IMPRESSED!!
I saw her dogs in person last year at a show in Michigan, I was so impressed that I had to get one from her. The photos do not do them justice!!! Just wonderful looking dogs. We couldn't be happier with our Ridgeback. He is wonderful with our kids and with everyone. Obedient. Geese, he was a breeze to train him. He is just wonderful, I can't say it enough! THANKS!

Life Changing
Cheryl, this male puppy has changed our lives. We were mourning the loss of our Leo who lived to be 14 yrs old. He was our mixed Ridgeback who we loved so much. This Breeder was so understanding of our needs and when we came to visit to pick up our puppy, we were stunned at how loving and beautiful all of your dogs are. We can't thank you enough for the joy that you have put back in our hearts, for the empty void that you have filled. Thank you Cheryl and GOD BLESS YOU!

Nice Dogs
You have some of the nicest dogs that I have ever seen. I have been to this Breeder and all of the dogs met us at the gate and welcomed us in. We have never been around this breed and went to visit Cheryl and her dogs so that we could evaluate if this is the right breed for us. Well, we were amazed at how loving and affectionate this breed is. We are so excited to add a puppy to our home when they arrive. The dog Powell is gorgeous! Simbu was the most affectionate dog that we have ever met. He insisted on hugging and leaning all over us and walking between our legs and giving us kisses. This breeder is a great representation of this breed in what she produces and we are just so excited to get our puppy when he arrives. I would recommend this breeder to anyone wanting to learn about this amazing breed or meet this breeder. Cheryl knows everything about this breed. Her dogs are just gorgeous. We couldn't be happier in finding this breeder. Thanks so much.

Loving Boy
I got a great loving male puppy from this breeder. He is the smartest puppy that i have ever had. he is so gentle with my 5 children and he sleeps in their beds every night. The temperament on this puppy is exceptional and we were so pleased when harley came off the plane. he came out right away and wagging his tail and kissing our faces. We couldn't be happier to have a Lionhounds puppy. We look forward to getting another puppy from you later in the year or next spring 2010. Thank you so much Cheryl for breeding outstanding Ridgebacks. Your hard work has paid off. What a blessing. N.Fell

GREAT DOGS!
This Breeder has awesome dogs. Their photos don't due them justice. The male Powell was one of the most stunning Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I have ever laid eyes on. My husband and I got one of his awesome babies and smart! I had this puppy house trained in 1 day. We are enjoying him so much and can't wait for Cheryl to teach us the ropes in the show ring with our Prince! If anyone is wanting a top show quality, I would suggest Lionhounds. You really do get what you pay for!! Thanks again Cheryl!

I have been there
This breeder has the cleanest facility that I have ever been to. Her dogs were very friendly and came to me and I was welcomed with hugs and kisses. Anyone that says otherwise about this breeder is a liar. I am glad that I did investigating before buying a puppy. I was almost ripped off by other breeders, but when we met with Cheryl. She is exactly who she says that she is. She has the most incredible dogs that I have ever seen in this breed. She is an EXPERT in our opinion on this breed. Cheryl, you are an open book and a wealth of knowledge. I can't wait for you to help us show our boy. Thank you so much!! Your the BEST!! The Roff's

Best Breeder
I have visited several rescue places in searching for my perfect Rhodesian Ridgeback. I couldn't believe the way that a rescued dog lives. Small cages, confined quarters. They wanted to even do a home visit to see if my landscaping was approved to even be considered for a resuce. Thank God I met Cheryl! Her place was amazing. All of the dogs live like spoiled kids.

The best pets
We love-love-love our dogs! This Breeder is a rare find. We hand selected our first RR from Lionhounds, Cheryl Billedeau, almost two years ago. AND we loved the first one so much we had to get another (in May '08). They very quickly became members of the family. We did a good amount of research before selecting Lionhounds (including an impromptu visit). Our dogs are in excellent health and our local Vet has complimented this breeder as well. One of our pups turned out to be a natural in the show ring so we visit Lionhounds on a regular basis. We have also boarded our dogs at Lionhounds - they LOVE it there! Thank you Cheryl. You're a blessing!

Wonderful Breeder
Cheryl has to be one of the most knowledgable people in her breed. Her attention to her dogs are exceptional. She is very informative and cares about educating us in this breed. We have never owned a RR before. Before meeting Cheryl, we contacted alot of other Breeders who were not very nice to us. Especially the ones from that RRCUS. We contacted several Breeders on that list and they were not at all nice to us. Most of them said that we had to have our house inspected and that we had to wait on a 3 year waiting list for one of their dogs. Well, Cheryl spent hours with us answering all of our questions and concerns. I would recommend Cheryl to ANYONE wanting a quality, well-tempered, healthy Rhodesian Ridgeback.
