Elmer & Barbie Lapp of Rocky Top Kennels are the best! They invest so much love and attention into their dogs and puppies and it shows! As their puppy photographer I get an inside glimpse of their program and I love what I see! Happy mom and dad dogs, wiggly fresh smelling puppies, and excellent care on all levels. If you are looking for an honest and reputable breeder you can't go wrong working with Rocky Top Kennels! ~Hannah @ Fetch Photography

Great people and Zoey (Brenda) is the sweetest puppy . She has done amazing so far . Made us feel so welcome when we arrived ! Thank you so much !!!

Barbie and Elmer were amazing throughout the entire long distance process. From answering my many phone calls and endless questions, to making sure Navy (formerly Bella) was exactly what we were looking for and a perfect fit for our family. On January 13,2024 we drove 16.5 hrs to pick her up, and would do it again. Navy is such a wonderful puppy. She is so sweet, smart, gentle, just a perfect puppy. She embodies everything wonderful about cocker spaniels. The love and attention Navy received from Barbie, Elmer, and their family shows. If we are ever looking for another puppy in the future, we would make the 33 hr round trip again to purchase a puppy from this breeder. Thank you for helping us bring Navy into our family. We love her!

Charlie ( previously Buster ) is fantastic and a loved member of our family. He quickly became acclimated to our house and has learned to sit and spin and is learning to give his paw. He loves the snow and runs around with boundless energy. Elmer and Barbie are very nice and they were not only concerned to find Charlie a forever home but they wanted to make sure that he fit what we were looking for. We would reccomend getting a dog from them.

I am so thankful with Elmer and Barbie! My experience with them was the best, from calling them to inquire about the pets, to the moment I picked my baby up! They are so sweet and respectful! I picked Zeus up when he was 12 weeks, and was almost completely potty trained, did not have a hard time getting him used to going out to potty. His previous name was Conrad, now his name is Zeus and he brought a lot of love and happiness to our home, and for that I will be always thankful! They are the best breeders I have ever met!

It’s been just shy of a month since we picked up this puppy. Previously Charlie , now Thor has been a wonderful addition to our family . Firstly what I was most shocked by is this dog came completely potty trained ! We got him at 12 weeks old and he never had a single accident in the house . When we pulled up to see the puppies they were affectionately snuggling with Barbie’s two sons , you can tell they were loved. All in all a great experience . My three children adore this puppy and so do my fiancé and I . Very happy with this breeder !
