"Bailey made it so easy for us to get our dog, and we are really happy with our little puppy to. She is so sweet, I would definitely get another dog from this breeder. She kept us updated about our puppy and sent us plenty of cute pictures. She made it easy for us to pick up our puppy and gave us a few tips on taking her home and what to feed her. Our puppy has a great disposition and is a fast learner. From our experience this has been the easiest we have ever gotten a dog before.

Bailey was awesome and continues to be awesome! She really cares for her breeding dogs as well as the pups that come! I’m a first time dog owner and she was very helpful in guiding me towards the right dog and best practices. Even after buying my puppy she is still always available to answer any questions and see how the dog is still doing. If I had room for more dogs I would definitely get more from Bailey!
