Tuff is a very gentle natured dog, he is has been raised in home with our family that includes small children. He enjoys his days off leash roaming our acreage and playing alongside our horses and goats. He knows a few great tricks and loves to go swimming in the creek during the summer. He has a protective nature that makes him a safe dog for children and families. He is my most trainable dog to date, very smart.

I can’t say enough good things about Jeslyn! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. While we were out of town, she went above and beyond by holding our puppy for us, keeping him loved and cared for until we could pick him up. She even sent us video updates the whole time, which meant so much and helped us feel connected. When we finally met to bring our puppy Wilder home, Jeslyn came prepared with his food and some of his favorite toys so he’d have comfort items that felt familiar. It’s clear she truly loves and understands her dogs, and that care shows in every little detail. We’re so grateful to her for giving Wilder such a great start, highly recommend Jeslyn to anyone looking for a puppy!
