+6Nyx was absolutely great to work with; she returned my calls and messages and was very flexible in setting up a time for me to come pick up my puppy. I am SO HAPPY with this little puppy who I have named Atticus. I can tell that he has been trained in Puppy Culture from early on. What an amazing difference it makes to have a great breeder and one who cares so much about her puppies. Nyx is a gem. I can't thank her enough. Sincerely, Ann H.
