    My experience was super great. They were both very patient with me asking 1 million questions and I actually flew to them from California to pick up. The puppy. Had a great time visiting with both the two legged parents and the four-legged parents. Being able to meet the parents was very helpful and making my decision about having one of their puppies. He is the easiest puppy I’ve ever had in my life. While not completely housebroken, he pretty much was for the most part housebroken when I picked him up. When I went back to the hotel room, he did not have an accident all night long and went out straight away to go poop and pee. he has been a delight to have and I have now had him about three weeks. I want to thank the whole family for taking such good care of the puppies, socializing them, and passing them on out into the world and such a great way!
