Arlin and family were fabulous to work with. Communication was wonderful and I felt confident that we were adopting from a caring breeder. We are absolutely in love with Eeyore (now named Hazel). Rest assured she is being spoiled and is settling in nicely. Her favorite thing may just be temple massages 😉

We had the best experience with Arlin They went above and beyond for us and our new puppy. We could tell right away that our new family member was a happy, loving girl because of Arlin’s care and her playful family. I would definitely recommend getting a puppy from her.

We recently adopted our sweet Nora (Daisy) from the Horst family and we could not be happier. She is very healthy and very smart! She exceeds all expectations and we could not recommend this breeder more! The family was very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable about the breed and the litter. We are so grateful we found them on GoodDog. We love our little Nora. Thank you again Horst family
