Sage was great, weekly video updates, a wealth of information and a perfect puppy! We can’t recommend her highly enough, thank you 🐶

Sage was very responsive and helpful to us throughout our process of finding our puppy! This was our first puppy and first beagle and we had a lot of questions that she answered for us. When picking a puppy she told us which puppy would match the personality we were looking for and she nailed it, that also speaks to how well she knows and socializes her pups. We are absolutely in love with Estes (previously Zoey) and she is well socialized, healthy, and happy. She came with all medical records which made it very easy for our first vet visit. We were nervous about finding an ethical breeder, but we did! Only positive things to say about Sage!

Sage was extremely responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. She drove to Reno and met us to drop him off. Bodhi (formerly Max) is a great addition to our family.
