Debbielynn was great to work with. I got to meet my Sadie and spend time with her before I took her home. I was able to purchase the crate that she was sleeping in so that she was comfortable in her transition. Debbielyn took Sadie to the vet and had her groomed which was paid by me but very helpful to get done as a new dog owner. I received some toys that were known to Sadie for her transition. Sadie was well socialized and handles well, not afraid of people. All and all I had a great experience and felt that Debbielyn gave Sadie lots of attention and loving during her first few months of life. Sadie is a joy and I'm delighted to have her in my family!

Debbielyn was amazing! Very responsive and kind. I was able to jump on a call with her to see the puppies beforehand, which was great because I had to drive a good distance to get to her. So seeing the puppies (and the parents!) beforehand was essential. She also answered any questions I had and gave me some toys and food to get started with.
She takes great care of her dogs; you can tell they are very loved. I’m so glad I found Debbielyn and my new pup. I would definitely work with her again!

Debbielyn was so responsive and was able to answered all and any small or large questions that I had. You can tell the dogs are well taken care of and that debbielyn loves them with her entire heart. Escape ( now called Hermes) has been great addition to the family. Him and sister get along well together.
