How about randomly stopping by so we can see for ourselves? Then you can accurately and honestly advertise your puppy mill.

We absolutely love our miniature poodle from Aria's Friends. She is almost 4 months old now and has been a sweet and very healthy pup and a perfect addition to my family. Their communication was great and it's clear that Aria's team really loves their dogs.

Good breeders don't typically have multiple AKC violations. Zero justification for this. Get a dog from someone who doesn't torture animals.
Owners ask where I got my info from, The Humane Society annual "Horrible Hundred" list, lol. Sounds like they're really slandering you!
"Rebecca and Tim Stille/Aria's Friends, Faribault, Minnesota: AKC breeder had recurring violations for
mother dogs with nursing puppies who did not have adequate space, and veterinary care concerns. USDA
inspectors found veterinary care violations at three different visits to Aria’s Friends in 2023 alone, along with
other issues. In September 2023, a mother dog with four nursing puppies was found in an enclosure that was too
small. USDA inspectors had noted similar violations in 2016, 2017 and 2018; each time, inspectors told the
breeder that one or more dogs did not have enough space. There were also violations for veterinary care issues
in earlier years, indicating the breeder was aware of the rules but repeatedly chose not to follow them. Issues go
back to at least 2016, when inspectors said there was so much feces in some of the enclosures that the dogs had
difficulty walking without getting soiled by feces. The breeder's website indicates she registers puppies with the
American Kennel Club, which has repeatedly lobbied against laws that would require better conditions at
commercial breeding facilities and help stop puppy mills. USDA #41-A-0489, MN #998693."

Our 15 yo is going strong. He has grown up with our children and we could not have asked for a better dog.

Irresponsible breeding! Aria’s breeds poodles with terminal genetic disorders. Both my miniature poodles (and the mother/dam) DIED from Cushing’s disease. This is genetic and was passed to BOTH my girls from their mother. Both my girls were from the same liter. Becky SOLD puppies from both litters born to this dam and NEVER told anyone about the Cushing’s disease. It’s entirely possible she BRED those females too! One of my girls additionally had a poodle specific genetic cataract eye disease. Becky consistently claimed health problems every time the questions got hard in an effort to avoid all responsibility for her behavior. If you’re unhealthy, how is it that you continue to breed dogs?! Litters of puppies are a significant commitment! She also fails to provide proper papers for her “pure bred” poodles because she does so much under the table breeding, it’s not possible for her to even keep track of the lineage. Again, when you ask, you are either completely avoided or she placates with a list of excuses meant to distract you so you feel sorry for her and leave her alone. But she’s always healthy enough to take your money!My decision to trust Becky’s business practices and her word was one of the most DEVASTATING & HEARTBREAKING choices I’ve ever made. Not to mention the financial commitment two terminally ill dogs create. Vet bills were enormous but these are my fur kids and I was willing to help them in any way!I’m sure the woman who cleans her cages will be responding to my review with more lies Becky told her. I’ve been relentlessly targeted in my grief for telling my story by someone who is not educated in Veterinary medicine, never paid the Vet bills nor was involved in this situation. That’s okay, as long as my girls have their story told!!If I can deter anyone from purchasing an animal from these people, I will do some measure of justice for my girls. This establishment should absolutely be shut down!
