Verified owner · Feb. 2024
Working with Jen and her family was wonderful from our initial contact all the way through today. Jen was so responsive throughout the very exciting process and always answered our questions thoughtfully. It's so evident how much she cares about her dogs and puppies and we are so happy to have one of her puppies. We couldn't be happier with our little girl - we are more in love with her every day.
