Carey at Burr Oak Hills Kennel was very responsive and very helpful when it came to adopting a puppy. The entire way she provided me with photos and updates. When I was able to get my pup the paperwork that came with him was top notch, even the Vet was in awe of how much detail was involved. I would definitely buy a puppy from them again if I was interested in the future
