    Arlene was amazing. The whole experience was easy! Arlene was very responsive and educational during the process. We decided to have “Sammie” delivered to us over 2500 miles. It was affordable and Sammie arrived stress free and as happy as a clam. She settled in within hours. I would highly recommend using Arlene as a breeder!

    Arlene was great to work with. She was very quick to respond to any inquiries I had. We drove to pick our boy up from her house. It was a beautiful drive. She had everything organized and made the whole process pleasant. Our new pup is very happy and so well adjusted. He is not skittish or scared of anything. He loves cuddles and playtime. I highly recommend Arlene and her puppies.

    Arlene is wonderful! Our very happy pup was definitely loved and well cared for before coming home to us. Arlene answered all our questions and made drop off so easy. Our puppy has adjusted well and gives us lots of kisses! He also loves his new feline brother!

    Arlene was so easy to work with, she even sent pictures of my puppy on a regular basis. Sadie is adorable, she’s friendly, outgoing and curious about everything. The third night we had her she slept through the night! Such a good girl. Our whole family loves Sadie. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for a quality puppy to consider Arlene.

    We are so thankful to Arlene for our precious little LilyJo! After searching the entire country for over 6 months, we found the perfect family member at a price that wouldn’t ruin us financially. She was so easy to work with and made some accommodations that were truly above and beyond! Our little LilyJo (Jade) has been an absolute unicorn of a puppy. She’s smart, sweet and so chill and relaxed. It’s clear that she was dearly loved and cared for to have that level of laid back, care free attitude. She’s a quiet, gentle cuddle bug who loves snuggles and hasn’t cried, fussed or barked about anything ( even her crate, in a brand new place!) She’s just a good good girl and we are over the moon that she’s ours!

    Arlene was responsive and guided us through the whole process. She answered all of our questions and provided all the paperwork. You can tell the puppies are well treated and our puppy adjusted quickly to his new home. I couldn’t be happier about the experience. Would definitely recommend her.
