+4Denise was AMAZING and so responsive!!! She updated about the litter daily and posted pictures of all the pups and there were 11!! She put so much time, attention and love into what she does and it comes out in the puppies!! We got a female we named Ren which was the pink collar girl and she is so sweet. She’s not afraid of noises loud or soft. She loves exploring her new home and has zero hesitation. Her natural curiosity is there and because of Denise’s work with the puppies Ren had zero issue in her life transition with us. I could not be more pleased with our new family member! Huge shout out to Denise and I recommend those looking for an amazing new family member to reach out to her and hope she has an up coming litter! Also on delivery day she drove over 4 hours to meet us without hesitation! Again amazing person/breeder with amazing puppies!!!!!

Denise was incredible! From the very start when she was considering us for one of the puppies in her little she always communicated clearly, effectively, and timely! After we knew and chose our puppy from her, she always sent us updates DAILY. Even if I wanted specific pictures and videos of our new puppy, she made them and sent them to us that day. She always was readily able to answer questions, she was just great. When we finally picked up chopper (our puppy) he was in perfect condition. Happy, healthy, plump and taken care of!! She gave us all the vet records, and even a cute puppy bag with blankets with special scents from the parent dogs and the litter, kibble, poop bags and special toys she picked for him! Thank you Denise for everything!! We are so happy with our new addition to our family!

Working with Denise was a perfect experience. She covered all aspects of acquiring our puppy seamlessly. Throughout the process there was ZERO anxiety or worry. All of our questioned were answered promptly and thoroughly. Denise provided us with all the information to fly our puppy home comfortably. She provided updates on the litter and process of raising the puppies daily, including vet visits. As soon as we selected a name for our puppy she began using it and he recognized his name by the time we brought him home. Our expectations of his socialization and early stages of training were surpassed. Working with Denise was an amazing experience and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a well socialized and loved boxer puppy.

Denise was a great choice to work with for the latest addition to our family. She was quick to respond to any questions and was always happy to provide additional pictures. With small children in our family, temperament was pivotal in our decision, and it is clear that these puppies were truly loved and well cared for. Our puppy is confident when assessing new things, yet very eager for snuggles, too. Having rescued several dogs, it is very apparent when a puppy or dog has not been given opportunities to experience different people, environments, and stimuli early on, which can create challenges as they grow. Our puppy has clearly been given those experiences, and it shows. He truly was the perfect choice for our family, and we could not be happier with him!

Denise was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated almost on a daily basis. She was very prompt to answer any questions I had and took my questions seriously. Denise is incredibly knowledgeable and deeply cares for the puppies and their forever homes. She was also extremely accommodating when it came time for us to pick our puppy. I would certainly recommend Denise to anyone who might be looking for their new furry family member.
