Adair was amazing! She answered all the crazy questions I had and was very helpful! She even sent me pictures of my sweet boy on the way to meet up. He was very socialized already that when it came to meet his big brother, he was ready to play! He is one of the sweetest pups ever! 100% recommend! 🥰

Adair was quick to respond and willing to answer any questions I had. She did a video call since we had to travel a bit to pick up our new puppy. Highly recommend getting a dog from her.
