    Roberta was so responsive and kind with all my questions. She helped guide me as this was the first time I was adopting out of state. Her and her daughter made this process so easy and they were very accommodating even providing me with all the necessary first essentials for traveling with my pup. From first getting my pup I could tell that he was coming from a very loved home and I’m so happy Roberta brought us together. I know I could reach out whenever I have a question. I can see and feel that Roberta and her daughter, Nikki, have been doing this with so much care and knowledge in providing you with a healthy and happy mini dox puppy. I’m so appreciative to Behive Doxies! And I love my puppy Bruno, formally Mr. Pickles :)
