Hi!! Dawn is amazing!! She kept me very well informed since day one about my baby girl Aurora. She sent weekly updates and photos. And we would just chit chat like friends. When it was time for pick up, she drove an hour out of her way to meet me closer and she gave us an adorable bag with a bunch of goodies and things to make my baby’s new home life more comfortable. I have never had such a great experience. She treated the babies so good and they had a healthy up bringing before they are sent to their forever homes!! Our family and her big brother Chunky love her very much!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawn while adopting a pug, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, it was clear that she genuinely cares about her dogs.
One of the standout aspects was the extra effort she put into potty training. By the time we brought our little pug home, she was already well on her way to being fully trained, which made the transition so much smoother for us. Dawn provided detailed guidance and tips that helped us continue the process seamlessly.
The love and attention she gives to her pups are evident, and it’s clear she’s dedicated to raising happy, healthy dogs. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder. Our little pug is a joy, and we’re so grateful to have found her!

Dawn was amazing to work with from the start!!! Answered all of my questions, let me call her to ask more questions, and sent pictures and videos to us of our sweet little guy! When we drove to AZ to pick him up, we met her at convenient public place for both of us. She was so sweet and could tell she really care about her sweet pug babies! Norman (previously Sirius) is just the cutest, sweetest guy! Already so good with being potty trained and he and our 1yr old pug, Walter, have just got along great! The perfect addition to our family! We can’t thank Dawn enough!

She kept us informed through the whole process. We reserved Stormy at 1 week old, and she sent us pictures and also kept us informed on weight and health. The delivery went smooth. She had a tote bag with all her accessory’s to help with a smooth transition to adapt to her new home.
