    We adopted our Cavapoo, Blossom, from Kimberly and couldn’t be happier! Blossom came to us well socialized, healthy, and full of personality. She’s been such a joy to add to our family. Kimberly was responsive and kind throughout the process. She answered all of our questions and even met us halfway to make pickup easier. It’s clear she truly cares for her dogs and wants to ensure they go to loving homes. We recommend Kimberly to anyone considering adopting a puppy!

    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...

    Kimberly is absolutely amazing. She was responsive to all of our questions regarding our puppy, Patches prior to our adoption. Our pick up was flawless, and it was wonderful meeting the person who made it possible for us to adopt our precious cavipoo. I might add that even after we took Patches home, she was available to help us with questions. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone who is considering adopting a cavipoo. Now we will stay in touch with Kimberly with puppy updates!
