    Our experience with Teresa was wonderful!, though at first I was concerned as to why she hadn't reached out to my messages as quickly as others id messaged, it turned out her phone wasn't working properly. She was very knowledgeable and understanding. You could tell her dogs meant more to her then just a pay check. She worked with me when it came to picking up Nico our new puppy as we were coming from out of state him. She was super sweet with me and my family and nico was in great shape when we picked him up. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sheltie family dog or show dog etc, she's a wonderful breeder!!!!
