Amanda was a great communicator and very friendly. She agreed to keep our puppy for an extra week as we live a few hours away and couldn't make it to her house until the following weekend. She invited us into her house and let us stay for awhile to meet our puppy's mom and get to know us. She also gave us a nice bag with some puppy food, AKC registration papers, vet records, and blanket with scent from the mom and litter mates. Our puppy Juniper (Junie) has been wonderful so far. She is very well behaved and I can tell she was well taken care of and socialized before we got her. Amanda also checked in with us the day after we got home to see how everything was going. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an Australian Shepherd.
