    Kim was really responsive. We had about a 30 minute video chat so I could see my puppy and how she interacted. She’s well cared for, and you could tell she had been socialized. She does great with cats, dogs and kids. Kim went out of her way to meet me in a mutually agreeable place. So glad I came here.

    Kimberly was so easy and great to work with. She did a call with me so I could see my puppy in person and sent several updated photos as I waited to pick up my puppy. Once I settled on a name, I let Kimberly know what it was and she started calling her by the name I had picked. Kimberly asked if I wanted Emmie crate trained and now that she is with me she does great in her crate! Kimberly is very responsive and so helpful with any questions I have. I would highly recommend her as a breeder.

    Kimberly was very prompt and informative. She brought Miss. Pepper, AKA Hazel to us and We are very pleased and thoroughly over joyed. Pepper is settling in nice Potty training was a bit of a challenge because of the Ice and snow storms, but she is doing much better. Our den looks like it snowed Poly Dacron snow from the toys she has eviscerated and tat is a challenge keeping it picked up. She is stubborn and still does not come whe called and we can not let her outside off of a lead. All in good time. Penny the big Golden Retriever is adjusting but...
