    JC was awesome. Put my deposit down about 2 weeks before the puppy was ready to be adopted. Multiple times she sent me new pictures of the puppy. She was also very friendly and knowledgeable and answered every question I had. When I met her to pick up my new dog she gave me a really useful starter pack of various things to help with the transition. I am very happy with this dog. He is a very energetic and tiny love bug. We agreed on a time and place to meet and she was early and full of information. These are good people, for sure. If I was to get another puppy I would talk to her first.

    JC was wonderful to work with when we reached out about one of her puppies we were interested in. She talked with us about our knowledge of the breed and was very compassionate when we told her about the loss of our 17 year old cattle dog. JC was very accommodating with our initial request to hold the puppy past the pick up date and then our decision to come and get him early. My husband met JC at the airport in NC and it was a smooth exchange. JC provided everything we needed to take our puppy on the plane and home for the first couple of days. JC continues to be responsive as we have questions while our puppy Logan settles in. Logan is such a sweet boy and is very calm and great with our daughters. We are so happy he is part of our family and we are grateful to JC.

    We truly could not have asked for a better breeder. From the very moment we picked out our puppy, she has been nothing but supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. She is there for you every step of the way, not just during the selection process, but even after you bring your puppy home. She is the sweetest lady and genuinely cares about her dogs and the families they go to. We’ve had our puppy for over a week now, and Navi is already the best dog we’ve ever had, smart, well-tempered, and very easy to train. You can tell so much love and effort goes into raising her puppies. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and truly exceptional breeder.

    Our experience working with JC was amazing. Our dog Captain is the best boy. He wakes up every morning and makes his rounds biting everyone’s noses to wake them up. He watches over my eight year old and has amazing temperament with kids.He caught us a couple snakes and mice, he’s a great guardian. I am so blown away on how easy he was to train. He loves us and we love him.
