My wife and I had a great experience with Ninon , Bartletts German Shepards. Ninon was responsive to my every question and e mail. We were allowed to visit multiple times at her home where the pups were all well taken care of. Everything about the experience was transparent. Our puppy Memphis is a great dog. We feel lucky to have found a responsible breeder and look forward to many years with our new member of the family. Thank You.
