Kari I.
Verified owner · Aug. 2023
We had a great experience with Tricia and appreciated her updates throughout, her flexibility, and the opportunity to meet our baby in person before we eventually took her home! Our little girl has such a sweet, cuddly temperament and has been a breeze throughout puppyhood. We're so grateful we found Apricity and that Tricia gave her such a strong start.
