I have had him, he has developed a routine around my working schedule and taken each moment in stride. Although he is only 9 weeks old and weighs about 20 pounds, sometimes he acts like a little puppy, but at others his instincts take over and he behaves like a big dog. I felt prepared for ownership thanks to DeLila’s constant communication with me during the pre-ownership period, as well as the detailed information on Saint Bernards she provides on her website. There is truly no substitute for the companionship Hank provides me each day, and I feel blessed I found DeLila and Ron. Thank you and I highly recommend this breeder to folks who have the time and patience to care for a dog.”

“I want to thank you DeLila so much for our Potter. We love him so much. It was great getting updates on him up to the day he came into our lives. Not only is he the cutest ever, but such a smart boy. We will definitely adopt another from you and let everyone know to come there for their Saints. Thanks so much- Potter’s Mom and Dad.”

“Our Corey Diamond is the light of our lives and fits in our family perfectly! I have to say I’m so thankful that I reached out to R & D Farms for a St. Bernard. She is just what we were looking for — a family member to spend time with, teach, and enjoy life together. She is up for just about anything… hiking, car rides, playing in the yard with her toys, saying hello to neighbors, getting dirty in the mud and loving every minute! I was expecting the dirt, the slobber, and the shedding, but I did not expect that our family would fall in love so deeply and instantly with her! She loves people and she is outgoing and kind. In addition, children love her because of her size, of course. Corey is very smart and we believe that she can go “all the way” with the AKC training for citizen and become a therapy dog. We want her to enjoy the public by touring schools or the nursing homes in our area. We noticed that she is gentle even at her young age and she knows the command immediately. She would be an excellent therapy dog to help others and brighten their day just as she has our lives. Our lives are enriched beyond what we expected!”

“I recently purchased a male pup from DeLila Creak, R & D Farms out of Kentucky. Since it’s my first Saint (I’ve had Giant Malamutes), I did my homework regarding the breed and breeders. I’ve followed various litters from R & D Farms since March, as I wasn’t sure how soon I could adopt my pup which was born June 1. DeLila was super helpful with the process. It’s very heartwarming to see all her past litters living happy and healthy lives in their forever homes. My Clifford is no exception. He’s been the smartest pup I’ve ever had and the fastest growing! I totally recommend R & D Farms for your future pup.”

L.S.- Illinois

“A month ago we brought home our beautiful and healthy fur baby, Ting Ting, and she has been the most wonderful addition to our family! The adoption process with R & D Farms was seamless from the very start. DeLila is so helpful and informative- every week, she sent multiple video updates and pictures of Ting Ting so we could watch her grow over the first 8 weeks. She was always so willing to answer any and all questions we had throughout the process. Ting Ting is so smart and so well tempered, and we know that started with the love and care that R & D Farms provides to their Saint Bernard puppies from the get-go. We can’t recommend R & D Farms enough!”

“I definitely recommend this breeder. They show so much love towards their Saint Bernards. From the first time I spoke with DeLila Creak, I knew that’s where we would go to get our Saint Bernard. She was so kind and answered every question I had. She sent me weekly updates on our new puppy. We ended up getting two Saint Bernards and we just love them so much. The puppies are all well taken care of with shots, food, and love. When we picked up our beauties, we were handed the shot records, DNA records, and AKC registration forms. She really takes great care of her customers in making sure they are happy with their decision and for any kind of advice for the future. I’m so glad I met this breeder and got to know her and her love for her Giants. She is a busy woman, but takes great pride in these dogs. I highly recommend her.”

“My wife wanted a Saint Bernard for years. When we got our new house, we had a yard big enough for a Saint. So we started looking online for an honest breeder. After almost loosing $3000 to false breeders and fakes, we stumbled across R & D Farms in central Kentucky. Very honest, nice and professional farm folks. They have AKC registered Saint Bernards, that are very well taken care of and loved. They decide if you would be a good fit for one of their puppies. They want to make sure you fully understand what you are embarking upon. The puppies are great! Great temperament, very lovable, very healthy. Our vet loves Bella. And finally, their prices are very fair for such an outstanding puppy. We are very happy with Bella. She is so sweet and adorable and playful! I would highly recommend R & D Farms in central Kentucky!”

“We brought home Kona from R&D Farms, and we just adore her. She is beautiful, healthy, smart, and has the most wonderful disposition. Our vet was very pleased with her health and conformation. It is easy to tell that DeLila takes great care of mama and babies during the entire process. DeLila was wonderful to work with. She was informative and kind, and always made sure to keep us in the loop and give updates about our growing puppy. We traveled from California to pick up our new baby, and would not hesitate to recommend R&D Farms to anyone. It was worth the long trip for our Kona.”

“R&D Farms has been such a pleasure to work with in adopting our sweet St. Bernard, Chester Copperspot. The process was quick and easy. I enjoy following their Facebook page to see all of his siblings as they grow. Their website for St. Bernards is perfect and spot on. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

“I had been looking off and on for years for the “right” Saint Bernard puppy to join our family. I was fortunate to find R&D Farms through the AKC website and even more fortunate to learn that they still had a puppy available. I found their website to be very thorough, especially the extensive FAQ section. I enjoyed reading about all of their Saints and learning their story of how they got into breeding. After exchanging emails with DeLila- where she took the time to very honestly answer all of my questions- we set up a FaceTime call so that we could see our future family member. I really appreciated this extra step and the fact that she was willing to spend as much time with us as we needed. DeLila stayed in touch with us in the days leading up to our road trip to R&D Farms. When we met in person she was very helpful with information and advice. It is abundantly clear that DeLila cares deeply about their animals even after they leave the farm and that she does everything possible to give them a great start in life. DeLila’s genuineness and love for her fur babies gave us great comfort and made this an easy decision to our family. Our Apollo is healthy, funny, handsome, and an absolute delight. He is a great communicator and picked up on potty training very quickly. We are so grateful to have him in our lives. I would absolutely recommend R&D Farms for anyone looking for a beautiful, well-tempered Saint Bernard!

We picked up our new Saint Bernard puppy, Phoebe, on March 24, from DeLila and we couldn’t be more happy! Phoebe is the sweetest and cutest puppy. This whole process has been so easy and fun. DeLila sent us endless information on our puppy which included weekly pictures and updates of Phoebe. When we picked her up, DeLila had a whole folder for us on her vaccinations, pedigree/bloodline, starter pack of food, lead/leash, and of course Phoebe!! If a Saint Bernard is the breed for you, I highly recommend DeLila.

When my husband and I spoke to DeLila, we felt completely comfortable with the adoption process through R & D Farms. DeLila is so kind and exceeded our expectations with thorough communication and information. When Bonnie arrived at her new home, we quickly discovered that she is very intelligent and has the sweetest personality! She fits in perfect with our family. Thank you for a beautiful and healthy Saint Bernard!

We had such a wonderful experience adopting our new baby from R&D Farms! DeLila was wonderful to work with. She answered all our questions, sent lots of adorable pictures, and even met us on pick up day to help reduce our drive from Georgia. I started following R&D Farms on Facebook for several months before we were ready for another puppy (because I love to see all the pictures!), and I knew without a doubt we wanted to adopt through them when the time was right. They clearly love and care so much for all their Saints, and their farm looks like Heaven for Saint lovers! We’re so thankful for them and our new, sweet little girl!

I found R&D Farms on the internet. We had just lost our 3rd Saint and I was uneasy about purchasing without knowing anything about this breeder. After seeing Nana and Bear (which closely resembled the 2 Saints we lost), I felt I was in the right place. DeLila made the process so easy and made me feel relaxed about the litter. She sent pics after the birth and I could follow the growth of Nikita, which was priceless. She puts a lot of effort into the pregnancy, birth, and the litter. It was definitely apparent when I brought Nikita home. My vet wanted to know where I purchased her, because Nikita was so healthy. He is keeping DeLila’s info for future reference. I don’t think there is a breeder out there that cares about the adult Saints and litters as much as she does. Thanks for raising these Saints for all of us that can’t imagine life without them. I think DeLila might be a Saint as well!

B.G.- Kentucky

We were searching for a new St. Bernard. So we started doing some research and ended up picking R&D Farms. And we are so glad we did! DeLila was amazing throughout the entire process and always so accommodating on the many picture requests while we were waiting to bring Marley home. She has been an amazing puppy and a wonderful addition to our family. I highly recommend getting a puppy from them. They think of all the puppies as their grand babies.

I took Mayhem to the vet for shots today. They say he is just perfect! He has doubled his weight in the last two weeks! What a big boy he’s going to be! Thank you so much for bringing him into our family. The hardest part of the process was picking out which beautiful puppy to bring home. lol

R.R.- Illinois

Wylie is super smart already. He kennels up when he is asked and is learning to sit and lay down. His big brothers love him so much. He was the perfect addition to our crew and is settling in nicely!

A.C.- Kansas

We are so happy we found R&D Farms. DeLila was so wonderful to work with! She communicated with us about everything, and you can absolutely tell she loves every single dog so much! Mischa is such a fluffy little sweetheart! She’s already showing her personality. On her 8 hour car ride home, she didn’t whine unless she wanted to look out the window, and then my husband would lift her up so she could see out of the window. She’s very loved. Thank you again so much!

I cannot recommend R&D Farms enough!! Wonderful Christian people with Beautiful Saints!! Finding our puppy was seemingly a totally random thing until the breeder and I started talking!! She was actually baptized in our town’s lake years ago. And we know the pastor who baptized her! All I did on November 20th was say to my phone, “Siri, Saint Bernard puppies in my area.” And low and behold God did the rest. He works in mysterious ways, my friends. Praise His Name for His perfect providence. So thankful to have our puppy come from a Christian family. And Operation Christmas Surprise was a total success!!!!!
