We are so happy with our puppy from Bliss Retrievers. He is so amazing, smart, playful, outgoing, and so darn cute. They did a great job raising him and introducing him to the great big world. Shipping him to us was easy, and we were in constant contact until we got our puppy at the airport. Would highly recommend Bliss Retrievers.
