    Gayle made this experience so incredible. She was so sweet and cares so much for her dogs and pups. She always answered any question I had, and sent me weekly updates about Jinx. I was unable to cone up to visit the pups before the pick up date, but she made time to facetime me so I could see Jinx. She cares so deeply. I would go through this experience again just because of how amazing she was. I now have the cutest little fur baby who is so amazing and happy.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
